The chief showed some photos from Tuba's reflection.

–This is the last place where our spy's saw it. Probably it still hiding there.

​

Simon Flec and his partner has given handcuffs and sander guns.

​

–You will search it –said the chief –Corner it and execute it. Don't fail us.

​

–Will not, sir –said Simon Flec.

​

–Don't worry chief –said the partner –will take down that sliver more early than you think.

​

They drive in a patrol vehicle on the mirror world until the car coordinates where localice Tuba's reflection. They was listening to Tarzan boy from Baltimora on the radio.

​

–Dude, I thought you would doubt it about this –said his partner.

​

–I'm fine –replied Simon Flec –the chief said killed an agent. That makes h… it a dangerous fugitive. This is different about the Tuba incident. Will find it, and will stop it before harm another one. And we'll be in the special forces.

​

–Ok dude. I follow you –replied his partner.

​

Some hours later. They find the car place and cross out in a car bridge reflection. They appear over the bridge.

​

–This is the car? –asked the partner.

​

–Yes –replied Simon Flec –Will get into the door to get out the fugitive view.

​

–Interesting idea –said the partner.

​

They get in the car. The place is a big classic city on black and white. There's classic vehicles on the streets and flying. And the people were traffic signals and other kinds of signals. In a street cross there was a STOP signal with a police hat turning every minute making sound a whistle.

​

"Wow" The place has a good look. Like an old movie. And was narrating everything than I thought. "This is crazy dude!".

​

"How do you do that?" I asked my partner, meanwhile I'm so confused about this place. "Forget this place. We gotta search for the fugitive. Try not to think of anything to be not discovered".

​

"Alright" I said to my Ponytail partner.

​

"Shh. Silence!"

​

"I'm sorry"

​

They walked carefully into the darker zone of the streets. Arrow signals people walk between them.

​

"How are we gonna find it in this place?" I asked my Ponytail partner.

​

"Don't call me Ponytail! Listen. We'll ask if anyone has seen it"

​

"Ok. Let's move on!"

​

They go to the center of the city. They asked some people about the Tuba's reflection. Simon Flec asked to some signals but they wouldn't talk to him. The partner watch a signal with a black hat, and a metal walking stick. And a forbidden sign with a woman's hat.

​

I ask myself where can I get one of these hats… "No, no, no. I must concentrate"

​

"Excuse me. Where can I get someone who can help me?"

​

Asked to a signal with an officer hat. He signed him to the tallest building in the city. Him and his partner go there. In the entrance was a register sign with a little black hat.

​

"Hello. We're searching for someone who can help us to find something" The register signal guy marked with his finger to a list in a notebook what sign someone in the lobby called Samantha?!

​

"You know her?"

​

"No. I mean… I know her because my person knew her. What is she doing here?"

​

In the office low light on the upstairs, Samantha was talking to some business signals

​

"I assure you gentlemen that the construction business will progress more now with the helmets. It was a pleasure doing business with you. You can retire now"

​

A boss sign and a master builder sign left Samantha's office. Then, Simon's Flec and his partner get in the office instantly.

​

"Flec's? What do you want here?"

​

"Who said that? Where are you?"

​

"It's her, dude"

​

"Where? Behind the cat?"

​

"He refers to me over the desk"

​

I was very surprised. "This is a joke?"

​

"If it is, it's one of bad taste"

​

The Cat turns on the lights in the office. On his desk was a typewriter. Several stacked documents and a glass vase with a tulip in it. There was a shelf with books and other objects. Among them a little soldier carved in wood. He looked at the Flecs and recognized Simon face.

​

"Simon? Wait. That means… Oh. I'm really sorry"

​

"It 's okay. Listen. We need you help us to find someone. We're looking for a reflection that escaped our world. We think it's still here".

​

"Oh yeah? And let me guess. You'll delete it when you find it?" The Flec reacted to my question, giving me reason. "Of course. Les habitudes ne sont pas oubliées. What do you expect me to know?"

​

"We thought you might have seen it. Show her the photos".

​

"No one else wants to tell us about it. We were hoping you could tell us if you saw the gorilla"

​

"Gorilla? Don't tell me this is who I think is"

​

"It is. Is the reflection of Tuba"

​

"Oh! He really…"

​

"Yes. Simon did it"

​

"And will you also tell me how he…?"

​

"No"

​

"Well" The place looks familiar. "The hat is wearing is one of the first that we released weeks ago"

​

"You're selling hats to the signals people?"

​

"It has been a prosperous business. They pay me with nuts and bolts. But with it you get very good things here. She must have bought it on the east side of town. That's where we sell the model. It may be hiding there."

​

"Excellent. That's all we need to know. We have to go now.

​

"Thank you so much Ms. Samantha".

​

"Please. Call me The Cat".

​

"Come on. We have to find it"

​

"Adieu señores."

​

"Adieu…"

​

I sigh after this unexpected meeting. "Humans".

​

Simon Flec and his partner goes to the east side. They had been walking for a while looking for clues.

​

"Where can it be? Soon it will be dark, and in this place it will be more difficult see at night"

​

See. A sense that this is against us… "I got it! We will use the narrated thoughts to find it. Be attentive if you hear someone speak".

​

The partner's accent and they walked silently and watched every side. Then they passed a tea restaurant. Across the street was an alley nearby.

​

It can't…

​

"There! Follow me!"

​

Running into the alley, but didn't see anything. Then they hear metal banging and look up. The reflection was going up some stairs towards the roof. When she arrived she began to run. The guys came out of the reflection of a chimney and they began to follow her. Tuba's reflection ran over the roofs heading towards the center of the city. The Flecs continued to follow her. Simon Flec was more agile than his partner at jumping over obstacles on rooftops. His partner was surprised to see him.

​

Tuba's reflection ran to the next street and took flight. Then she took a huge leap. She manages to reach it and grabs hold of a roof. She climbs it and continues running. Simon Flec also began to run faster. He gains momentum and gives a great jump to the other side, but falls into the alley in a dumpster. His partner stops. And instead of jumping he decides to enter towards the reflections of the ceilings. Simon Flec go back to the rooftops in a reflection and the persecution continues.

Tuba's reflection came down from the roof and crossed the street jumping between the cars towards the main building from before. A signal get scared and call the police. So she began to climb up the building towards the top. Simon Flec go back to the rooftops in a reflection and continue. Simon Flec jumped down the street and saw the reflection go up the building. His partner gets out of a car window.

​

"Where did the gorilla go?" I see the silhouette climbing up the building giving me chills.

​

"We can't keep up with that!"

​

"Don't worry. We know where it's going."

​

Tuba's reflection reaches to the top of the building. The wind was blowing hard. Her hat was moving, but she was still on her head with a ribbon. Suddenly; the Flecs come out of a vent. Tuba's reflection sees Simon Flec and freaks out and goes up to the building's antenna. She was stuck.

​

"Please! Let me go!" She said with a woman voice.

​

"Stay where you are! You're under arrest for escaping and killing an agent!"

​

"I didn't do anything to him! He was…"

​

At that moment, planes manned by army plates appear. They surrounded the reflection. Then they shot at the antenna, breaking it.

​

"Look out!" The partner yelled and they backed off.

​

The antenna fell, but Tuba's reflection managed to grab onto the edge of the building. His hat flies off. The Flecs approached carefully. Tuba's reflection slips off the shore. She then looks at Simon Flec surprised. He watched her for a few seconds.

​

"Please"

​

But he was determined to continue and turned on the sander. Tuba's reflection closed her eyes between tears. Simon Flec was about to delete it. But then Tuba's reflection tried to calm down.

​

"Don't be worried baby… don't need to hurry baby… when you're with me…"

​

Simon Flec It stopped instantly. He froze.

​

"Dude! What happen?!"

​

He was getting distraught. Simon Flec began to shake his arm. Screamed and threw the gun. Tuba's reflection gets loose, but Simon's Flec quickly catches her and holds it with all his might.

​

"You deserve to be judged!"

​

His partner grabbed him and pulled them back. They stumble on the floor of the ceiling.

​

Simon Flec observed Tuba's reflection.

​

"I got it!" I handcuffed the creature. We finally made it.

​

The army planes were withdrawing. And the hat finally hits the ground.
