Alistair’s Sneeze

Okay, is it just me, or is Alistair completely crazy?  I mean, “the pleasure of a sneeze”? What does that even mean?

Anyway, while Al was enjoying his gargantuan sneeze and totally exposing himself to the guy he said is called “Wolf”, I was stuck behind a couch.  Totally stuck.  I couldn’t help Alistair by jumping up like a jack in the box, and there was no handy rock to aim at a nearby head.  So, I used his distraction to think.  The EMP wouldn’t do much good since by the time Al and I adjusted to zero light, the other guys would be too.  I had a gun, but honestly I don’t know much about guns.  I was totally afraid to fire it.  So I was stuck.

I listened to the conversation and was surprised at Alistair’s suggestion.  Did he really think that even if he won his silly sword fight that they’d let him go?  Although I couldn’t see that Wolf guy, I could tell from his voice that he was bad news.  Promised violence dripped out with every word.

When Alistair stepped back and mouthed “Go” at me I knew what he wanted me to do.

I counted until a hundred and then peaked around the edge of the couch.  The room was empty so I scurried  to the door.  I had to crawl so no one would see me from the window.

Just as I got there I heard a hum and a scraping sound. I looked around and saw that metal plates were coming down to block the windows.  I looked into the hall and saw the same thing happening with the windows there too.

I quickly retraced my steps back to the security guards’ changing room, hoping the small bathroom window wasn’t blocked.  But, of course, it was.

I sat down, trying to remain calm.  How was I supposed to get out now?
