Secret Ways He knew the fastest course to the nursery from every floor within the palace. He had made it a point to know every nook and cranny of the palace and grounds. There were secret passages within the building and he did not know all of them, but he did know two which would get him to the nursery in record time. The entrance to the first was just ahead of him, under the banner of the seventh King of Sanc, a Standard taken from the National Museum by the Alliance appointed Governor. //The man was a thief. He should have been tried for theft and war crimes when Sanc fell to Oz. The old geezer got off lightly dying in the attack. I’m surprised he put himself in the firing line, unless he was just visiting the Alliance station at the time. Poor timing on his part.// Duo felt along the wall until he found the pressure point and the wall shifted. Grinning and flicking on the light switch on the wall he tripped the close switch and sped up the narrow stairs. With no torch on hand he needed to make use of the lighting system the Governor had had installed. He needed to run up the stairs, cross another hallway and then take a second passage down to the same floor he had just left. By doing so he would cut out a great deal of twisting and turning required to negotiate the rabbit warren the palace resembled. //I guess if you are at the top of the pecking order, you can give yourself special dispensation to take what you darn well please. He sure had no qualms about ripping off artefacts from the museum to furnish this place.// From what Duo had learned the appointed Governor had been a man born on the wrong side of the sheets of a noble house. He had been raised a commoner, made aware of his heritage and inferiority and determined one day he would have everything denied him. He had risen though the ranks, taken part in the invasion of Sanc, though admittedly he had played a minor role, and been appointed Governor. He had wasted no time making himself comfortable at the expense of others. Coming up off the last of the stairs he increased his pace before skidding to a stop and tripping the exit, which opened before him with an aggravating lack of speed. Free of the passage he did not bother closing the door, that could wait, and raced off down the hall looking for the statue of a wood nymph. //Zechsy had better not get his ass kicked. I reserve that right for myself. Preferably he’ll be naked and tied to the headboard of an oversized bed. I’ll bite instead of kicking him, much more satisfying for me that way. I’ll even invite Wu Fei to nibble. I’m sure he wouldn’t be able to resist.// End
