i set to work on the soft layer of rock and carefully carved out a gap big enough for us to squeeze through . i walk up the steps and through the door that marcus just closed behind him . after the drug hit her , he just picked her up and headed down in the elevator , out the back door and into his truck . he offered no more warning than that , striking at her , his tail swiping , missing , swiping again , missing again . had something gone wrong after they 'd left her ?
