jumped up. There were people already heading for the main gate. We all tried to see what they were presenting to the

guards.

‘The flag got denied,’ Sam said.

‘As did the apple and the bottle,’ Amie said.

“Oh, she got through,’ Jake excitedly pointed out.

‘Did you see what she gave them?’ I asked.

‘It looked like a spoon.’

‘Someone tried a fork and it was denied,’ Ramses said.
