Alice shows us where the 187O-V15 Cure is. She leads us through twisting hallways, occasionally turning into a Liepard to glance around the corner.
We crowd into the room, which is small and filled with shelves and shelves of unidentifiable things.
The shelf labeled "187O-V15 Cure" is empty, the birch wood bare.
"There was some when I was here...!" Alice says, clearly astonished.
"You're a pretty good actor," Brandon growls, grabbing her collar and pushing her up the wall. "You knew there was only one, didn't you? You lied to us, you freaking spy."
"What? I would never spy for Team Rocket!" she says, struggling against him.
"Brandon," Serena says. "They probably stole it to create tension between us."
"That's what she wants us to think," he says, glaring holes through Alice.
"Please, Brandon, believe me!" she cries.
I place my hand on Brandon's shoulder. "I thought you said before that she would never spy for them because she's loyal to Team Plasma."
"She's a cat, what's more, the Cruel Pokémon. I should've never have trusted her."
"Brandon," Samantha says quietly. "I know she isn't the spy. I do know who is. They told me."
Serena gives her a look.
"It's her," she says, pointing to me.
"What?!" Brandon yells, dropping Alice and turning on me. He pulls on my long black ear.
I yelp in pain, pulling away. A quick look of regret flashes across his face before he slams me against the wall behind me.
"I trusted you," he growls, angry tears threatening to show themselves.
"I'm not the spy! I have no idea what she's talking about!!" I yell, whimpering like an injured dog.
"They brainwashed the spy. If you were you wouldn't know it. They wanted you to be as convincing as possible."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Brandon snarls. "I could've taken care of her before she did too much damage."
"Calm down!" Fionna says. "She isn't the spy! Why would she agree to it?"
"I don't know, ask her," Brandon growls, shoving me towards the Lucario.
I feel tears rise up. "I don't know what they're talking about!" I cry. "I would never spy for Team Rocket!"
"Come here," Fionna says. I walk towards her. She leans to my ear, as if telling me a secret. "I don't believe you," she whispers.
I feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I look down as she withdraws her spiked paw from my abdomen.

I'm sorry it's late and bad, I lost inspiration and it's just blegh. I seriously apologize since this is cruddy, I wanted to get it out to you. I'll make the next chapter extra-long, okay :)
