Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ １４

"Oh! Hullo you're not James and Roger. Did the executive committee send you?"

"No, No, I..Uh..these chaps, they're trying to fix the bridge to St. George"

"What a coincidence. I can't open my own doors, either"

"What did you mean you're..locked in? What did you do?"

"I told the executive committee I wasn't going to make anymore Spankers, or Gates or clever locks or peppers or jubilators. Those are all my designs. You know"

"They can do that? And no, I don't work for them"

"Ah Then you're rather brilliant to have got in, aren't you? Please, will you help me out"

"Mmm..how?"

"I don't suppose you see a large red button on that slide that says 'Open the cage'"

"There is a button, but doesn't say that"

She sighed and rubbed her forehead in frustration.

"I was afraid of that. They don't trust those boys out there. I can't say I blame them. I can't trust them not to set themselves on fire. Alright   Maybe you can still help me"

"I was sort of hoping you could tell me how to fix the bridge to St. George"

"I can. But not till I get out of here. So I'll need a few things from you. Fair enough?"

"Ah..sure?"

"Brilliant! I'll need a bucketful of motline. According to the pressure control grid, there's air in the pipes here. That usually means a leak. Here, take this vacuum. You can keep it afterwards I don't plan to be anywhere near here"

A loud hiss erupted the atmosphere as the shutters closed. You went near it and got the vacuum. You both exit the building as you breathed the morning air as much the cooling breeze entered and everywhere of your lungs.

"Either she's as brilliant as sally, and as reckless, or she's completely mad"

"Either those two might be her but I doubt it be as Sally"

Running across the long fields like a Running marathon. Arthur would stop and breathless as you too as well. But at least you'll be able to have much more energy than you did last time.
You both came across the village along with people victims of the plague.
With houses against each other's and behind the others was one but had gasses flooding the whole house. You didn't like strong scents or anything that made you Lightheaded or Faint. You both entered as soon you covered your whole mouth and nose with your sleeve. But sadly it wasn't long enough to cover it completely. Which the gas was able to have access to your lungs.

You held your breath for a second or minute. But no matter what the gas would find its way to make you beg for air and breath in its intoxicating gas. You coughed roughly making you to hurt your lungs badly. Along with Arthur that looked like was chocking from the gas. Whatever Dr. Faraday needed you need to get out quick. Searching up and down the house you were going to faint anyway. As soon you realized how your knees were about to give in including your body to its consuming your whole body and mind.

'Why does the ground look like it's getting closer?'

Before your face was about to hit impact to your sides. When Arthur was quick enough to grab your arms and pull you up back to your feet and drag you both out.

You felt the wave of relief and your visions adjusting outside. As soon you were breathing in the air. You were back to your state and tried to stand correctly but only to go on one knee along the other to the ground.
