"He's gone?" Daniel repeated in surprise. The true implications of her words failed to penetrate his mind at first. His eyes widened in astonishment. "Are you kidding me? He's really gone?"
"Yes." She said, smiling. "I think he's really gone!" She laughed as he abruptly seized her and spun her around. He set her back down on her feet, kissing he softly.
Marcus studied her face, uncertain whether to believe that it could be possible that Balthus would just leave on his own. Still, by the expression of pure happiness on the girl's pretty face, he could see that she really believed that. He hoped that she was right. He would hate for that joy to be erased from her heart. Daniel was also grinning from ear to ear, and Marcus would hate for his friends to be disappointed.
But something bothered Marcus. If it was really true, why would Balthus just up and leave? Unless...he'd gotten what he'd been searching for. But he couldn't worry about that right now. He had to get them out of this room, but how? Going by what he could see, the door was the only entrance and exit.
Going by what he could see... wait. Balthus was the type of person that would have all sorts of hidden things in his abode. There might be another exit somewhere in this room, just in case he ever became trapped inside. From his minuscule knowledge of the monster called Balthus, Marcus thought that would make a lot of sense. He just had to figure out where a hidden pathway might be.
