Edward reacted quickly, knocking the fearful man unconscious just as the door opened.

"What was that noise?" the first guard who entered asked.

The guards were not easily fooled. They scanned the room. The other men looked scared, but that wasn't unusual. They counted the prisoners. Seeing that the number was complete, they turned around and left.

This time, they made sure to lock the door.

"You… how did you get back?" the man next to Edward asked in shock.
