Chapter 17

The next day, after telling Rose for the millionth time she was alright, Aaron was able to stand, but still was very weak from her last battle.

"But Theta, we still have to figure out a way to get out of here!"

"Yes, but your still weak, even flyboy here agrees. You need your rest, Paolo will stay here and look after you."

"Alright," Aaron mumbled and laid back down on her bed. This was not her day. When they all left, she went up to Paolo.

"Paolo?"

"Yes my lady?"

"Can you please get me out of here?"

"I can not do that. I promised you brother that I would not let you out."

"Pleeeaasssee!" She begged like a three-year-old.

"Go back to bed."

"Yes dad," she grumbled and went back to her bed.


While returning to there cell at the end of the day, Jack stopped in his tracks, "Doc," he said, with an urgency in his voice.

The rest of the group stopped and looked at him expectantly.

"Do you feel that?" He asked.

"What, flyboy?" Theta sounded annoyed.

"A breeze"

"Yeah, so"

"Doc, there can only be a breeze in here if there is another opening to the cave somewhere"

"Shh! You mustn't speak of this here!" Luce warned. "We must return to our compartment"

Once back at their cell, they decided to come up with a plan to find this 'breeze'. "When is the best time to look around?" Jack asked.

"You must be very cautious." Luce warned. "The best time would be early in the morning before the other workers wake up. I thought I explained this once."

Jack shrugged. "We still need to figure out the guards' schedules."

"You don't need to." Aaron said from her bed. "I managed to get the guards' schedule from Paolo. Had to do something while stuck in here."

"Fantastic sis!"

"Good. We'll start in the morning. Aaron, when's the best time?" Jack asked.

"Three o'clock. It should give us enough time to snoop around."

"Alright, now I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm exhausted, night." Jack said and went to bed.

"I'll stay up." Aaron said and sat down in front of the fire. The others nodded a thanks and went to bed. Aaron sighed and made herself comfortable.

'This is going to be a long night.'
