"He's awake now." Bennu had a
bemused look on his face. "I can't contact him outright, but I'm getting
fragments of what is going on. Someone is helping him escape."
"So strange," she muttered.
"What is?"
"You two are so...very alike. Your
duties parallel. Yet you are a fugitive from those who should assist you, while
Reydell is held in high honor." Aria shook her head. "It is not
sensible."
"Don't worry, I'm not that badly
off. I have some friends in high places too." He stood up, now that all
activity in front of the hospital had ceased for a while. "Let's go."
Together they entered the building and
found their first stroke of luck -- no one at the front desk. Bennu's link and
a sign on the wall directed them down the east wing. They turned a corner, Aria
in the lead, and found five men in sheriff's uniforms, standing in the hall.
Bennu did a quick side-backstep and retreated around the corner again, tugging
Aria back with him.
"Uniformed men -- those are
police?" she whispered. Bennu nodded. "What are the guns you warned
me of?"
"The black, hand-sized objects
hanging from their belts. I have an idea to get you in to Reydell. How well do
you lie?" Mischief glinted in his eyes, to be answered by a smile and nod
from the girl.
