“MOVE! MOVE!” I heard someone urge the Council and the older attendees, who fumbled their way down the secret tunnel. Left in the lobby were Niklos and a few of Tony’s guys, the commander’s few, the Danilovs, Alec, and me.

The grunts, smacks, clatters, clangs, and expletives were punctuated by that same hissing and squeaking that I’d heard on my run down the hill.
