There was something about this he didn't like as he walked hurriedly to the mailbox. There was an urgency to his movements he tried hard to cover but doing that and trying to keep himself calm at the same time was almost impossible. Putting the letter canister in the tube he shot it up into the sky, watching it as it disappeared through the top of the airship. He hoped the right person would read it and respond. It had been a long time since he'd climbed up the ladder to the airship and he was sure it was a feat he wouldn't manage to do again, at least not without encountering some difficulty that would attract the wrong person's attention. Another issue with climbing into the airship was his long time nemesis in the form of Nine was up there. They'd tolerated each other for Robyn's sake in the controlled amounts of time they'd been in the same room. He felt safer when he wasn't alone with the man but still felt intimidated by his presence. By sending the letter he'd done what Robyn had asked. All he could do now was wait.

Once he'd assured himself that for the moment Robyn was alright, Kit had stood up and turned on Boris. He was angry and with his previous target for his anger again unconscious he found a new one. In the face of Kit's ire Boris had remained calm and listened to the frustrations thrown at him.

"You should have waited to question her!" Kit barked, "She'd only just woken up!"

"I waited as long as I could. I needed to speak to her. I needed to know what was going on."

"I would have thought that much was flaming obvious! Somehow she's been talking to him and he's gone and offed someone."

"I'm trying to find out how she's been in contact with him. You heard what she said, she'd met the priest. Can you explain that?"

Kit huffed loudly.

Nine wanted to step in and cool the situation down but his attention was drawn away from his granddaughter and the arguing men in front of him as a letter shot through the floor of the airship. Deftly catching it he took it upon himself to view its contents. Seeing that it was addressed rather puzzlingly to Boris he handed it over to him. For a moment Boris perused the letter before his face fell into a frown. Folding it up he placed it in his pocket and walked over to the platform. As it lowered he issued a direct order to those within the airship.

"Stay here."

Descending the ladder Boris found Robbie by the mailbox. The expression on the man's face urged him to follow him and he did so as Robbie turned and walked towards his house. A thought crossed his mind whether he should have backup waiting on standby but he ignored it. There was no feasible need for him to do so and he was well equipped to handle any situation that arose. His men had seen him meet with Robbie and knew behind which closing door he'd disappeared.

As Robbie scuttled further inside the house, Boris held back a little. There was something going on but he didn't yet know what. A noise came from the kitchen and he wondered who else was in the house. Kit was in Sportacus' airship and Doctor Cole had gone over to the Mayor and Bessie's house after the meeting. His curiosity piqued he looked at Robbie who seemed to silently tell him to see who was in there. With cautious steps he moved from the front door to the doorway of the kitchen, his hand automatically hovering over the hilt of his weapon. As he drew closer to the kitchen more of the room became visible and the person he saw stood inside by the far wall looking back at him almost caused him to dart away in shock but he found himself frozen to the spot.

His vocal faculties more usable than his physical ones he stumbled for words, "I...I...I don't understand. You...You're up there. How are you here?"

Coldness began to fill her as she felt the Watchers approaching. They knew what she was going to do. There was only one way to hold them back.

"I'll tell you but you have to swear not to mention this to anyone else." Robyn's voice was grave, her eyes tinged with fear.

"Robyn, what is going on?"

All around them lights began to flicker on and off. Sounds of groaning metal reached their ears. They could see their breath in the air as the temperature in the airship dropped. Something was happening. The groaning sounds grew louder as the lights flickered more violently. A rhythmic thudding sent shockwaves along the floor, a warning sign for them to leave.

"Swear you won't tell anyone!" Robyn repeated desperately.

Boris felt a sudden chill overcome him, above his head he could hear floorboards squeaking. The walls around him seemed to whisper strange words as silhouettes started to form; it seemed darker in the room than it had when he came in. Robbie dashed into the kitchen behind him, making a bee line for Robyn. Terror was plain on his features as he clung to her.

Offering her daddy as much comfort as he was trying to give her, Robyn yelled, "Swear you won't tell anyone or we'll die!"

They had to get out. All around them the walls seemed to continue their groaning. They had to evacuate the airship. Sportacus shouted for the platform to go down, he had to get his parents and Robyn out of there first but it wouldn't comply. He tried again but still it wouldn't respond. Calling for the door he found that equally unresponsive. He tried to call for the control unit to reset the system but again there was nothing. Whatever command he gave seemed to fall on deaf ears as his airship rebelled against him.

They were trapped.
