" . . . The recent sting of abductions continues. Authorities warn of a sex predator and ask females from sixteen to twenty to stay in doors or travel in pairs. . ." Amy turned the radio off and looked expectantly around the room. Lita had cleaned the main room for the meeting, the white carpeting still showed the vacuum lines, and she was dusting a shelf in the hall. Serena, Rei, and Mina sat around the square table on the floor and stared back at her for a moment. Darien had picked them up from school and dropped them off here, he said he had a corporate meeting or something.
"We know about them, Amy," Lita called from the hall, "The creep is good though, police have no clues or suspects."
"Look at these," Amy continued as she took a folder from her bag and laid out some pieces of paper on the table, "These are photographs from the police database of the victims. Notice anything?"
"Wow, Amy," Rei smirked, "Did you hack into the police database? This isn't like you." Mina looked down at the photographs while Serena looked at the television and yawned.
"I'm an inspector's assistant, Rei," Amy answered, "I told you about it last week."
"They're us," Mina whispered and Rei and Serena snapped their heads to look. "All of these girls look like us."
Lita walked forward and gazed over Rei's shoulder. She looked at the pages for a moment and looked up at Amy, "Shouldn't we tell the police about this? I mean it is a clue."
Amy sighed and answered, "No, we shouldn't. Then police will want to question us and know about the Scouts."
"We can't do nothing," Rei snarled, "Those girls might be in danger when he has them finds out they aren't us."
"He probably already knows," Amy said, "He's kidnapped more than one counterpart for each of us. What puzzles me is that, if he is looking for us and knows he hasn't found us, why hasn't he set the girls free?"
"He might be some kind of pervert," Lita answered angrily, "We should be out there, use ourselves as bay, or whatever you call it."
"Bait, Lita," Amy corrected, "And we don't know anything about his methods. He's taken girls from parks, malls, and even schools at all times in the day. The only thing that connects them is their resemblance to us. We wouldn't know where or how to start."
"Well I'm not going to cower here," Rei snarled as she stood up and narrowed her eyes, "If he wants a piece of me, he's free to try."
"I'll go with you," Lita chimed in, "he's in for more than he can handle." She held out her transformation pen and gripped it tightly.
"Its too dangerous," Amy scolded, "we don't know anything about him."
"We can't learn anything here, can we?" Rei mused as she stood and moved towards the door, "Come on, Lita, its time to stop who ever it is." Amy sighed as the two walked out the door. She turned back to Mina, brushing her hands over some of the pictures, and Serena, still looking around the room.
They shared a moment of silence until Mina spoke up, "It's just awful. Those girls didn't do anything. Why would someone do this?"
