More Information

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

You wake up to find yourself lying on an iron cot in a small

storeroom. You sit up and try to move, and find that one ankle is

chained to the bed. Gradually your eyes become accustomed to the

darkness. There is a small window high above you on the wall, and

through it you can see a crescent moon shining. You can hear the beat

of the music you heard in the cafe. You sit there in the

half-darkness trying to figure out how to pick the ancient-looking

padlock that secures the chain on your ankle. The door to the room

opens slightly, throwing a shaft of light inside. It's bright enough

for you to recognize the dancer from the cafe. Quietly she closes the

door and whispers in your ear. "My name is Serena. I will help you

escape." She inserts a long, thin bar into the padlock on your ankle.

The lock snaps open. "Here, quickly!" she says. "Stand on my

shoulders and climb out the window. It leads to a rooftop. I will

pull myself up and follow." You want to go with her, but you have no

idea who this woman is and where she might be leading you. She could

be getting you into a worse situation. You look at the window high up

on the wall and then at the open door in front of you.

If you decide to accept Serena's help,

turn to page 73.

If you don't trust her, and try to escape through the door,

turn to page 104.
