Who's Saving Who?

Summary: Sarah is a temp agent at the CIA (yes I did say CIA) and gets pulled into a reconnaissance mission involving the labyrinth. And, if I tell you anymore it will ruin the story, so read and find out what happens.
Wiping the rebellious tears that slid slowly down her cheeks with the sleeve of her robe, Sarah stood slowly and wrapped the robe tighter around her waist. Sniffing slightly she walked over to the wardrobe that Jareth had provided her with and chose a peach colored simple dress. It had bell sleeves and a dipping neckline, yet it was good enough to wear outdoors, which is exactly what she needed.
Sarah didn't know what had happened to the clothes the CIA had provided her with, but after she had stepped out of the bath earlier they were no longer there. Now she was stuck with a dress she didn't want to wear even if it did look great on her. She pulled her hair back into a bun with skilled fingers revealing her long, graceful neck.
The next thing she needed were shoes. Opening the same wardrobe that she had found the dress in, she discovered a bottom drawer that was filled with mostly elegant lady's slippers, none, which really suited her purpose, but she pulled out a matching peach colored pair and decided they would have to do.
Ready to go, she opened the door to her room cautiously, bating her breath as if not to be heard. At this point she was glad that the shoes had no heels so she could sneak stealthily down the hallway undetected. Once at the end of the hallway, she peaked her head around the corner and looked both ways to make sure the coast was clear.
Unfortunately a trio of roaring drunk, bumbling goblins occupied the left hallway. They were all short and fat and had little piggy noses and beady dark eyes. Sarah thought that maybe she could head down the right hallway and maybe they wouldn't see her, but that was too risky. A feeling of resolve went through her, and she squared her shoulders and held her head high.
Sticking her nose in the air she tried to seem like a noble woman. "Which way to the outer doors of the castle?" she demanded rudely, very out of character. The goblins all shut up and then looked at Sarah greedily. One of the drunkest goblins stepped forward, and said in a slur, "Theys be dat (hiccup) vay," he said pointing a gnarled pudgy finger down the right hallway.
Breathing a sigh of relief Sarah turned on her heel and hurried down the other hallway. She was glad she wouldn't have to continue down the other hallway past the other two drunken goblins.
Finally reaching the outer doors past twisting hallways that she had ventured down, she wasn't sure how to open the doors. They were rather large, but gathering her strength, she put her back into pushing the doors open with all her might.
Budging a little, she was able to fit through the crack she had created between the door and the doorway. She continued to rush down the steps leading from the castle two at a time, and she ran all the way to the outer gates leading to the labyrinth from the Goblin City. She was almost certain she was home free now. Until she realized that opening the gate before hadn't been an issue because of the hug mechanical robot that had occupied that space.
Sighing she looked around, searching for a way to make it past the gates. Not seeing any, she noticed the sides of the gate had slightly rungs in it, and maybe she could scale her way up the wall, but getting down would be another story.
Until another option presented itself, Sarah hiked up her dress slightly and started to climb up the side of the gate to the top of the wall. It took her a while, but reaching the top she was able to catch her breath a bit. Looking around she saw the entire labyrinth from her vantage point. It still seemed so enormous to her. Slightly in awe, she looked down and the ground seemed so far away. Gulping slightly she couldn't find a way down.
Closing her eyes, she bit her lip and leaped from the top of the wall, her dress billowing out around her.
Okay, I was just told that I'm "pressuring" you guys to review. So, I won't ask you to unless you want to. I'm sorry if anyone felt "pressured", but that was certainly not my intention. I got an A on my essay, so taking time off of the story wasn't a complete waste at least. Ciao.
