Chapter One Hundred & Eighty Four: Down A Ditch

"Why would you say that? The job is simple. Dig a hole in the forest that will lead into the compound," Columbus reiterated.

"You have a blueprint of the place; here. From here you start digging the hole. It's a straight line, you'll be in the stables if you take this route. They will not be expecting it," explained Columbus holding up a blueprint of Lord Creon's house so he could show Philip.

"Perhaps we should go to the forest and you can show it to me there, er, I am not very bright sir," Philip said scratching his head as if he was confused. However, he had other plans.
