"I'm
afraid
so.
I
brought
cards
to
play,
but
we
can't
risk
any
light
now.
We
need
to
choose
our
positions
carefully.
These
men
are
dangerous.
I'll
stand
behind
this
crate.
You
hide
behind
those.
When
I
flash
the
light,
move
in
quickly.
If
they
shoot,
Watson,
don't
hesitate
to
shoot
back."
I
placed
my
revolver
on
the
crate
I
hid
behind.
Holmes
closed
the
lantern,
and
we
were
in
complete
darkness.
The
smell
of
hot
metal
assured
us
the
light
was
ready.
The
sudden
darkness
and
the
cold
air
of
the
vault
were
unsettling,
and
my
nerves
were
tense.
"They
can
only
escape
back
through
the
house
to
Saxe-Coburg
Square,"
whispered
Holmes.
"I
hope
you
did
what
I
asked,
Jones?"
"I
have
an
inspector
and
two
officers
at
the
front
door,"
replied
Jones.
"Then
we've
blocked
all
exits.
Now,
we
must
be
silent
and
wait."
Time
passed
slowly.
It
was
only
an
hour
and
fifteen
minutes,
but
it
felt
like
the
whole
night.
My
muscles
were
stiff,
and
I
didn't
dare
move.
My
nerves
were
on
edge,
and
I
could
hear
my
companions
breathing.
Suddenly,
I
saw
a
glint
of
light.
At
first,
it
was
just
a
small
spark
on
the
stone
floor.
Then
it
became
a
yellow
line,
and
a
hand
appeared,
searching
in
the
light.
The
hand
was
white
and
delicate,
moving
around
for
a
minute,
then
it
disappeared,
leaving
only
the
spark
between
the
stones.
The
disappearance
was
brief.
With
a
tearing
sound,
a
stone
turned
over,
revealing
a
hole
with
light
streaming
through.
A
boyish
face
appeared,
looking
around.
The
person
pulled
himself
up
and
helped
a
small,
red-haired
companion
out.
