I braced for a barrage of poisoned needles, but instead the two largest vegerebels took hold of me by the elbows and dragged me toward an open hatch in the floor. The one with the kale mask shoved a backpack at me.\u00a0I put it on quickly, hoping it was a parachute. They tossed me through the hole in the floor before I was done adjusting the straps.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0spire where the zeppelin was moored wasn&#8217;t terribly high, so I pulled the rip cord\u00a0immediately.

I found stairs at the end of the lobby that led up to where the small man was standing. He beckoned me over to the railing and pointed down to where I had just been.
