Chapter 3

It was the day of Abe’s return. A lot of Mudokons had turned up in the Sanctum to see him. Our group stood in a clearing in the crowd. I was sitting in a wheelchair that Scar-eye, Nat and Leo had made for me. I had used the tiny bit of strength I had left to move the chair and myself from our village of Miros to the large hall. Bigface was already on the stage and everyone was awaiting Abe’s arrival.
“He’ll be here soon!” exclaimed Ash.
I mumbled in agreement, I couldn’t believe that several weeks ago I had met Abe when he was in the Brewery.

Bigface spoke up and the Muds suddenly quietened down. He spoke about how Abe would soon be there and how he was the saviour of the Mudokons. The Shamans circle was present as well. They were part of his plan to heal me. I was supposed to meet Abe and Bigface at Bigface’s cave after the Muds had all returned to their villages. The Scrabs and Paramites were also there looking proud and majestic. All the Mudokons were concentrating on the stage.

My head suddenly buzzed. I looked around and then an image flashed before my eyes. A group of Sligs were sneaking through some caves. Then I noticed something. They were in Miros and they were looking for me. I remembered the Boardroom image.

I desperately wanted to say something to my friends or indeed anyone in the room but I couldn’t speak. They were all still looking eagerly at the stage.
None of them except me were to know that lots of shadowy figures were entering the room through the many tunnels.
Abe and myself in one go. I thought. The two most wanted terrorists on Mudos.

Suddenly a cheer rung out. I looked up to see a group of birds coming together near Bigface. A blinding light shone as they touched and then Abe fell from the portal.

“It’s Abe!” yelled the exited crowd.

Abe waved back to them.
There was suddenly a lot of talking again. An image flashed of a gun being pointed and a green finger sliding over the trigger.
I closed my eyes but the image remained. The gunshot rang out and there was a loud gasp from the Mudokons. I opened my eyes to see that one of the Sacred Scrabs had been shot dead.
A Slig walked into an opening in the crowd.

“Odd damn it, I always was a shit Marksman!” It said.

“Search the area!” yelled another.

About twenty more followed. I began to sweat.

“Jim, get out of the sanctum!” Said Rob inside my head.

I saw Bigface and Abe in the corner of my eye they were leaving through a doorway that led to the Shaman’s circle chapel.

“Jim! Go!” He said again.

“Do it, ya idiot!” Said Ice in the depths of my mind.

So I began to wheel myself quickly after Abe and Bigface. The others followed.
“Jim! Where are you going?” whispered Leo.

I was close to the door, I was through the door.
We had made it out of the Sanctum and no Sligs had seen us. However they would be after us as they hadn’t found me…
