Chapter 40
"Great plan Aerrow" Piper growled in annoyed sarcasm.
"Well, at least Stork and Junko managed to get away" he returned quietly as they were lead to the throne room.
The young man by the Kings side glared at them angrily and informed his majesty of their arrival.
Aerrow and Piper sent each other a nervous expression, hoping this wouldn't be the last time they saw each other or their friends.
Stork and Junko lay hidden in ruins just outside the city, far away from the Condor.
"Stork, why are we here and not at the Condor?" Junko asked, unsure of their next step "That's where Aerrow told us to go"
Stork was in the same boat, Aerrow's escape plan had fallen apart fantastically.
'Or has it really?' he found himself thinking.
"The reason we're here and not at the Condor is because that would be the first place the guards would come looking for us. We have to stay out of sight. Junko, you keep watch. I want to study the book more" he ordered "I have a feeling its words have been grossly misconstrued"
Blinx was feeling the lines and tapping the bricks in the wall, desperately looking for some way out.
"What're doing now?" Finn asked in boredom as he lounged on the mattress, staring up to the ceiling.
"I'm trying to find a way out of here while you lay on your lazy arse!" she hissed angrily.
"Uncalled for" he shot, looking to her "That's not all I'm doing"
"Oh yeah? What else are you doing that can be done from down there?" she snapped sarcastically.
"I'm staring at the moon. Nothing else to do"
She shook her head, annoyed by his irresponsible state, until; 'The moon?'
"Finn, what do you mean by that?"
"The moon. Ya know, outside" he pointed up to the ceiling, sending her a 'duh' kinda look.
She looked up in the direction of his finger and saw the open hole in the ceiling.
She smiled "Finn, listen very carefully, I will saw this only once; you are a genius. I think you just found our way out"
Radarr was out on the town and painting it red...in his own way.
Tonight had been great so far, children had played with him and fed him earlier, he'd raced and won against a few of the local, furry residence, people had fed him, he hadn't been kicked around at all like he would've been on other Terra's, people had fed him...mainly to make him leave them alone...but it was still food.
He was now heading back to the Condor to turn in for the night.
He'd just turned down an alley not too far from the palace, when he heard something. It was faint enough but with his ears he could hear more than the average human. It had a sort of echoing sound to it and it peaked his suspicions.
He hastened toward to noise and quickly found that someone was yelling for help. He also found that he knew that voice.
He skittered around a corner and nearly collided with a wall, the voice obviously carrying from the other side.
There was nothing he could see to climb and the wall itself was too tall and crumbling for him to climb it. The only other thing he could think of was to run off again and find a few hundred of his new rat friends.
