Slim led us to another hole in the wall, where there was maps all over the floor.

"What is this?" Asked Mort.

"This is generations of Tauchs trying to find a way out. Mapping out the corridors for other in case they didn't make it. None of them have, but this map goes the farthest, and it seems trusting."

I was a bit confused.
"And you know all of this because..?"

"My uh, my father used to tell me when I was little that if I was ever to be found in the Böse's lair to go the the bigger hole in the wall, in the corner. I didn't know for sure if it was real, but now that I've been here, and you guys helped me I know it's real."

"Hold up!" Started Mort "so your gonna tell me you didn't even know if this stuff was here?!"

"Um..honestly no."

"What the hell lady?!? We could've been caught! And killed!"

"Well it's here, and we weren't caught so..."

I really didn't wanna hear them argue we had just met.

"Both of you cut it out. If we want a chance of living we gotta go now."

"Your right." Said Slim. "We gotta go now, especially since the locks are off our cages. Alright we're all set to go, I mean we don't have much to take."

Just then Samat staring tugging on her and making whimpering noises. Mort and I just starred at each other confused.

"Noooo, no way. I'm sorry Samat, your gonna have to live without it. There's no way we're gonna get it, I'm so sorry."

"What is it?" I asked

"H-he has this stone that can apparently tell where the Böse is. He wants it."

Mort gave a sympathetic smile
"That is...the most..idiotic thing I've ever heard!"

"Hey leave him alone!"

Ya know I didn't understand how they can argue.

"Well if it's not stupid how did he get caught in the first place?!"

"Well it was me." She said defensively "He did warn me it was near by, but I thought he was full of it, then it took us."
"I can get it..."
They both looked at me like I was crazy.

"ARE YOU FREAKING CRAZY?! It's a stupid rock!!"

"Look, I can probably get in when he takes his next 2 victims. So you remember where he put it when he got you guys?"

"Yeah I do, it's a basket, it's a dark blue basket. That's where he puts everything."

"THIS IS UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!! He can't even talk and he wants a rock?!"

"Stop it!" He was getting me mad now. "Look I will be in and out and if I don't make it out...I hope you do. What does the rock look like?"

"It's a smooth stone, with a logo that looks like this..."

She drew a shape in the dirt: (£•¥)

"Alright, if I'm not back in 25 minutes go without me."

As I started to take off Slim called me.

"Wait Leban!"

"What?"

"Please be careful"

"I'll do my best,"
