“We swing across," David said, leading the way.

Before anyone could blink, David grabbed the rope, swung

across in a perfect arc, and landed on the other side with

It took them less than five minutes to cross, while Danielle

had spent hours thinking of a way to get past it.

David’s unease grew with each passing second.

agony, unable to help.

pulled out a few silver needles and drove them into the

head of one of the mask-wearers. The weak spot!

wearer appeared behind her, silently preparing to strike.

Xavier, who had been watching Danielle’s every move, saw

In an instant, Xavier was in front of Danielle, taking the full

blow to his chest.
