Beth looks at Rick who looked weak. He looked like he was having a hard time breathing.
"Rick are you okay ?" Beth asked.
"I'm okay... my chest just hurts" Rick admits.
Rick was still chained to the wall while Beth was tied to a chair.
"We need to get out of here or you'll die" Beth said.
"I need my hourglass it'll heal me" Rick said weakly.
"How do I get it ?" Beth asked.
"Last time I saw it was being guarded by the ISA's big muscal" Rick said.
"Who ?" Beth asked.
"Solomon Grundy" Rick said.
"I can't fight Rick" Beth said.
"It's okay Beth when we get out of here I'll teach you" Rick said with a smile.
"Really?" Beth asked with hope in her voice.
Rick gives her a nod before wincing in pain.
Beth looks at him before struggling against the ropes. The chairs falls with thump. Beth now on the ground contuines to struggle against the ropes.
"Beth try to relax your arms" Rick tells her.
Beth relaxs her arms and slips out of the ropes.
"It worked" Beth said.
"That's great Beth" Rick said.
Beth runs up to Rick and tugs on the chains.
"It's no use Beth we need to break the chains" Rick said.
"Okay I'll find a key" Beth said.
"I would need the hourglass to break theses chains" Rick said.
"I can get the hourglass but I need to get the cell door open" Beth said.
Artemis opens the cell door.
"Hey I brought you guys some food" Artemis said.
"Artemis you have to let me pass" Beth said.
"Yeah sure I'll let you go" Artemis said.
"Really? thank you" Beth said thankful as she hugs Artemis.
"No problem just tell anyone I'll let you go" Artemis said.
"You got it ! Can you tell me where's the hourglass?" Beth asked.
"It's in the hallway where Solomon Grundy is guarding it" Artemis said.
"Thanks Artemis" Beth said as she runs out of the cell.
"Why are you helping us ?" Rick asked.
"I'm not a big guy like my parents" Artemis said.
Rick dosen't say anything.
*************************************
Beth sneaks into the hall to see Solomon Grundy. He was asleep and the hourglass was hanging on a hook. Beth careful tips toes around Grundy and makes her way towards the hourglass. She quietly grabs the hourglass and quickly goes back to the cell.
Beth sees Rick and runs up to with the hourglass in hand. Rick looks at her and smiles.
"You got it !" Rick said.
"How does this work?" Beth asked.
"Put the hourglass around my neck and turn it over" Rick explains.
Beth puts the hourglass around his neck and turns it over. Rick starts glow a bright gold. Beth watches as Rick breaks the chains that held him to the wall.
"Rick how do you feel ?" Beth asked.
"I feel my chest healing" Rick replies as he grabs Beth's hand.
"What do we do now ?" Beth asked.
"I have to find out what the ISA is planning so I have to stay" Rick replies.
"I'm with you" Beth said with a grin.
Rick smiles at her as he puts on his hood and mask.
"Alright let's go before they find out that we escaped" Rick said.
Beth nods as she follows Rick away from the cell.
"Do you think this lair has a phone ?" Beth asked.
