| Quax was their head of police. That wasn't his real name. I can't say his real name, or even spell it. So I call him Quax.
He was showing me the room where their glowing energy ball had been hovering up until last night. That's when someone stole it. I was there to find out who. "We guard this room with I.D. scanners," Quax quacked. "Last night, the scanners stopped working when they tried to read the person who took the Energy-globe." Stopped working? I looked at one of the scanners. More like blew up. "Or the thing that took your ball," I said. "There's only one creature that will fry a camera like that. A shape-shifter." Shape-shifters. Dirty, sneaky, dangerous things. They can change into anything! I should know. I am one. |
