Aleiagha, Shadick, and Zack stood in the doorway of the tunnel's makeshift prison cell, peering in at the empty bed. There was a mixture of emotions: anger, shock, and disbelief. Kaul had vanished, and they had no idea how he did it.
"How the hell can he be gone?" Aleigha hissed, rushing into the room. Her face was pale with anger. She felt the bed with her hands to make sure he wasn't wearing a cloaking shield. The bed was empty; the chains were scattered on the floor around the bed. "How the fuck did he escape. I knew it. There really were militia members down here in the tunnels. He was sedated. How could he have escaped on his own!"
Aleigha paced the small room in anger. She had a feeling earlier that there was someone down there with them. She should have gone back out into the tunnel and investigated. If she had, Medic Kaul might not have disappeared.
