“I felt it too. Only, it wasn’t the moon. It was the building.”
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
I recognized the sound immediately.
I grabbed Agatha and whipped her away from the window.
The drone zipped past the window and then paused, turning and attempting to peer through the grey covering.
It leaned in close and thought it’d seen us for sure.
Then it pulled back and joined two other drones that buzzed off.
“They found us…” Agatha said.
“They found this building. They haven’t found us yet. Where are his clothes?”
The sudden shift in topic made Agatha’s brain freeze.
“What?” she said.
I moved through the room, looking for the small pile of clothes I knew should be there somewhere.
“Over here,” Agatha said.
I tossed Draw’s sheer fabric to one side and found the device I was looking for.
It was small and black and fit neatly in my pocket.
“What is it?” Agatha said.
“The device that will unlock the shuttlecraft and allow us to get out of here.”
I moved to the window and peered through the grey lattice at the ground below.
“Are there any guards?” Agatha said.
“Not that I can make out,” I said. “But that doesn’t mean they aren’t out there.”
Draw gnawed on his restraints but wasn’t having much luck.
The machine had been designed for him not to escape.
“I’m going to let you out of this machine,” I said. “But first I need you to tell me how to get out of here.”
Draw’s breath sawed through his nose as he peered at me.
His eyes slid over to Agatha and his expression softened a touch.
“Go through the door at the end of the hall,” he said. “Turn right and use the stairs. They’ll take you to the back exit.”
I released one of the straps from his arm and flabby legs and another from his head.
“I’ll let you open the rest,” I said.
It would buy us a little time to get out of there.
I turned on my heel and marched across the room.
