RECAP:
	When Dorothy is brought to Senorita Cruz, a Jaguar who is in charge of laundry faculty for the school, to get a school uniform she learns that the bracelet is used to track the students, allow a student access to specific classes, and also none of the staff wear the bracelets leading to something a whole lot more perilous going on at Bast.
	Sara has learned that the bracelets are used to quell all violent actions. While also discovering that the detailed art work through out the schools molding, that runs near the ceiling, has a pattern and she has a feeling that it may have something to do with the missing student.
	Lastly the two of the each discover a visitor to the school that neither of them expected.

	We pick up with Sara looking over the background checks of the teachers Dorothy will have. They where delivered to the guest room moments ago by a rather startled German Shepard who was not expecting Sara to be in the room where upon ending up looking down a barrow of a gun. Sara paces while turning the pages of the documents. They are very detailed, down to records from grade school along with some pretty personal information. Sara is finding that most of the teachers are Feline with a couple exceptions. One of those being the math teacher that brings the two friends to the school. The teacher is a Collie Furry. Dorothy did not speak to much about her other than the  teacher being a wonderful mentor and someone who believed in her during the Dalmatian's high school years.
	Sara tosses the files of the other teachers on her bed and takes a seat in a comfortable chair at the desk to read up on this teacher that Dorothy holds in such high regards.

	Dorothy is wide awake as she hold the covers over herself listening and waiting for her roommates to be a sleep before retrieving the laptop. She earlier just barely retrieved the PDA when her roommates where in the bathroom changing and cleaning up for bed. She slid the compact computer under her pillow just as Mathilda appeared from the bathroom. For a moment their eyes met one another and Dorothy thought for sure that the roommate knew what she was doing. However the larger roommate just smiles and goes to her bed.
	The Dalmatian is not particularly looking forward to tomorrow as the case is becoming increasingly complicated to add to this fact is she still has as of yet found the bracelet where Dorothy is unsure what will happen during the school day without it.
	When several more hours have passed Dorothy sits up, ever so carefully, to look at Mathilda and then to lisabeth finding them both deep asleep. Slowly she slides out of bed, PDA in hand, and carefully gets the hidden laptop. As she is removing the clothes, to reveal the computer, she finds the bracelet as it somehow got into the pile of clothes. The green glow having revealed it's self causing Dorothy to be relieved to have it back. She shoves the bracelet into her night gown pocket. She opens the laptop in hopes  that the program she started hours ago has finished its job. Dorothy stares at the raw data finding that the program has indeed done its job and she know has to have the program turn the raw data into a visual schematics of the school.
	Dorothy turns suddenly when she hears one of her roommates snort. She becomes so incredible fearful of one them waking that the Dalmatian forgets to breath for several long moments. Realizing that the roommate is not waking up she takes several deep long breathes.
	Soon Dorothy is set up in the bathroom and has a program creating a three dimensional schematic of the school. It's not a perfect display as it is a wire frame of the school still Dorothy is pleased by how it is coming together. While the program creates the schematic she prepares the PDA to receive the schematics. This will be the fourth PDA Dorothy has built for Sara. She can not understand how Sara is always breaking them.
	Dorothy taps away at the computer her back against the bathroom door, since it has no lock, her purse seated close by to where she can grab the twenty-two if she should need it. Still the hacker becomes so engrossed into her work that she does not realize how much time has passed.
	After completing a rather complicated lines of code Dorothy looks up from the screen only to find that day light is slowly creeping in through the bathroom window.
	Oh no, Dorothy says realizing that she probable does not have any more to spend on the program. OK, I guess this will have to do, she says running the program. While the computer does it's thing Dorothy digs in her purse to find the retainer communication device. The Dalmatian is unsure how far away her friend is and whether or not the signal will be strong enough to carry to where ever Sara is.
	Dorothy examines the retainer and finds the switch to activate it.

	Sara, seated at the desk in the guest room, flips open the pocket watch and wonders what is taking her friend so long to contact her. They had decided on a time to check in with one another if they should become separated but Dorothy has missed the check in time by several hours now.
	To the hell with this, Sara says taking up her guns and pocket watch.
	She is just about to turn the door knob to the guest room when she hears a static voice. Sara takes the pocket watch out and the voice is a little clearer.
	Dorothy, she calls to her friend into Sara's communication device that is disguised as the pocket watch.
	Sara, I can barely hear you, Dorothy says through the static.
	Right back at you, Sara says relieved when she realized that as of last night this case has become more complicated. Did you see him?
	Yes, do you think he knows you are here?
	I don't know.
	I was informed that he's on the board of governors for the school, Dorothy lets her friend know what she learned.
	Could be he is just here visiting then.
	Possible, Dorothy says pausing I got the schematic for you, she adds.
	Good girl.
	The place is huge.
	We expected that, Sara responds Dorothy about the bracelets..., she begins to say.
	I was able to get mine off, Dorothy says having cut Sara off.
	Sara smiles with relief to hear that but is not surprised that Dorothy was able to get the control device off.
	The bracelets are a form of control, Dorothy says.
	I realize that.
	It is Dorothy's turn to smile as she wonders how her friend found out that bit of information and yet it does not surprise her considering how resourceful she knows Sara to be.
	Dorothy, keep it with you. Remember it is a tracking system and we do not want to bring about any unneeded suspicion.
	Dorothy nods her head taking the bracelet from her night gown pocket and putting it into a side pocket of her purse. Sara, how am I going to get you the PDA?
	Sara brows furrow as she is unsure of that and with out the schematics of the school she could get lost. When is your first class? she asks.
	Um... Dorothy says trying to remember what her roommate told her about the schedule. I believe it's mathematics.
	Sara looks back to the desk where the file on the teacher is. 'So Dorothy will have her mentor for her first class,'  she is thinking. 'So I will have to hook up with Dorothy before her first class.' Alright, here is what we will do, Sara begins saying at breakfast we will get together.
	Sure thing, Dorothy responds while beginning the process of transferring the school's schematics to the PDA.
	Dorothy did you get that ? Sara asks wondering why she did not respond.
	Dorothy tips her head sideways wondering if Sara just did not hear her. I said, sure thing, she responds once more.
	Dorothy, call back! Sara shouts worried about her friend.
	Sara, Dorothy says worried as she hears the sudden concern from her friend and the realization that Sara can not hear her. Dorothy stomach becomes tight as the feeling of being trapped and hopes Sara does not do anything crazy. She does not have a whole lot of time to ponder on what Sara night do as an alarm begins buzzing from her purse. The Dalmatian jumps from the sudden unexpected alarm and quickly dives for the purse to dig through it franticly searching for what might be making the noise, worried that it will wake the roommates.

	Sara clicks the pocket watch shut unsure what is going on. At the moment she believes that Dorothy is alright and washes the thoughts of their cover being blown. However Sara does not want to take any chances. The black Cat changes her clothes from the business suit to jeans, t-shirt, and her leather jacket while adding as many clips of ammo she can hold having a feeling that what ever is going on will happen today.
	Alright, only one last thing to do, Sara says flipping out a switch blade and slides it beneath the bracelet and prepares to cut the dam device  off. Slowly Sara puts the knife's sharp blade against the bracelet and an odd sensation comes over her. The feeling of dj vu, as though she did this before but wonders why. Sara begins to figure it must have been at some point in her past. She wonders what happened back then and if there where any ill effects.
	Sara stops thinking about it as the sun rays come through her window. She begins to cut the bracelet off, figuring if the school does not know where she is the better to be able to get around. As the knife presses against the band Sara feels a tingling sensation of electricity. However its not bad enough to cause her to stop so Sara presses more firmly getting an increase electrical feeling but the knife does not seam to be able to cut the bracelet.
	OK, Sara says letting up on the knife and simultaneously the electrical sensation dies away. So obviously it can not be cut off this way, she says So how did Dorothy get hers off.

	Dorothy fumbles with the bracelet trying to figure out why it is buzzing. This is becoming quit embarrassing for her as she got it off so easily. Then her ears stands on end when someone walks into the bathroom door.
	Hey what's this? she hears one of her roommates call out. Who's in there?
	Dorothy scrambles in desperate need for someone to come save her.
	What is wrong? Dorothy hears her French roommate asks.
	Don't know, the door seams to be stuck, Mathilda says.
	Lady Anna, are you in there? lisabeth asks.
	Of course its Anna, Mathilda barks who else could it be?
	Well you never know.
	You know what lisabeth, maybe your in there, Mathilda says with heavy amount of sarcasm.
	But I am standing next to you.
	Dorothy  does not know what to do as she listens to the two roommates argue on the other side of the door. That's when she sees the window. Oh please open, Dorothy says gathering up all her equipment, in sweeping arm full, and rushes to the window. With one hand she pulls the window open but it only opens a quarter of the way and there is no way she can get through it. Scarred, like a mouse cornered, the Dalmatian does the only thing that she can think of. She grabs a towel raps the laptop in it and shoves it into a slot in the wall labeled laundry. Next she pockets the PDA in her her night gown. Finally Dorothy picks up the buzzing bracelet and lays it over her wrist just as the door opens.
	Lady Anna, what is going on? Mathilda asks first to enter the bathroom finding the young Dalmatian with one hand over her wrist trying to muffle the buzzing wake up signal that it is emitted to wake all the students for classes.
	She does not know how to turn it off, lisabeth say giggling.
	Run your thumb over the bracelet, Mathilda tells Lady Anna.
	Dorothy looks at the two roommates for a moment then does as Mathilda says and sure enough the flashing, buzzing bracelet quits and returns to it's normal glow of green
	What in the world where you doing? Mathilda asks.
	I... I... Dorothy tries to speak but is so flustered having no idea what to say with her heart pounding away.
	Are you OK? lisabeth asks as her giggles subside.
	Dorothy is unsure of what to do. She has never liked being on the spot and her stomach begins to feel queasy. She desperately wishes that Sara was here to protect her as the black Cat has since they first meet.

	Sara's sense of direction is most of the time spot on. However as she's been wandering the corridors of Bast for the last half an hour she now feels lost.
	For crying out load, she grumbles looking back the way she just came then forward. Where the hell am I?
	Sara had an easier time of finding the guest room last night than she is trying to find the dorm room Dorothy is in now. Of course when she experiences certain heightened sensations Sara is able to do things that is beyond her understanding only that it befits her and that she has never questioned it.
	After going down a few more corridors and making several turns Sara comes to a stop to throw her hands in the air. Oh for crying out load, she shouts and decides to end this endless wandering and goes to the nearest door and begins knocking.

	Dorothy grabs her muzzle feeling incredible sick and races to the toilet where the contents from the previous nights meal exit her in a way that is most undignified.
	Lady Anna, are you alright, Mathilda asks seeing the young Dalmatian hug the the toilet.
	Having the moment to catch herself, though not in a way she would have wanted, Dorothy turns to the tall Belgian Shepard. Its just my nervous, she ends up telling the two roommates.
	At that moment a rather load knock is at their dorm room door.
	Who could that be? lisabeth asks.
	Dorothy queasiness subsides as she has a strong feeling of knowing exactly who is at the door and her insecurity evaporate knowing that Sara has come to save her.

	As no one answers Sara pounds harder. The door opens quickly and the female who opens it shouts at Sara.

	Mathilda ties her rob close as she goes to the door wondering as, lisabeth said, who it could be at their door. Just as the Belgian Shepard is about to open the door she hears Lady Anna call out.
	Sara, I'm here, Dorothy shouts breaking her cover.

	What do you want, a rather cranky Tigress shouts down at Sara.
	Sara is not intimidated though the woman before her is bigger. My name is Miss Shadow and am a guest her at the school, she growls causing the Tigress to step back. Sara sees into the dorm room and quickly figures that the Tigress and the two other girls in the room are students.

	Mathilda does not even realize she opened the door and finds the person who is standing there  definitely does not go by the name Sara. In fact it is the schools doctor, Doctor Dashai.
	When Dorothy sees that it is not Sara at the door she looses all feeling in her legs and collapses to her knees in the bathroom doorway.
	Doctor Dashai, what brings you here? Mathilda asks.
	I've come to check up on my patient, he says then watches as the Dalmatian patient from yesterday falls to the floor. He rushes to the child as the French roommate also comes to help.

	Won't you come in, the Tigress says surprised by her own timidness by the woman before her.
	Sure thing, Sara says pulling up the back of her jacket so that if she needs to she can get to her guns, she has there, with no trouble.
	Who was at the ... a Lioness begins asking coming from the bathroom her mouth full of sudses as she was brushing her teeth. Stops upon seeing the pitch black Feline.
	Miss Black is visiting the campus and has become loss, the Tigress address to her stunned roommate.
	Five more minutes, the third roommate says from her bed rolling over. Sara sees that this girl is a Cheetah.
	Wake up, the Tigress says going to the Cheetah and shaking her. She then turns to Sara I'm sorry about this, she says nervously.
	Sara finds the reactions of the two awake girls quite odd. So while the Tigress is tries to wake their sleeping roommate she turns to the Lioness who's toothbrush hangs out of her mouth in utter surprise.
	Right, Sara says I am just wondering if you can point me in the direction of my charge?
	Um... I am not sure, the Lioness says with the toothbrush hanging out the corner of her mouth.
	Your charge? the Tigress asks while still trying to wake the third roommate.
	Yes, yesterday my charge and I came to the school. However we where separated at her dorm room and I am now finding that I can no longer find my charges dorm room.
	So you are not on the board of governors? the Tigress asks.
	No, Sara responds getting a tingle sensation on the back of her neck as the hairs stand on end and her whiskers begin twitching.
	She looks like the woman in the painting, the Lioness says taking ahold of her toothbrush.
	I agree, the Tigress says having given up on trying to wake the Cheetah.
	Excuse me, I still need help, Sara growls not liking these two teenagers ignoring her.
	Well if she's a student, she will have go to the dinning hall for breakfast, the Lioness says.
	Upon the mentioning of breakfast the Cheetah pops up. Did someone says breakfast, she shouts surprising everyone.

	Dorothy's eyes slowly flutter open to her two roommates and the school's doctor.
	You gave us a scare, lisabeth is the first to say.
	Well you seam fine, the Tiger doctor says. How do you feel?
	Dorothy is not sure how to answer the question, but says the first thing to come to her.
	I believe I had an anxiety attack, Dorothy ends up telling them as that is pretty close to the truth.
	Anxiety attack! Mathilda says. What type of stress could you have to cause an anxiety attack? she asks some what suspicious.
	'Think Dorothy' she says to herself while looking to each of the three people around her. 'What would Sara do if she where in a situation like this. Well for one Sara would never have an anxiety attack but if she ever got into a situation like this Sara would more than likely shoot her way out.' Dorothy smiles slightly thinking of her best friend quick fire tendencies.

	Sara's whiskers continue twitching as she follows the teenage Cheetah while the Lioness and Tigress take up the rear. All three of these teens are taller than her though they are younger. That is just how it is with the big Feline Furries versus those of the more common domestic Feline Furries. This does not mean that they are stronger, faster, or better than Sara as she has taken on nearly every type of Furry around. And yet her whiskers will not stop twitching.
	Hey girls, a guy calls from behind them, they all stop and turn.
	Coming up on Sara and her escorts are a Lion and Tiger. The Lion has yet to have a fully grown into his mane so it looks a little scruffy.
	So heading to breakfast? The Tiger asks.
	Sara looks around the Tigress and Lioness and the two teenage boys see her.
	Is that ... the Lion is just saying but is cut off by the Tigress.
	No, it is not, she says.
	But she looks ... the Tiger is just saying but goes silent when he gets the evil eye from the Lioness and Tigress.
	The Tigress goes to the two boys and pulls them close to her so that she can whisper to them. Sara's ears flick a few times until they are able to pick up what the Tigress is telling them.
	She may look like the woman in the painting but she is not. She is some new girls valet or something like that, Sara hears the Tigress whisper.
	The comparison to the painting is uncanny, the Tiger says.
	I was fooled as well,
	The three glance to Sara who is turned in such a way to them she is looking at the Cheetah.
	Let's go, let's go, the Cheetah gal say excitedly.
	One minute, the Lioness growls.
	But I'm hungry, she in turn whines and I got track practice this afternoon.
	Fine then, take Miss ... the Lioness pauses.
	It's Miss Shadow, Sara now turns to the two boys and the girl glaring at them. All three off the them fold their ears back surprised by their submission. Especial since it was caused by a domestic Feline Furry.
	Sara Follows the Cheetah to the dinning hall leaving the other Cats behind. She finds this Cheetah quit amazing as she races several feet ahead of Sara stops turns then races back. Sara can not figure if she is on something or if she is in dire need of food. Sara figures it is the latter as the teen keeps repeating the word breakfast over and over. By the time the two of them get to the dinning hall Sara is beginning to get hungry as well, which for her is unusual as she has gone a week without needing food at one time and even then she did not have the type of hunger pains she is now experiencing. When Sara opens the dinning hall door she's inundated with the wonderful smells of breakfast. Now she realizes why the Cheetah is so excited as she would be just excited if breakfast taste as good as it smells.
	So...so...so... the Cheetah says hopping from one foot to the next looking at Sara her eyes wide.
	What? Sara asks.
	So can I go eat now?
	Sara looks at her and nods yes. The Cheetah takes off for a table faster than she has seen anyone move, or at least to her memories recollection. The black Cat contemplates joining the Cheetah when her stomach rumbles but its the sound of her friend voice coming from just down the hallway of the dinning hall that stops Sara.

	Your sure you are going to be alright, lisabeth says in her sweet French accent.
	For the last time, I will be fine, Dorothy says having had repeated herself for the twelfth time or so. She still can not believe that the two roommates accepted her story about the anxiety attack being caused by her having to attend classes with other Furries for the first time. The doctor seamed apprehensive about the whole story and wanted Dorothy to come to the medical office. In the end Dorothy was able to convince him that once she got some food in her and past the first few classes everything will be alright. He agreed only if he escorted her along with the roommates to the dinning hall.
	The four of them stop before the dinning hall's doors where Dorothy begins looking around for Sara. She should be here, she says softly to herself while a little worried that she might have another panic attack.
	Lady Anna, you are certain that you are going to be alright? Doctor Dashai asks with a pleasant smile.
	Yes sir, Dorthy responds returning the smile.
	Well if you have any trouble you just come to the medical office or touch your bracelet like ... the doctor is saying reaching out for Dorothy's wrist.
	I'll be fine sir, Dorothy says chuckling putting her hand into the pocket of the skirt.
	When Dorothy had recovered and convinced her roommates along with the doctor that she is alright  she in turn told them that she just needs some time to time to freshen up. When  they gave her the privacy Dorothy quickly gathers everything up. Then while she dressed for school she put the PDA and the bracelet into the school bag.
	Dorothy twist the bracelet between her fingers as taking a small step away from the Indian doctor. Her eyes dart around the entrance to the dinning hall wondering where Sara is. Doctor Dashai begins talking with her two roommates and Dorothy sees the door open to the dinning hall. She turns to the door watching it open as everything seams to slowdown. Dorothy is unsure if she can take another let down of Sara not being there.

	Sara cracks the door open finding Dorothy along with the roommates and the doctor fellow. She wonders what he is doing with them. The doc makes a move to Dorothy's arm she had the bracelet on only to pull it away and stuffing it into her pocket. Sara makes a jerking motion, as though she is going to spring out from behind the door. However, holds back realizing that her friend can take care of herself.
	The doctor begins talking with the two roommates and Sara feels she can now approach her friend. She pushes the door open and watches her friend turn toward her. What happens next is something Sara does not expect.
	Lady Anna, Sara begins saying to her best friend.
	Sara, Dorothy shouts out and jumps to her friend embracing her in a hug, tears running down Dorothy's cheeks.
	Sara is taken back by her friend sudden embrace. Along with Dorothy calling out her name and all the people around the entrance to the dinning hall are looking at the two of them.
	Heh...heh, Sara chuckles. Lady Anna, I believe you are mistaken I am Miss Shadow, Sara tells her friend trying to quickly reconcile the situation.
	Dorothy looks up at her friend a little confused, and then around to the crowd. She wipes her eyes with  her sleeve. I'm sorry, she says. Miss Shadow, I just had a really bad night.
	It is Sara's turn to be confused and is just about asks Dorothy what she means when the doctor approaches them.
	Miss Shadow, the doctor begins saying we meet shortly yesterday, he is saying putting his hand out for Sara to shake.
	Sara takes the Tigers hand yes, I remember.
	I believe Lady Anna is having trouble adjusting to the school.
	How so?
	Well it seams she had an anxiety attack this morning over having to take classes with other students.
	Sara wonders if that is what is actually wrong with her friend. However with all the students watching them with curiosity she figures that she will find out whats wrong later.
	Alright, so what do you want to do? Sara asks figuring she will play along.
	Well, I would like her to come to the medical office if she should begin to have another anxiety attack, Doctor Dashai tells Lady Anna's guardian as he places an arm around Miss Shadow and Lady Anna moving them away from the front of the dinning hall entrance. The guardian seams to agree with him as the black Cat nods her head. I will have one of her roommates with her at all time to make sure she will make it through the day.
	Sara nods her head once again agreeing with what the doctor is saying. Can I have a few minutes with Lady Anna in private? she asks.
	Sure thing, he says with a smile and returns to Dorothy's roommates several feet away giving them some privacy now that the doctor made it so they are no longer the focus of everyones attention.
	Sara looks to the doctor and the roommates making sure they are not trying to listen in on them. When she is satisfied the black Cat turns to her friend.
	Dorothy, are you alright? Sara whispers to her best friend.
	I am now, Dorothy responds with a smile taking the PDA from her pocket and handing it to Sara. The program worked and about nightly five percent of the school is mapped out.
	Sara takes the little computer and slides into her leather jacket. Now, you are sure nothing is wrong? she asks.
	Well I was worried for a while when you seamed to be unable to hear me.
	What do you think is up with that?
	I don't know but this place is creeping me out.
	That's an understatement, have you studied any of the architectures details?
	Not really, Dorothy says and begins looking around to the detailed architecture around her.
	Unlike Sara, Dorothy only sees the continued Furry design that she has seen everywhere else. Sara,  who is as well looking at the Furry molding design, sees more of the figures that she saw while waiting outside the security office. Yet these figurines, though they are same figure, are positioned differentially than the ones at the security office.
	Miss Black, is everything OK over there? the Tiger doctor asks.
	Sara turns to the Tiger. Yes, everything is fine. Just one more minute, she says before turning  back to her friend. Dorothy, your first class is with your old mentor.
	Yes, Mathilda told me that last night.
	See if you can get some alone time with her and hopefully we can put together some of these clues.
	Sure thing. What are you going to do?
	I am going to try schmooze with the principle, she seamed interested in my weapons and maybe I can get her to lower her guard.
	Sure thing, when should we meet up again? Dorothy asks with a hesitation about being separated from her friend once again.
	Sara takes the pocket watch out. Why don't we meet up here at the lunch hour.
	Dorothy opens her purse and tears the lining to get to a cell phone she has hidden there. She glances around and finding no one to close by the Dalmatian turns the phone on and sees the time. 'Four hours,' she says to herself 'can I make it four hours?' Dorothy takes a deep breath. Alright, noon then, she says with a nod.
	If I am not here go immediately to our fall back plan.
	Alright, Dorothy agrees apprehensively.
	Sara places her hands on her friends shoulders. Don't worry, everything will be alright, she says getting a smile from Dorothy.

	While the breakfast smelt good Sara is now on a mission. She slipped away from Dorothy, who rejoined her roommates, and makes her way from the students and faculty. Soon Sara is alone and takes the PDA from her pocket an begins examining the map of the school.

	Dorothy can not believe how good that breakfast was, and how good it made her feel. Her nervous are now steady as she walks into her first class with her two roommates. The Dalmatian feels like she is getting a second chance at high school life and this time she's with the in crowd.
	Alright, everyone take your seats. Class is about to begin, Dorothy hears the teacher say and is immediately brought back to why she is here. Standing at the front of the classroom is her old mentor, slightly older but still having the wonderful beauty that seams to irradiate from her. Class, we are joined by a new student today. the teachers says writing a complex mathematical problem on the board her back to the students. Dorothy recognizes the math problem as being the same mathematical problem she solved all those years ago. As I have told you before I have only ever had one student solve this math problem and since we have a new student I figure I would let her see what she is in for, she finishes saying while at time finishing writing the problem.
	There are several groans from many of the students around Dorothy who in turn looks at the fellow students wondering what is wrong.
	Now we shall see if our newest student can solve this, Miss Poltree says looking down at something on her desk.
	I hate when she gets this way, Mathilda says next to Dorothy.
	Cette professeur est difficile, Dorothy other roommate says.
	Lady Anna, do you think you can solve this problem, Miss Poltree says now looking out at her students searching for her new student.
	Dorothy nearly jumps out of her seat to write the answer. However she pauses before acting. Soon Dorothy realizes that all eyes are on her. They seam to be waiting for her to do something, what it is Dorothy is unsure, she stands there frozen and that is when Miss Poltree sees her.
	The Dalmatian is not sure if her former teacher and mentor recognizes her for it has been many years since the two have seen one another.
	Lady Anna, please come to the front of the class and tell us a little about yourself before trying to solve this problem, the teacher asks.
	Dorothy looks around at the students as they stare at her. She then slowly makes her way to the front of the classroom. The Dalmatian wonders how long it will be before Miss Poltree recognizes her. Soon she stands before the class and Dorothy looks to the teacher, who does not seam to recognize her.
	Go ahead dear, don't be shy, she tells Dorothy.
	Dorothy clears her throat and looks out at all the eyes upon her. She then begins to tell her story that she and Sara came up.

	Sara looks at the PDA and then around the hallway she is standing in. It looks like all the other halls in the school except that the PDA is relaying to her that there should be a passage leading downward but she does not seam to be able to find it. She looks at the wall and runs her hand over it where a passage way should be  but she can not find a seam that would reveal where a doorway should be. Sara takes her gun  from the holster and begins tapping the wall with the butt end. After doing this several times she wonders if perhaps Dorothy's program is wrong. She did mention, after all, that there is a five percent chance that there could be errors in the program. Sara steps back from the wall so that she might get in a fuller picture holding the PDA up in front of her she realizes that she still has the bracelet on. How she could forget something like this Sara is not sure of.
	'Maybe there is something to do with the bracelet that is making it so I can not find the doorway,' Sara says to herself.
	Alright, time to get rid of you once and for all, she says out load putting her gun down on a table in the hallway and flips out the switchblade.

	The class applauds when Dorothy finishes telling the class her made up story. It is a thrilling applause that she did not expect.
	That is just so tragic, lisabeth calls out from the back row causing the class to look at her as she wipes her eyes with the back of her hands.
	For a moment Dorothy is relieved to have the spot light off her.
	Alright, now Lady Anna can you solve this problem I wrote on the board, Miss Poltree says truly looking at her new student for the first time. 
	Miss Poltree becomes deathly silent as she stares at Dorothy as the Dalmatian does the same back toward her former mentor.
	You look similar to a student I had many years ago, the teacher says softly.
	Dorothy looks at her mentor and gets a sick twisted feeling deep in her stomach like something awful is about to happen, she grips her stomach.
	Dorothy, Miss Poltree says even softer.
	Dorothy feels like she is going to be sick and one of her roommates notices.
	Lady Anna are you alright? Mathilda calls from the back row.
	Dorothy turns to find Mathilda standing and the nervous Dalmatian realizes that she has to get a grip or her roommate may take her to the doctors office. She considers how to keep her cover and comes to the realization that she may not get another chance. So taking a deep breath Dorothy looks at Mathilda.
	I am alright, Dorothy says with a grin watching Mathilda sit down. Next Dorothy turns to her teacher. I am afraid you have mistaken me with someone else, she tell the teacher.
	Alright then, Miss Poltree says not quit convinced. Then can you solve the equation?
	Dorothy looks at the equation knowing full well what the answer is, being Miss Poltree's only student to have solved it.
	I'm sorry I do not think I can answer it, Dorothy says and with her back to the class she winks at the teacher.
	Judith Poltree's mouth drops open as she realizes that the young woman before her just might be indeed her old student Dorothy MacMillan. Yet the woman before her is going by the name Lady Anna. She watches the Dalmatian return to her desk. Many different thoughts race through her and none of them make sense.
	Miss Poltree, a student says in front of her.
	Judith looks down at the long floppy eared Rabbit in the front row.
	Are we going to do anything?
	Judith Poltree blinks at the students and her trance is broken. Right, we will continue with the fractal equations I discussed in our last class.
	The class groans as the sound of papers being shuffled and books opening as the teacher begins teaching her class at last. Still, while explaining the math problems she keeps looking at the Dalmatian in the back row.
	Before she knows it the class is coming to an end and Dorothy has got to come up with some excuse to be alone with Judith. Just as Dorothy is about to raise her hand the teacher begins speaking.
	Alright class, as we are nearly at the end why don't I let you go a little early today, Judith says. This gets a pleasant surprise of chatter from the class as the students quickly begin putting their supplies into their book bags.
	This is so odd, lisabeth says.
	Hey don't complain, a student near the Poodle responds.
	Yes, lets just try and get out of here before she assigns homework, chimes another student.
	Dorothy finishes putting her supplies away and figures this is as good of time  as ever to talk to Judith.
	Come on Lady Anna, lets get out of here, Dorothy 's French roommate says taking ahold of her arm.
	Dorothy looks at her roommate as she is being pulled to the door the classroom as all the students are scrambling to get out the classroom door.
	Excuse me, Miss Poltree calls out causing the remaining students to look back at her. I would like to speak with Lady Anna for a moment, she adds.
	There is a roar of oohs and ahhs from the students around Dorothy. Her two roommates looking at her in wonder as they try to figure out what the  teacher could want with the schools newest student, especial considering that this is her first class of her first day.
	We will wait for you, lisabeth chimes with her sweet French accent.
	Dorothy looks to her old mentor and then back to the roommates. No, you go ahead to the next class, she tells the two of them.
	lisabeth and Mathilda look at one another.
	Your sure? Mathilda asks.
	Dorothy nods her head yes and watches the two roommates to be the last to leave. Once the door closes behind them she goes to the front of the class room.
	Lady Anna, I just ha[[en to be looking over your record and according to them you should have at least been able to attempt the math problem, Miss Poltree says.
	To tell you the truth, I already solved it, Dorothy says.
	Judith stares at the Dalmatian in the utter confusion.
	Actually I solved it many years ago, Dorothy adds.
	Judith Poltree stares even deeper at Dorothy. It is you, she says. Dorothy nods her head affirmative. By the creator I thought I was going crazy.
	That is still to be determined, Dorothy says.
	The two woman embrace in a huge like two old friends who have not see one another in many, many years.
	It has been years since I've seen you, Judith says.
	You are looking good, Dorothy says.
	What in the world are you doing here? Judith asks now looking upon Dorothy as one of her most prized former students.
	I got your letter, Dorothy says.
	Judith looks at her oddly what letter? she asks.
	The one you sent with the secret writing on it, Dorothy says still happy to not have to pretend to be someone else.
	I don't know what you are talking about.
	And just like that Dorothy suddenly feels ill. If her mentor did not send the letter then ...

	Sara cuts the plastic bracelet off her wrist with a swift cut of the knife causing her a sharp tingling sensation. The plastic bracelet falls to the floor no longer glowing green. With the bracelet no longer glowing Sara's ears twitch when the sound of stones rubbing against one another. She snatches her gun from the table turning to aim it at the location of where a hidden passage is being revealed.
	Sara sees the flying darts and makes to move out the way only to be hit by a second set of darts and a sharp blast of electricity that cause all her muscles to spasm for several seconds. Just as the electrical shock stops the black Cat makes a move against the person who shoot her with a taser only to have her muscles spasm from a second electrical shock causing her drop to knee. As she is about to get to her feet a third set of darts hit her and she can longer stand.
	Sara drops her gun and falls to the floor in excruciating pain for which she has not felt in ages.
	Barely conscious Sara can hear people talking around her as though they are far away until she finally  blacks out.
