Rachael eye's twinkle as she looks at the mouse again.
She goes to the stove, grabs the trap under it and turns it over
to the listing of the stuff in the glue.
"So what's your big idea?" asks Sean impatiently, sarcasm
icing his words.
"Huh?" she shakes herself away from her thoughts.
"Well, I think I know a way to dilute this glue and get it to come off.
Then we could just let the mouse go outside."
"Oh so I went through all this trouble just to see it
come back again, did I?" He asks.
"I think after all you've put it through it'd rather
die than come back. Come on Sean, look really really deep inside. You think
you might find some tiny inkling of compassion? I mean.."
"The skills of the material scientist. Rache, I see you're
learning something in this school." Joey interrupts,
hoping to avoid an argument between the two. "Great idea. Wonderful. Now
let's just do something practical, shall we?"
Sean ignores them, a mischievous
gleam in his eye.
"Come on guys it's worth a shot.."
Rachael insists. "What the hell did that mouse ever do to you anyway?
I'll just go get some of that stuff from Jamie. He's doing his project
and "borrowed" some chemicals from lab." She looks at Sean who,for the
sake of salvaging his reputation,. nods his agreement.
"I'll go check if he has what we need." she says enthusiastically,
already halfway out the door lest Sean change his mind.
"Hey Joey, you think that might might work? it'd
be pretty cool to see." Making sure that Rachael is out of earshot, he
adds "Hehe, the chemicals might react with the fur and stuff too."
"Shut up Sean." Joey replies, bored
with the whole thing.
