Chapter 2: The Escape

Sly sat on the ground cross-legged trying to think of a plan of escape. All of the trials he had ever faced before meant nothing compared to this. Every thieving skill he knew could not help him. He wished he had some sort of tool shaped somewhat like a question mark. "That would help a lot," Sly thought, "But I doubt a thing like that even exists."

"Pssst." The old man whisperd.

"What?" Sly screamed.

"I know how we can get out of here. But I'll need your help."

"Why do I need YOUR help?"

"Because you need to escape, and I have the key to it.

"Sure. What's the key?"

"Knowledge. At feeding time, we run out the door. That's the plan."

"Okay."

The next day at feeding time, Sly played through the entire plan. All 2 parts. Then the guard came and opened all the doors. Sly bolted out the doors. He ran until he met up with the old man at the proposed spot.

"Okay, I'm gonna pull the old 'jump-down-the-laundry-chute-which-takes-me-to-the-laundry-cart-which-gets-me-free' trick." Sly said. Before the old man could react, Sly jumped down the chute.

Sly slid down the chute for a few moments. Then he hit something that wasn't laundry. It was garbage.

"EEEWWW!" Sly shrieked. Then he looked around. The walls began to close on Sly. Then Sly felt the watery garbage around him moved. He got sucked down into a hole.

When he opened his eyes, he was at the end of a drainpipe in the middle of nowhere. It was raining.

"At least I'm out of the insane people place." Sly muttered. Sly got up. He started to walk down a road. Then he heard something. A loud noise that was coming closer. He turned around. A gigantic train was barreling towards him.

"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sly screamed.

Will Sly get ran over? Is this the end? Find out in Chapter 3!
