Part 4

Chapter 7

“Let's get to the east doors,” Teryl said.

All the masks were in backpacks.

The group rushed through the halls. 

The few stunned were being carried.

The other Spiriters were waiting at the doors.

One peeked out of one of the doors. He shut it.

“Guards, coming,” he said. “Tens of them. Too many. Let's go, we need to take another exit.”

They ran back into the lobby. 

“West doors?” Mac asked.

“Those will be covered,” Veera said. “To the mask hall. We'll take the basement exit.”

Chapter 8

In the mask hall.

They locked the doors behind them.

Veera led them.

In the back of the huge room was a stairwell going downward.

At the landing was a door. 

Veera said. “Give me a ring of keys.”

One of the Spiriters handed one over.

Veera began trying the keys.

The group waited, hoping they wouldn't hear the hall doors open.
