Lady Alhanda was beyond furious.  She was certain Karogen knew everything she needed to know.  Then she heard him call her enemy his brother.  Then she heard him offer to find him... which was a disguised plea to be released.  She had heard enough.<br/><br/>"FIND HIM?!" she roared in his ear.  Then, dropping to an ice-cold whisper, "Do you honestly believe I will let you go after what you have told me?"  She stood up straight abruptly, as if stifling the urge to rip out Karogen's innards that very moment.  She calmed herself, knowing that her more feral tendencies would not get her where she needed to be.<br/><br/>At the back of her mind, something was itching.  All furs had a slight psychic sense, manifesting itself more as an enhanced intuition, but this feeling was different... something was happening in the room that went beyond what she could truly detect.  Distracted for a moment, she blinked and looked around.  A vixen guard by the wall drew her attention, but she didn't know exactly why.  The vixen looked normal enough, if a bit... rugged.  But if there was anything she was doing that Alhanda was picking up on, she wasn't doing it now.<br/><br/>The Lady narrowed her eyes at the vixen and looked very hard at her momentarily.  If the vixen was truly doing something, the focus the Lady held on her should intimidate her enough to make her stop.  If she wasn't doing anything, the vixen would have nothing to worry about.<br/><br/>Then Lady Alhanda let her attention return to the human held prone on the floor.  She regained her anger and sneered down at him.<br/><br/>"You are very close to losing your rights," she said plainly.  "You say Lentan was a brother to you?  You should know very much about his personality and history, then.  The fact that you are avoiding telling me any of this only further convinces me that you are working for him."  She bent over slightly, her voice switching to a coy lilt, as if she were teasing a lover.  "Did you recognize the man you shared your cell with?"  She smirked, crouching beside Karogen.  "Oh, he must have looked familiar.  Might even be one of these 'top officers' you mentioned."<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>The First Sergeant in Hempstead listened to the three explain themselves and still didn't quite know how to react.  The girl was damn pretty and certainly had her head screwed on right, the bat-fur seemed sincere, and the half-tigress was... entertaining.  He smirked and nodded to them.  After all, not much was going on right now, and as far as he knew they were well behind the lines.  What could it hurt?  "All right," he said.  "If you want to help, there's really not much to do right now besides keep an eye on your friends here and make sure they don't get themselves killed.  Uh..." he thought of a place to put them.  "How about you guys watch all the protesters over by the gas station?" He pointed them in the right direction.<br/><br/>-----<br/><br/>Halvorson's eyes widened at Chiro's explanation.  "She heard the Bitch on that recording?"  He walked over to Sara.  "You guys have a bug inside the Palace?"
