"I'm sorry," the chameleon said, choking. "I didn't mean to hurt anyone. The doctor. . . . she saw who I was. And Audrey . . . I was weakening." She wheezed, struggling to breathe. "And I thought she could help me. Like Lucy."
Duke was shaking faintly. Audrey was gone, and this thing had taken her place. He hadn't known her long, but when he'd been stuck here for that month, she'd been one who'd been there. All those late nights in the hotel when he couldn't sleep. When he'd grieved for Geoff.

"If you thought she could help," he said, grinding the words out through his teeth. "Why did you kill her?"
"She's different," the chameleon said. "She sh-should have died. . . ."
Nathan's eyes went wide. "She's alive?" He grabbed the chameleon, shaking her. "Where is she? Where is she?!"
