Chp-19: Out of the Prison

Cady's eyes opened as the cellar door opened. A soldier carrying three books came in. Cady got up and moved towards the soldier. He gave her the books and said, " Your dear sister picked out these books for you." A small smile appeared on Cady's face as she felt safe by the fact that Alexa is here. She asked, " Where is she?", the soldier didn't say a word and walked out of the cellar. Cady kept the books on the bed, took out another piece of paper, and wrote on it in Klingon ' Alexa is here, she has sent me the Powerless trilogy. We have to get out of here, Harry! We have to think of a plan to get out of here..' She passed it through the small gap.

Harry was sitting on the ground when he saw the chit. He quickly picked it up and read it. He thought to himself ' She doesn't know it is impossible to get out here ' Harry sighed and walked towards his bed. He kept the chit under his bed and laid down on it.

Cady sat in her cellar room, thinking about a plan to escape this prison. She got up and walked towards the door and motioned Bob to come in. He came in and said in an irritated tone, " Now what?" Cady sighed and punched him in the stomach. Bob fell to the ground with a loud shriek. Before he could take his gun out, Cady picked it up. She quickly covered his mouth and said, " If you scream again, I'll shoot you! You thought that a girl like me would never know how to fight? Look, I need your help, you are well aware of how bad this place is and I and Harry shouldn't be here. Please help me." Bob thought to himself 'The kid is right...I should help them, at least I'll do one good deed in my life' He got up and groaned as Cady hit him real hard. He said, "Fine, I'll help you, but I would be able to get you out of this prison only." Cady nodded and Bob walked out of the cellar, with Cady following him. He opened Harry's cellar door. Harry got up, with a surprised expression on his face. Cady came from behind Bob and entered the cellar. He asked, "Cady?" she nodded and said, " Bob is going to help us get out of the prison, we'll manage the rest after that, now come on!" Harry got up and the two quickly got out of the cellar. Bob took the gun from Cady's hand and said, " You won't be able to use such a heavy gun." Harry asked, " How did you convince him?" She replied, " I hit him in the stomach and took his gun and threatened him." Harry chuckled ( It was quite funny how a thirteen-year-old knocked off a grown man ). Bob said in a stern tone, " Now you two stop with your little chat and follow me before I change my mind". He walked towards the main door and opened it. Cady and Harry got out of it and stood behind Bob. He whispered, " This place wouldn't have many soldiers, so let's walk quickly out of this gallery". While walking, Cady thought to herself ' He is a Britisher...just as I imagined ' After walking for a few minutes, they came across another door which Bob opened and they were out of the prison, standing in another gallery. Bob said, " Here you are going to find many soldiers, just be careful and there are many hiding places. Can you see that painting?" He pointed towards the painting a few feet in front of them and continued, " Take a right from that painting and then walk until you find a painting of a man holding a huge book. From there take a left and walk until you come across a wooden door. That door will lead you to the garden at the back. You are out of the castle. Walk straight and you will see a metal gate. Open that and you are out!" Bob gave two keys from his pocket to Cady and took out two swords from the sword stand behind him. He gave one to Harry and one to Cady. Harry asked, " Where is the Kings Quandary?" Bob was surprised, he asked, " Why are you asking?" he replied, " Cady's father is there." Cady looked at him and her eyes watered up. She was happy that now she knew where he is, she knows that he is alive, or is he? Bob took out a cylindrical object from his back pocket and handed it to Harry. He said, " Inside this is a map. Follow the directions and you will find the Kings Quandary. Before going there go to ' Miller Sons and Co.' There buy some weapons as Kings Quandary is not a safe place..." Bob sighed and said, " All the best, kiddos" He then went inside the prison again. Cady took a deep breath and looked at Harry, he said, " We can do this...we will do this." They then began their dangerous journey, a journey which could kill them.
