The wolf snarled at The Master as he left. The Master was led to the fence, but it was hard to see the hooded figure on the other side. The hooded figure nodded at the guards, and they left, giving The Dark One, The Master, and the hooded figure their privacy. The hooded man removed his hood and The Master immediately recognized him. 

It was That Boy, from earlier. He was frowning at The Master, as the rainfall increased. The raindrops that covered his face gave him a reflective glow of sorts. 

"I'm guessing you want to get out of here," said That Boy. "Unfortunately, we can't provide... too much aid. However, we will do what we can on one condition. You escape, but you do it with The Dark One and the cyborg. You will need to work with Lilly, but her escape is not required. When you find Lilly, tell here 'Go Booze.' Also, if you want her location, ask the Salamander. Understand?"

"Ah, we'll grab you a snack from upstairs. The Ancient Roots Clan, eh? I have some... erm... sad news, if you've associated with Sandra, which I assumed you hadn't. But now that I know... uh..." Larry scratched his ear. It transformed into a larger, scaled, white version.

"You two, why don't you go with Debra and get some snacks?"

Debra was shakily led upstairs with the other two dragons, sobbing quietly. "I'll be alright," she managed, "I just need a minute."

Larry and William remained alone in the room. 

"I'm sorry, William. I only recently learned this from the dragon that's currently graves, my brother, Todd. He's the size of a hand, and scouts around. Erm..."

Larry was definitely struggling to get the news out. Finally he collected himself, "First of all, Jeffery, Jared's brother, was found dead... crushed by an elevator, I believe. And Sandra... she was beaten by Jared. He almost killed her. That Boy tried to save her, but... she's in a coma. Has been for several hours. She's... she's not waking up any time soon. I'm sorry."
