Jess smiled and put the Human's phone on the nightstand, "I think I'll sleep now. Perhaps the fright of your little secret tired me out for once." She said, laying beside her, "But you should know your boss is perverted. All he will hire are attractive women because he likes to watch them run." She went silent and turned onto her stomach, hugging Yumi's second pillow and sighed with comfort, "Night, Yumi."<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>Lex woke to a blurred image of a vertical line of light. He blinked a few times, hearing a door slam, then a truck start up outside then pull away. Shaking his head, he tried to clear the cobwebs in his mind. It smelled of fresh laundry wherever he was. He looked up and felt fabric dance on the top of his head. It took him a moment to realize he was in a closet.<br/><br/>He sat up, still feeling stiff and sore, but it was manageable, better than before. His throat was still burning and sore, now made worse from thirst. Trying to stay silent, he quietly pushed open the door and peered outside, squinting from the morning light. Standing, he had to hold the wall to stay standing, pins and needles rushing through his legs from being cramped in that small place. Looking around the room he spotted Yumi still asleep, but then yet another furred girl was laying next to her, a fluffy fox tail sticking in the air. Lex raised a brow in confusion, as the fox girl was cuddled into Yumi with her arm around her stomach.<br/><br/>He left the room, finding the bathroom across the hall. Here he immediately went to the sink and turned on the water, first taking a drink, then splashing cold water on his face. After drying off with a nearby towel, he left the bathroom and began to explore the house he was taken to.<br/><br/>The kitchen was rather spacious, with an island in the middle and new looking appliances. It opened to a carpeted living room, with a microfibre couch set and a flat screen television. Lex found himself grabbing the remote and turning it on. He was only mildly surprised to see that everyone on TV was some sort of Humanoid animal. The newscaster was an Owl. The shopping channel was selling fur grooming kits. The science fiction channel was showing a show similar to Star Trek, where the captain of the ship was a Eagle, where the security officer was a Bear. He sat on the couch and left the channel there, finding the show interesting.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Red Alert!" the Captain bellowed.<br/><br/>"Aye sir!" a crewman responded. An alarm sounded and flashing red lights lit up the bridge. The camera focused on the Captain's concerned look as he stared at the viewscreen.<br/><br/>"Enemy ship is attacking!"<br/><br/>"We've done nothing to provoke them! Why are they doing this?!" someone asked. The Captain gripped his chair as the ship shook beneath him from impact of enemy fire.<br/><br/>"Humans need no reason to attack. They only intend to conquer and enslave. We are nothing more than cattle to them." he said, "Return Fire!"</span><br/><br/>Lex's eyes went wide. He leaned forward to hang his head in his hands. He had no idea of what was going on. Humans here were fictitious aliens that ought to be feared. Why was he here? Frustrated, he ran his fingers through his hair and changed the channel to the news in hopes of finding out where he was.
