CHAPTER 265: KICKING THE BEES' NEST (3)

After Cordel places the little girl in a drawer. We get down and join K'nor who is cleaning himself.

"Let's go."

I don't feel any Longinus' presence around us. Which is good. The smell is also less strong here. We advance slowly and navigate through the alleys that are shaped like a maze.

"Is this how it is supposed to be?"

"What?"

"The basement."

"I don't know."

"Grrr!"

K'nor stops and his fur instantly raises when we arrive at a corner. I feel it too, there is a Longinus coming. I signal Cordel that there is something coming and he kneels on one knee. Then we both grab our weapons. K'nor is ready to pounce at a moment's notice but I pat him on the head to calm him down. I am taking care of this one.
