Pinky

Perry sounded panicked. I don't know how he knows what happened. Since he hadn't stopped it, he clearly hadn't been present. It doesn't really matter how he knows. He's our best agent, it only makes sense that he would know if something had happened.

So when he says that Mother probably knows about what's about to happen, I take him seriously.

We're approaching the mansion, I can see it from a distance. We start to aim our grappling hooks at the mansion when I hear something coming. I throw my paw in the air.

"Wait!"

They stop and turn to me.

"What's wrong, Pinky?" Callie asks.

"Something's coming…" I mutter, looking around. And then I see it. My eyes widen. "Maldito idiota…"

It's Perry, quickly approaching the mansion on a motorcycle. The others spot him as well. He sees us and makes his way over to us. He parks next to us and cuts his engine.

"Good, you're here," Perry hops off of the bike. "We don't have long."

"¡Idiota! ¿Qué demonios estás haciendo?" I exclaim. "¡Estás demasiado emocionalmente comprometido para estar aquí!"

"¿Qué demonios esperabas que hiciera, Pinky? Huh? Huh?" He gives me a look that tells me that if I answer him right now, he'll knock my head off (and he's strong enough to do it). I've never seen him like this. He points at the mansion."I'm not going to let Mother hurt her and get away with it!"

I'm left in stunned silence as Perry's anger quickly gives way. He's suddenly trembling.

"And if— if— if something happens to her…" His eyes slowly fill with tears.

I throw my arms around him. "Está bien, Perry… We're not gonna let that happen. Diana's gonna be fine." I back away from him. "Go back to the hotel, we'll handle this."

He shakes his head. "Ni hablar. We— we need all five of us." His voice is cracking as he's talking.

"We've got this, Perry," Steve says. "We know how to do our job."

"I don't doubt any of you," Perry says, shaking his head again. "That's why I specifically requested each of you. This isn't up for debate."

"Perry…" Callie says quietly. He looks at her, and in that moment I see pure sadness in both of their eyes. "I— I know what you're feeling. But… but you have to sit this out. You have to."

"Not happening. Who of us here have been inside that place? That's right, only me. We're wasting time. Let's go."

"No, Perry!" Callie almost screams. "You could get hurt the way you are right now!"

"I don't give a damn what happens to me! I'm not leaving her in there!"

I hiss at Peter, "Interject, will you?"

He nods at me. "Perry." Perry turns to him and, if looks could kill, Peter would drop dead. But the panda doesn't flinch. "You're going with us."

"What?!" Callie, Steve and I exclaim. Perry gives Peter a grateful smile.

Peter gives us a hard look. "Perry is our best agent, hands down. He's been in there before; he knows what Mother looks like. He has the most experience of any of us. I'll feel more confident that we'll succeed if he's in there with us. Now stop arguing over this like a bunch of children."

"Thank you, Peter," Perry says quietly. He turns to the rest of us.

Several seconds pass before I sigh. "Mierda…" I mutter under my breath. "Fine, let's go. We need to find that cure. Remember, all of the female animals are victims; they are not to be attacked. We can assume that any humans and male animals are either associates of Mother's or clients. Avoid them if at all possible, but if you're spotted, take them down as quickly and quietly as you can."

Perry nods and pulls out a grappling hook. He aims and fires. He's pulled by the steel cable up to the top of the mansion. We follow suit, one by one. I go last.

Peter rips a grate off of a vent and sets his grappling hook to the edge of it. We begin to slip down it.

We've entered Mother's Mansion.
