Mr. Copycat calmly walked through the door and into the secretary's office.
Sitting at the desk was the near spitting image of Ms. Dopple. There were several differences, though. This woman had her hair up in a bun, and was wearing glasses, and her hair had more grey in it than Ms. Dopple's did. She looked up from a magazine she was reading when Mr. Copycat walked in.
"Good morning, Gertrude." Mr. Copycat said.
"Hello Connor," Ms. Mirror responded.
"Have to say, I didn't expect you to be a secretary."

Ms. Mirror looked past Mr. Copycat at the group he had brought.
"What's with the little entourage?" she asked.
"You should know." Mr. Copycat said, his face turning stern.
"Oh really?" Ms. Mirror said. She was playing around with a pen as she talked.
"Where's your sister?"
"Why do you want to know?"

"Oh we just want to talk to her." Rose explained.

"Hmph. I don't help sentients. I can talk to the failure, but not you all," Ms. Mirror said.
"Gertrude, they're--"
"The rest of you, leave, if you want your info that badly. Tut tut." She clapped her hands impatiently.

"Do it." Something whispered in Roses ear.
"Every one out." Rose and the two dragons that entered exited the room.

Once the door closed, Mr. Copycat turned back to Ms. Mirror. At least they should be able to hear what was going on through the door.
"My sister ran off to Bonsai Village, like you thought."
"How did you--"
"That's not important. What is important is that syringe you took from me."
"So you've been impersonating her after all."
"But of course, you little failure." Ms. Mirror said teasingly. Her features suddenly shifted to that of Ms. Dopple before turning back. "But, anyways, that syringe."
"How did you break into my apartment?! I had a canary on guard and everything!"
"I didn't. I made that syringe out of the same material our bodies are. Don't you get it? You absorbed it into your body."
There was a thump as the cane dropped to the floor. Mr. Copycat had grabbed Ms. Mirror by the collar.
"Violence? How unlike you, Mr. Copycat!" Ms. Mirror said infuratingly.

Rose was listening and a shadow under the desk Moon was in there.

"Wh-what's going on?" Langy asked quite frightened after hearing something drop.

Mr. Copycat was visibly infuriated.
"I honestly don't see why you're so mad, Mr. Copycat. Thanks to that formula, your morphing problems are fixed now! Look, you're even standing without your cane!" Ms. Mirror said in faux happiness.
"What the hell is it going to do me?!" Mr. Copycat yelled.
"Inside voices, please!" Ms. Mirror said. "And since you're so curious, it will wipe away any thought. Any personality. Any history. You'll start over as a blank slate, to be raised into a superior doppelganger like us. Oh, sure, there'll be side effects, like a cough and pain at first, but you'll forget all of those eventually."
Mr. Copycat threw Ms. Mirror to the ground and gave her a look of absolute contempt.
"You're a horrible monster," Mr. Copycat said through a clenched jaw.
"We all are, Mr. Copycat," Ms. Mirror said. She picked herself off the ground and climbed back into her desk. Mr. Copycat picked his cane up and turned to leave.
"How... how long do I have?" he said after a moment's silence.
"Until everything is gone? I'd give it a week at most. Enjoy your time with the sentients while you can."
"What about an antidote?"
"Mr. Copycat, I am not an idiot. Do you honestly think I am just going to tell you where I am keeping the antidote to my formula? If you are that curious, find a witch or something," Ms. Mirror said as she straightened out some papers. "Now leave before I call security."
"Fine then. Goodbye Gertrude." Mr. Copycat said, and left the room.

"So we need to figure out where the antidote is." Rose sighed.
Moon remained hidden with his shadow walk, hopeing that Ms. mirror would say something useful.

"What's going on?" Langy asked them ever so frightened by hearing Mr. Copycat yell.
