"You know very well who," Megan replied angrily. "Don't play games with me, you animated dustmop.
Where did they take Ramirez?"
"Dustmop?Dustmop? "
"Answer my fucking question!"
"Such language. Is that how your parents raised you? They took him to the doctor, if you must know."
"What doctor?"
"How should I know what doctor? The eye doctor. He hurt his eyes."
"I'm sure," said Megan. "What happened to the albino?"
"What albino?"
"You want I should slam it against the wall a few times?" Rosowitz asked.
"You know very well who," Megan replied angrily. "Don't play games with me, you animated dustmop.

"Oh, leave it alone," Megan said. "It's harmless. The stupid thing is useless, anyway. Come on, let's get
out here. Take that map, it's evidence. We'll check in with Andrews and Stein and find out where they
took Ramirez."
They trooped out of the house and back to their cars. Broom stood with its hands on its hips, or at least
the spot where its hips would have been if it had hips, and sniffed contemptuously, a curious thing for it
do since it did not have a nose.
"Useless! Well! I never!"
Behind it, the suit of armor moved, stepping away from the wall. There was a blinding flash of white light
and Billy stood in its place.
"I'll have to warn the others," he said. "Stay here, Broom."
He teleported.
"So where would I go?" Broom asked the empty room.
"Are they gone?" asked Gomez, peeking out from underneath the sofa.
"Fat lot of help you were!" Broom said.
"I'm outta here," said Gomez, heading toward the door with a slight limp.
"And where areyou going?"
"I've got things to do, Cupcake."
He went out the door.
