It took three hours by car, and then two on foot to reach the pipes. This would be the hard part of their mission. They would then have to incapacitat... anyone who was in the way of reaching the main computer system.Mr. Williams was the first to reach the pip. When he did he noticed two pipes were together."Damn now what do we do?" He said."It looks like we are going to have to spilt up." Reno said."Then how are we going to do it?" Bill asked."Well normally when two people spilt off they go in. I looked back at Mommy, "Guess I undowstan hucum you like wewing yowpwetty dwess so much." I could no longer stop myself from stepping intoMommy's arms and hugging her as hard as I could while she squeezed meback. I felt so happy and safe. Couldn't we stay like this? No! I couldnot let the witch win!When I stepped back from Mommy, I said, "Ca we go ta dat lady an get hewta fix us now?"She stood up. "Okay sweetheart, I guess we should go talk to the woman. Wedid try to rob her house." She didn't. " She says and I can see her anger barely in check as she stares at me menacingly."Yes Mrs Hollinhoe. Sorry Mrs Hollinhoe." I say picking myself and my things up off the floor as I force myself not to cry. I hurry to Mrs Copelyn without any further incident and follow her out of the classroom.We walk in silence, our footsteps echoing down the polished empty hallways and my terror grows ever larger with every corner we turn."Wh-why does the headmaster want to see me Miss? Am I in trouble?" I ask. She was on the brink of quickening her pace to a sprint, leading whom she was almost perfectly convinced was Leia on a chase to learn which of them could outrun the other while seeking her path to Outside and freedom ... when she suddenly felt the woman's legs slam around her neck with brute force, locking together at the ankles and constricting fiercely. Choking and gasping for air as the powerful thigh muscles coiled themselves around her, Jessica looked up as far as her neck would allow.
