Building A Connection

While the group started to leave, there was a commotion coming from down the hall. Some guards rushed by yelling about people trying to leave early. At first, the four of them were worried that it was about them. However, they had already handed the attendant outside their door the gold necessary.

The pounding footsteps seemed to head down the stairs that the group was already heading down. "Devi, why do I have the feeling that you caused someone trouble?" Clark was glad he was in his disguise. He wanted to be sure that there was no trouble attached to them.

"What nerve there is for someone to disrespect this city and try to run from here!" The shout was from a deep male voice. "You outbid me just to show that you lack the gold? This is not some child's game! This is a serious deal that could end you in prison for years!"

"What is going on?" Now there was worry in Maria's tone as they followed the voice and started to get a look at the one reprimanding these people.
