Margaret and Casey stood motionless, exchanging terrified glances.

What can we do? Margaret wondered silently, realizing that her entire body was trembling.

"That's not your father!" Dr. Brewer with the Dodgers cap cried again, moving into the room. "He's a copy. A plant copy. One of my experiments that went wrong. I locked him in the supply closet because he's dangerous."
查看中文翻译
"What have we done?" Margaret asked her brother in a low voice.
查看中文翻译
"Put down the axe. You're not fooling anyone," the other Dr. Brewer said.
查看中文翻译
"He has to be destroyed!" the axe-wielding Dr. Brewer shouted, staring at his look-alike across the room.
查看中文翻译
"I -- I don't know what to do," Casey managed to whisper.
查看中文翻译
Beside them, plants quivered and shook, sighing loudly. Tendrils slithered across the dirt. Leaves shimmered and whispered.
查看中文翻译
"Kids -- what have you done?" Mrs. Brewer cried, her hands pressed against her cheeks, her eyes wide with disbelief.
查看中文翻译
Staring wide-eyed from one man to the other, Casey seemed too frightened to reply.
查看中文翻译
"You're the copy!" the other Dr. Brewer accused, and raised the axe again.

And then… us!
查看中文翻译
"Thank goodness!" Dr. Brewer with the Dodgers cap exclaimed. "We've got to get him back in the closet. He's very dangerous." He stepped up to Margaret. "Give me the axe."
查看中文翻译
Margaret pulled back and swung the axe. "Stay back. Everyone, stay back."
查看中文翻译
What can I do?
查看中文翻译
Dad would never act like this, Margaret realized. Casey and I were idiots. We let him out of the closet. And now he's going to kill our real dad. And mom.
查看中文翻译
"Margaret -- wait!" her mother cried, still too frightened to move from the doorway.
查看中文翻译
Uttering a desperate cry of protest, Margaret leapt forward and grabbed the axe from the imposter's hands.
查看中文翻译
What can I do? she wondered, trying to think clearly even though her mind was whirring wildly out of control.
查看中文翻译
He gaped in surprise as she steadied her grip on the handle. It was heavier than she'd imagined. "Get back!" she screamed. "Get back -- now!"
查看中文翻译
"You have to be destroyed!" Dr. Brewer with no cap repeated, his eyes wild, his face scarlet, moving closer, the axe gleaming as if electrified under the white light.
查看中文翻译
The capless Dr. Brewer reached for the axe. "Give it back to me! You don't know what you're doing!" he pleaded, and made a wild grab for it.

Her eyes darting back and forth from one to the other, she saw that each of them had a bandage around his right hand. And it gave her an idea.
查看中文翻译
Which one is my real dad?
查看中文翻译
"Casey, there's a knife on the wall over there," she said, still holding the axe poised. "Get it for me -- fast!"
查看中文翻译
"Get back!" she repeated, desperately trying to decide what to do.
查看中文翻译
Does this mean that the Dad in the closet is my real dad?
查看中文翻译
"Princess -- don't do it," the capless Dr. Brewer said softly, staring into Margaret's eyes.
查看中文翻译
"I'm warning you," Dr. Brewer in the cap said. "He's dangerous. Listen to me, Margaret."
查看中文翻译
Margaret backed away and swung the axe again.
查看中文翻译
Margaret hesitated.
查看中文翻译
The other one never had.
查看中文翻译
He called me Princess, Margaret realized.
查看中文翻译
"Give me the axe," he insisted.
查看中文翻译
"Get back! Both of you -- stay back!" she warned.
查看中文翻译
Mrs. Brewer shrugged helplessly. "I -- I don't know."
查看中文翻译
Margaret turned to her mother. "What should I do?"
查看中文翻译
Which one? Which one? Which one?
查看中文翻译
"Margaret -- give me the axe." The one in the cap made a grab for it.

Casey obediently hurried to the wall. It took him a short while to find the knife among all the tools hanging there. He reached up on tiptoes to pull it down, then hurried back to Margaret with it.
查看中文翻译
Margaret lowered the axe and took the long-bladed knife from him.
查看中文翻译
"Margaret -- give me the axe," the man in the Dodgers cap insisted impatiently.
查看中文翻译
"Margaret, what are you doing?" the man from the supply closet asked, suddenly looking frightened.
查看中文翻译
"I -- I have an idea," Margaret said hesitantly.
查看中文翻译
She took a deep breath.
查看中文翻译
Then she stepped over to the man from the supply closet and pushed the knife blade into his arm.
