Devry turned and walked away.

Aleco and Accacia waited for Devry to return. Aleco had his arms wrapped around her as she leaned against his chest. He could feel her frantic heartbeat thud in her petite frame, and knew how frightened she was. “We are going to make it,” he said as he kissed her on the head. She squeezed his arm in reply, too anxious to speak.

Devry returned an hour later and approached their cell. He looked down the hallway behind him before he pulled two sawing knives from his robe. He handed them through the bars.

“Good luck,” he whispered.

Aleco nodded.

After Devry left, Aleco and Accacia began sawing through the metal bars of the cell. They had to carve through the steel slowly because of the noise it made when the blade cut the metal. Twice they had to stop and stow the tools out of sight when Robinson walked down the hallway. After he disappeared around the corner, they continued to hack through the cage until the doorway was completely severed from the bars. Aleco returned the door back to its frame and it deceptively appeared intact.

“After we take Robinson out, we’ll hide his body and leave the building.”

“His body?”

“Yes,” he said. “We have to kill him.”

“No.” The flames in her green eyes roared into an inferno. “I refuse to do that.”

“You won’t have to,” he growled. “I’ll do it.”

“No,” she repeated as she grabbed his arm. “If you kill him, I’m not going with you.”

“Accacia, he might mention Devry. It has to be done.”

She walked back to the cage and opened the door.

“Damn you, Accacia,” he snarled. “Fine, I’ll knock him out.”

She smiled. “Thank you.”

The pair crept down the hallway and rounded the corner. Robinson was seated at his desk, smoking a new pipe when he spotted Aleco enter the room. His eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected entrance, and then he saw Accacia trail behind him. “We are so sorry about this,” she apologized in advance.

Aleco ran to him and punched him in the side of his head. He immediately dropped to the floor and his eyelids fell shut. Aleco carried him down the hall and deposited his body in their unoccupied cell.

Aleco withdrew one of the sawing blades and handed it to Accacia. “Don’t be afraid to use this,” he commanded. “Aim for the vein in the neck.” He pointed to the artery on his own throat for demonstration.

Her face contorted in disgust. “Only if I have no choice,” she said.

Aleco rolled his eyes. “Let’s go.”

They found the black capes hidden in the back of the building and adorned themselves with the attire. Aleco fitted Accacia’s mask over her face and tucked the silky strands of her brunette locks beneath the fabric. They walked through the Vast together, crossed the bridge, and entered the tunnel they arrived through. Aleco knew it wouldn’t be long before someone discovered what happened. The watch was changing soon.

Accacia followed Aleco as they traveled through the various underground tunnels until they approached an opening.
