Rasoul agreed to help Saluk get into the Palace. After all, he was the one who had turned in the Forty Thieves, their secret hideout, and discovered the King of Theives' true identity.

"And you'll certainly become Agrabah's favorite hero."said Saluk. "You just leave the dirty work to me."

Rasoul agreed. After all, if he could get credit for this no good's dirty work, and come out a hero, he could certainly maybe reach higher even than as Captain of the Guards. He knew all the secret passageways around the Palace, thanks to his current position. Perhaps even better than the any o f the royal family themselves. But of course, the last Sultan had been a bit of an idiot, and this one, was nothing more than a street rat. He led Saluk quietly. Gene appeared out of a corner.

"Sneaking around at night?"he asked.

"I'm on duty."Rasoul answered.

"Hmm, duty."Genie scribbled that on a notepad. "Around here?"

"It's my job."he answered, coldly.

"Right. Permission granted."

"Thank you."said Rasoul coldly.

Genie went off in another direction.

"That idiot, always interfering with Palace issues."

"That was one at the wedding."

"The genie."Rasoul almost spat at the word. "If you would take care of him, too."

"My priority is the King of Thieves."

"True. If you remain here, he will come here on his way to breakfast. Or...perhaps it would be better to attack him while he's asleep."suggested Rasoul.

"And make you appear in bad light?"

"True enough. We just better find him dead, or else!"

Iago was leading the kids around the Palace.

"And I remember that once, I overheard the Sultan tell your mother about a great amount of treasure buried somewhere around here. It's supposed to multiply by every good deed you do or something. It was left here by one of your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great, well you kids get the idea."

"I'm tired, Iago."said Ilyas.

"It'll be worth it!"Iago assured him.

"But why are we looking for the treasure?"asked Fahriha.

Iago rolled his eyes.

"Because I can't dig for it by myself. And as you're gonna help me, it will be a good deed, and we get twice as much from the start. And as you kids have such big hearts, then it will keep increasing, and that way, never run out. You understand?"

The kids didn't say anything. Iago was leading them outside,using the same route where Rasoul had told Saluk to hide.

"We're not far."said Iago, in anticipation.

Saluk heard them.

"The parrot."he looked out.

He saw Iago flying along, and three kids following him. Saluk smiled to himself. Iago perched himself on Ilyas's shoulder. They must certainly be the princes and the princess. What other kids would be strolling around the Palace at these hours, and in these corridors.

"Well, that certainly took a lot out of me. I'll just direct you now."

Just as they were almost outside, Saluk sprang out of his hiding place, and grabbed the kids.

"AAAHHH! He's back!"exclaimed Iago.

"Iago help us!"

"I'll go get the genie!"

"Iago!"

Saluk saw that the parrot was about to escape. He grabbed Iago in one fist, while he tied the kids up with a curtain he had ripped off.

"But you're supposed to be back on that one island, with the treasure!"

"Not anymore! And you and these kids will serve perfectly for what I have in mind!"he said.

"Um, maybe gold? We were just on our way to find some! You wouldn't believe it! This one really is endless! And it doesn't turn you to gold! Just what you want!"

Saluk ran back the same way Rasoul had led him.
