"This is it," Theo's younger brother said, placing his hands on the wall and starting to push the wall. Damien also joined in to help.
Together, they managed to open the wall, revealing the base of a statue in a gazebo deep within the forest behind the estate.
"Whoa."
It was the perfect escape route, straight out of an adventure story. Damien couldn't help but feel a little thrill.
"This is a secret path I discovered while exploring the woods years ago," the boy explained, looking pleased with himself. "Not even my Mother knows about it, so we'll be safe here for a while."
Damien couldn't hear a single voice around them. It seemed like they really wouldn't be found for a while.
Still, now that they'd escaped all the way here, what was Theo's younger brother planning to do?
"Well then," the boy said and turning to Damien. "Call out those lizards somehow."
"Huh?" Damien blinked his eyes, caught completely off guard.
