‘Now you two run and fetch help,’ said Victor. ‘Er. We’ll wait here.’
He heard them disappear into the distance. Laddie’s faraway barking indicated that they had reached the outside air.

Victor shifted in the darkness, trying to make himself comfortable.
‘I don’t know,’ he confessed. ‘At first I thought it was a temple. And it looked as though people used it for watching moving pictures.’
‘But it looked hundreds of years old!’sat back.‘Now all we have to do is wait,’ he said.‘We’re in the hill, aren’t we?’ said Ginger’s voice in the darkness.‘Yes.’‘How did we get here?’‘I followed you.’‘I told you to stop me.’‘Yes, but then you tied me up.’‘I did no such thing!’‘You tied me up,’ repeated Victor. ‘And then you came here and opened the door and made a torch of some sort and went all the way into that ‑ that place. I dread to think of what you’d have done if I hadn’t woken you up.’There was a pause.‘I really did all that?’ said Ginger uncertainly.‘You really did.’‘But I don’t remember any of it!’‘I believe you. But you still did it.’
