"He has them at the hideout."said Cassim.

"I suppose you know where that is?"said Rasoul.

"I remember."

They entered the hideout.

"You've made it."said Saluk.

"Where are they?"asked Cassim. "Here you have me, now let them go. The guard shall take them back to the Palace."

"Is anyone else with you?"

"No. Just the two of us."

"Very good."said Saluk.

"Are we leaving yet?"asked Iago hopefully.

"You're just lucky bird."

He grabbed them, and pulled and pushed them out of the dark room, and led them towards where Cassim and Rasoul was waiting.

"You simply better hope that they are all right."said Rasoul.

Saluk brought them out.

"Ah! Cassim!"exclaimed Iago. "You wouldn't believe how I've missed everybody! How's the Genie? The Rug? The monkey?"

"Grandpa!"

Everyone ran to him.

"He's mean!"

"I want Mommy."

"He scares me."

Cassim nodded.

"Listen, you are going to go with Rasoul."he told them. "He will take you back to the Palace."

"We don't want to stay here anymore."

"Well, let's get going."said Iago, flying towards Rasoul.

"Aren't you coming, Grandpa?"

"No, I'm staying here. You go with Rasoul."

"Well, as they are fine, I believe we will leave."said Rasoul. "This way."

"What about the Kid's dad?"asked Iago.

"I will remain here, Iago."said Cassim.

"I wouldn't suggest it as a vacation spot."said Iago.

"It's not a vacation. You two simply worry about getting them back safely."

"Why should you doubt?"asked Rasoul.

"Now that everyone's happy,"said Saluk. "I believe the agreement was that the guard would take them out of my sight!"

"True."said Rasoul. "This way, come along. We'll be back at the Palace in no time."

As soon as they were gone, Cassim turned to Saluk.

"Well, here I am. You shouldn't have taken them hostage! Your battle is with me!"

"Oh, but I couldn't pass up the chance to make you miserable!"

"What do you want?"

"Unfortunately, the first time, you weren't at the hideout! And the next, you outsmart me, but not on this one!"said Saluk.

"The hideout?"

"I gave the guard the magic word, but you weren't at the hideout, however, your luck has run out.,Cassim. You thought you could take my place among the Forty Thieves! I was one who should've been King of Thieves! You were nothing more than an idiot who tried to ruin the reputation of the Forty Thieves in the Seven Deserts! The last King was an idiot to challenge you! I would've killed you with no problem, but he was only a proud fool! I was supposed to be meant the next King of Thieves."

"The Forty Thieves do not exist anymore."

"But I will have my revenge! Thanks to the stupid guard who agreed to bring you here!"

"Rasoul? Rasoul has been helping you?"

Saluk laughed.

"Of course."said Saluk. "How do you think I managed to kidnap those brats?"
