A jail cell. Two guys arguing on one side of the bars. Spark, a woman with pointed projecting teeth, and a man who looks like he really needed a shave and a week's worth of sleep were on the "not in jail" side of the bars, trying not to listen in on the argument on the other side.

"He said it wasn't him?" the woman said, over the argument - which seemed to be about how stupid one of them looked holding a cat hostage, how the other betrayed that one, saving said cat, to save the one yelling at him. Because in jail someone called Urban Eddie couldn't get to them. about freedom, and earning respect vs taking it. "Of course it was!" the woman continued. "That was the worst disguise I had ever seen!"

"Yeah!" Spark said, putting his front paws on the man's shoulder to get him to listen. "And besides, I saw his face under the mask! I'm a star witness!"

"Sorry, Spark," the man said, turning to face him, "but the testimony of talking animals isn't legally admissible. It's too easily tampered with."

"What?!" Spark protested. "That's absurd! My word is as good as..." he trailed off staring as the man pulled out a fish as long as Spark was.

"Change your story, and I'll give you this," the man said, holding up the fish.

Spark couldn't take his eyes off of it. "I saw nothing, Bumper ****s. Gimmie fish."


"Leia?!" Spark called. "Leia? Where are you?"
