"OK" Madame began, after a frustrating hour of searching "I think we can learn two things here. The first is that the scent has been very carefully scrubbed. That indicates that an animal change was part of what happened. Humans don't have the sensitivity to smell to do this this carefully. The other thing is that this place was cleaned up by someone who knew what he was doing. There's almost nothing to go on, and most people leave leads. That says to me that your husband and his partner were working with them by this point."
"Frank would never do that!" Julie answered.
"Mind control is very common in these transformations." Madame answered. Madame did not tell Julie that was also common in a multiple transformation was a male building a harem.
"Well, what do we do now?" Julie asked. She felt more confidence in this fortune teller with her bizarre personal history than she did in the cops or FBI--at least Madame Serenity seemed like she was trying to do something.
Madame Serenity reached into her bag and pulled out a set of headphones. "These block sound. No one can Transform or Dare you while you have them on. That's why the deaf are immune to transform. We're going to go pick up your kids, and you're going to go hole up in a motel outside of town for a few days. Tomorrow I'll talk to the Perkins's school and workplace, and see if Trev and I can spot any recent animal transforms with good senses of smell around here. Don't answer your phone until you're well out of town. Got it?"
Julie nodded, and put on the headphones. The world turned silent.
