waited. It came again, and It was little More than a whisper, but Da low conversation. with effort he made Out what appeared to He inched forward again. Suddenly he halted. Ahead of him he sensedsomething. He put his hand out and felt a line. He didn't move whenhis palm came into contact with it. He waited, listening for an alarm, a sound a voice, anything that would tell him he had alerted whoever had placedthis line across the duct. When silence continued unbroken for a longwhile, he moved his hand back, waiting again. He touched it again, as gently as possible, and ran his finger to theright. He encountered a metal eye, driven into the side of the duct, and there the line was tied. He moved his finger to the left and found anothereyelet, but this time the line was threaded through and ran forward in thedirection he was heading.

He felt over and under the line to make sure there wasn't a secondand when he was satisfied this was the only line across the way, he moved back With little squirming, he got on his back and crawled under thline. When he was past the line, he again got up into his kneeling positionand continued his careful progress.

Soon he saw a dim light ahead and he worked toward it. Again hheard voices and again the conversation was just below his ability to hearit. He-moved slowly forward.

He reached a large catch basin, with a big grating overhead, and abovehim he could hear boots on the stone. From the stench at this end of thePipe, it was obvious the men had been using the catch basin to relievethemselves and didn't have enough water to flush the pipe easily. "What is that?" came a voice from above and Dash froze.It's a baked meat roll. It's got spices and onions, baked into a breadcrust. I got it at the market." "What kind of meat?" Dash moved closer. "Beef What do you think?" "Looks like horse to me.,, "HoW could you tell by looking at it?" "You better let me taste it. Then I can tell." Dash moved around and craned his neck. He could see movement,and a pair of boots. Much of his view was cut off by a chair, near thecatch basin grate, and the man who sat on it. cow, horse, what does it matter?"

"You just want some because you didn't bring anything to eat."i didn't know we'd be spending our lives waiting here."'Maybe the others ran into Some trouble?" "Could be, but orders are clear enough. Wait here.""Did you at least bring some cards?" Dash settled in. Near dawn, Dash lowered himself out of the large pipe at Five Points.found himself disappointed that Trina wasn't waiting. He knew she'dprobably left a moment after he entered the pipe, but he still wished she had lingered. He found that feeling irrational alongside the distress he wasexperiencing over what he had found. Not wishing to stay too long, he hurried through the pipes and backtoward the New Market Jail.
