“And keeping Lune from screwing things up. He didn’t know how to move quiet. And he was so nervous, I thought they’d hear his raspy breathing as we slipped past the room where Cormil and Swift were doing what they did.But once we made it past them, it was easy. We dropped down flat on the carpet in the hall until they were finished. As soon as they walked back down the corridor together, we made our move. I loided the door to the big cheese’s office—it was nothing but a doorknob lock, no deadbol...t—and we went inside.I picked that room because I’d been in there before.

A parking lot outside the walls around the hospital where they kept us.I opened the window, moving real slow against it squeaking, but it didn’t make a sound.
