The Rescue Mission
"I can hear Anne singing again!" Stephanie exclaimed.
"Quick, Wally," Henry called out. "try singing to Anne again!"
"Why should I?" Wally asked Henry in protest.
"So that we can pinpoint exactly where Anne's singing is coming from." Tom answered Wally just before Henry could even answer.
Wally sighed, cleared his throat, and began to sing to Anne.
Wally: You will always be with me;
Like the clouds are in the day time sky;
You will never let me down;
Our bond is eternal;
My younger sister;
My friend.
Anne didn't even sing back.
"Wally," Alan shouted. "try singing again!"
Wally: You will always be with me;
Like the clouds are in the day time sky;
You will never let me down;
Our bond is eternal;
My younger sister;
My friend.
Again, Anne didn't even sing back.
"I don't hear any singing." Nancy said.
"Quick, Wally," Suzie said. "try singing again."
Wally sighed, cleared his throat, and began to sing to Anne once again.
Back in the dungeon, Princess Hikari could hear a male voice singing out to Anne.
Wally: You will always be with me;
Like the clouds are in the day time sky;
You will never let me down;
Our bond is eternal;
My younger sister;
My friend.
"Hey, Anne, perk up! I can hear one of our rescuers," Princess Hikari said urgently. "try singing back to the person."
Anne heard the guard grunting and snoring loudly.
"How can I sing back to our rescuers when that loud noise will drown out my voice?" Anne asked Princess Hikari worriedly.
"You've got to try!" Princess Hikari urged Anne.
Anne sighed, cleared her throat, and began to sing.
Anne: You will always be with me;
Like the moon is in the night time sky;
I will never let you down;
Our bond is eternal;
My older brother;
My friend.
Back on the main floor, Alan heard Anne's song coming from the dungeon.
"I can hear Anne singing," Alan said. "coming from that door!"
Anne: You will always be with me;
Like the moon is in the night time sky;
I will never let you down;
Our bond is eternal;
My older brother;
My friend.
Butch could hear a sound that was even louder than Anne's song.
"Oh my gosh," Butch asked. "what is that?"
Henry listened to the horrendous snoring.
"Oh! What a sound," Henry exclaimed. "there is absolutely no way it can be human!"
All of a sudden, Wally sang to Anne again.
Wally: You will always be with me;
Like the clouds are in the day time sky;
You will never let me down;
Our bond is eternal;
My younger sister;
My friend;
Wally then waited for Anne to sing back over the sound of the guard's booming snoring.
Until at last, it was Anne's turn to sing.
Anne: You will always be with me;
Like the moon is in the night time sky;
I will never let you down;
Our bond is eternal;
My older brother;
My friend.
Flip then saw the door leading down to the cells where the prisoners were kept, "This way, everybody!" he called.
Butch and the others raced down the stairs after Flip while Wally & Anne sang to one another once again.
Wally: You will always be with me;
Like the clouds are in the day time sky;
You will never let me down;
Our bond is eternal;
My younger sister;
My friend;
Anne: You will always be with me;
Like the moon is in the night time sky;
I will never let you down;
Our bond is eternal;
My older brother;
My friend.
Flip and the others silently crept into the room where the guard was sleeping while trying to keep an eye on both Anne and Princess Hikari.
