I race to the end of the hallway and pause. Another thing I learned from demon patrol: never go into an unknown area without checking first.
Time to check.
With maximum stealth, I take a careful look around the corner. Crud. A pair of Razor Guards blocks the next passageway. One of them is wearing a composite bow strapped across his back. Evil Lincoln mentioned that before. A composite bow means that guard can shoot one of Ethan’s black arrows and send me to who knows where. Not good.
I step away so I’m back in the main hallway. Leaning against the wall, I press my palms against my eyes and think. There must be some way to get past the guards and keep going to the labs. My thoughts speed through various options.
Hey, guys, Albinia told me I could come check out the labs.
Bad idea.
