this.”
    She handed Joe her elevator card and grabbed the earring
from her ear. It looked like she was squeezing it but when she opened her
hand Joe saw a shiny curved knife there, not an earring. She took it and
sliced through the ropes cleanly as if she were using a katana and when she was
done the knife turned back into a little earring and she put it back on her
ear. Joe couldn’t believe that he wasn’t dreaming right now. The
woman tried shaking the girl awake, but to no avail. She looked over
towards the back row of lockers and only saw one that was lockless.
    Beauty: “Okay, I need you to listen very carefully,
Joe. A group of those guys that were shooting at me earlier are going to
arrive here any minute now. I need you to do a few things for me.
Starting off, I need you to hurry and tie me up.”
    She lifted the girl off of the chair that she was sitting on
and gently placed her on the floor.
    Joe: “But I—”
    Beauty: “No time to explain, Joe. Just do as I
say. I’ll be just fine.”
    Joe nodded his head and waited for further orders.
Beauty picked up the rope that had bound the blonde girl and handed it to
Joe. Joe was shocked to find that the rope had none of the cuts on it
that Beauty had made earlier, but he decided not to linger on that thought.
    Beauty: “Make sure you do that nice and tight, country
boy. Knot it good. Once you finish that, I want you to pick up
Sleeping Beauty and head straight to that locker over there — I’m staring right
at it — and hide. Once the room clears out, I want you to wait a few
minutes — at least until you don’t hear any more voices — and then I want you
to escape with her.”
    Joe: “Who is she?”
    Beauty: “She’s important. I need her alive, and if
anything happens to her I’m going to find you and besmirch you.”
    Joe: “Besmirch?”
    Beauty: “Now go. Hurry, we have no time. Make
sure you stay hidden.”
    Joe grabbed the mystery blonde and walked himself and the girl
to the only locker that he saw without a lock. He opened the locker and
saw nothing but a Pantera t-shirt inside. He lifted the cute blonde up
and placed her inside first. She kept falling to the bottom of the
locker, so he leaned her up and propped her at an angle.
    Beauty: “Hurry up!”
    Joe hastily draped his legs over the girl’s slumbering body
and squeezed in as best he could. It was definitely a tight fit, and it
was definitely uncomfortable. He could feel the girl’s tiny breaths on
his chest, and could feel the weight and warmth of her body against his
belly. The only girl he had ever been this close with was Kate. He
peered out through the slits of the locker and nearly dropped his jaw.
Where Beauty had sat before, there was now another blonde girl. No … the
same blonde girl, but that was impossible. Joe looked down again at his
locker mate and examined her face. He then looked at the girl in the
chair and saw that they were identical right down to the bruises they shared.
    This was madness. More importantly, where was
Beauty? Joe had only looked away for a few seconds and had lost
her. Wait, something was off , he thought. The clothes didn’t
match up. The girls wore completely different outfits. That’s when
he saw it. Before his eyes, the blonde in the chair’s outfit changed from
the one that Beauty had worn to the same blue security outfit that his locker
mate was wearing. It was then that he knew.
    Joe: “She isn't like us.”
