Drayce and others reached the prison cell. Not bothering to look at them, the elf said, "When they escaped, they had brought their captive along with them. Must be someone important, since if it's just a nobody they wouldn't bother to keep that captive alive. From the fresh blood, it seems like they have moved that person maybe an hour or two ago. If you had started investigating in the morning, you could have caught these bastards since they seemed to have left by sunset."
Drayce kneeled on one leg next to the elf and touched the blood on the ground as well. "You are right. It's fresh."
"That's strange. Shouldn't they have run as soon as their mission failed? It's been an entire day since the incident, so why wait till the evening to leave?" Slayer commented as he too touched the blood.
