A Wrinkle in the Plan

It was not really much of a plan, I admitted. To myself, that is. Not aloud to anyone else.

Dermot gave me that I’m not so sure that’s a great idea look. My father laughed. And neither of our crossbow-toting pals reacted in a way that indicated a yay or a nay.

“It does look like the only way in,” Dermot said. “The problem with that is it will be the most heavily defended point of entrance.”

“Well, I did watch a helicopter take off and land, going through this force-field thingy that surrounds the area.” Forcefield thingy? You’d think I would have learned better assassin speak. But I wasn’t a big fan of military things. “I’m assuming you don’t have a helicopter in your back pocket.”

Dermot shook his head.

“We could cling to the bottom of the cable car.” I pointed at Derek and Stephanie. “These two seem to be rather adept at sneaking. . .”

“It’s called stealth skills,” Stephanie said. I noticed she’d brought her bow up an inch or two. I hoped it wasn’t on purpose.

“Yes, that’s what I meant,” I said. “So it is possible for us to enter stealthily.”

“Well, it’s possible. Of course,” Derek said. He had a look of determination and humor in his eyes. “I’ve done crazier things that required more skill. But I’ve never snuck into a fortress on a cable car. It might be fun.”

“So it’s settled,” I said. “We go up that way. Sneak—I mean, use our stealth skills—to find my mother. Then we stealth our way back out.”

“It is a rather large compound.” Dermot was looking from one side of the fortress to the other. “It shouldn’t take much longer than a few weeks to search it. Hope you brought some granola bars.”

Apparently, he was healthy enough for sarcasm.

“Point taken,” I said. “You have any suggestions?”

“Well. . .” He pulled his phone out of his pocket. “I'll download the schematics for the original Neuschwanstein Castle. We can assume it follows the same pattern. That’ll give us a helping hand.” He tapped at a few buttons. “There.” He took a moment to flip through the images. “By the way, have you checked Elysium recently?” he asked.

I shook my head and got my own phone out. We were beginning to look like a table of teenagers texting each other. But I was able to access the dark web and clicked my way to Elysium. A message was waiting for me.

S.O.S., it said. It had been left only five minutes earlier.

Agnes?

There was five-second wait, then: They didn’t find my phone. In prison cell. Low battery.

That seemed incredibly amateurish for them not to search her. And I didn’t want to ask exactly how she’d hidden it. Or maybe she looked so innocent they decided not to do a proper pat down.

Where are you? I asked.

In cell block. East dungeon.

There’s an actual dungeon?

Yes. My prison cell # is 9000. Your mother’s cell is here. Very close. I can show you.

Dermot was looking over my shoulder.
