CHAPTER 8

Jake refused to panic. He backed up and made a running leap across the gap. His body slammed into the rocky roofline on the other side, but at least he was safe. Dair grabbed his arm and lifted him to his feet.

Jake never looked back. He didn’t hear the giant anymore. Did the monster man not make the jump?

“Dair, I’ve got to take care of these,” Jake said, holding up the money bags.

“Okay, but we have to move quickly. That guard in the vault—Vi—let us escape. Ka’nah will send more men to hunt us down. And trust me, we don’t want to get caught.”

Dair led Jake across a few more rooftops and down a handful of winding stone stairways until they had successfully escaped the compound. Jake saw the man whom he had taken the money from, sitting in the dirt in front of the same stone structure.

“Here’s what I took, plus interest.” Jake put both bags in front of the man. “Forgive me, but it helped me find my friend. Thank you.”

The man yelled something Jake couldn’t understand, but as he picked up both money bags, the anger in his voice faded.

Dair urged Jake to move.

Jake left the man to his money and took off after Dair. When they came to the city gate, Dair stopped.

“It’s late, and you need rest. I’ll keep watch while you sleep, and then you can do the same for me.”

Jake looked around. They were in the wide-open entryway to the city. It was the same part of town where Jake had first seen his new friend. “Can we go to your house?”

“Not yet. That’s the first place Ka’nah will check for us. We’ll hide here in the open. You have to trust me. Get some rest, and we’ll come up with a plan to rescue Levi.”

Jake nodded. He sat down against the stone wall and tried closing his eyes. At some point sleep took over, and Jake let it.
