They were only just in time, for as the rock rolled closed eyes fluttered awake around the Veins, and Jack muttered and stirred as Garth and Joseph stood watching them silently.

“What?” Jack grumbled as he slowly rose to his feet. The other two guards and the sentry were also stumbling and yawning their way to their feet.

“We’re waiting for you to take us to Section 205,” Joseph said pleasantly. Garth had related an amazing tale in the two hours since the three monks had left with Maximilian, and Joseph had questioned his son closely. Joseph was proud of his son, although that pride was mixed with lingering resentment that Garth had not told him earlier, but he wondered if they would all live to enjoy the fruits of their adventure. Whoever had incarcerated Maximilian down here was not going to be pleased when he found out that the prince had escaped.

“Section 205?” Jack frowned, then his face cleared. “Oh, yes, of course. The fungus. Come on, then.”

And without another word he marched down the tunnel.

Joseph and Garth hurried after him, trying to look as if this was not the second time they had hurried down this tunnel today, and behind them came the two guards still rubbing sleep and confusion out of their eyes.

Apparently, none of the guards remembered that an extra three guards had come down in the cage with them.

Part-way back to Section 205 they met one of the gang’s guards, his face alive with alarm.

“One of the prisoners has escaped!” he gasped, and Jack turned and bellowed down the tunnel.

“Sound the alarm!”

Above, warned by some guilty instinct, Furst’s head leaped from his desk in mid-snore and he stared wildly about his office.
