A Secret Hideout

“Follow me. Quickly,” said the man who had saved them.

Able to move freely now, Toby looked at Mr. Kirby face up on the floor. The vase that had rendered him unconscious was lying next to him, broken. Toby took his opportunity and kicked Kirby in the ribs.

“Toby!” called Wesa from across the room.

“What? He deserved it.” Toby felt justified in his actions. In fact he felt good kicking Kirby and wanted to do it again.

“Come on, you two. Hurry,” called Thatch from the other side of the curtain.

Toby stepped into the main hall, trying as hard as he could to calm his beating heart and smile naturally so as not to alert the magicians watching the video surveillance on the many televisions. Luckily, their eyes were glued to the screens.

Despite his severe limp, the man who had saved them moved through the crowd with precision and grace. Toby hadn’t caught a proper look at their savior. His long black cloak concealed him.

Toby couldn’t get Mr. Kirby’s words out of his mind. “I enjoyed killing your father.” If his parents were alive, Kirby didn’t seem to know it.

He sped up as Wesa and Thatch disappeared into the crowd in front of him. Everything around him was moving in slow motion. The words “killing your father” rang in his head over and over again like a broken record. He felt like the floating candles above him were descending on him. He couldn’t breathe. The crowd seemed to rush at him. His head throbbed with intensity as the blood rushed to it. And for the third time that day, he fell unconscious to the floor.
