[ You're herded into what would be the hallway but instead it's another room - a smaller version of the bedroom. Except on the bed is six glass boxes, each with a pretty impressive padlock keeping them shut.

What may be more interesting however is that in each glass box is a bodypart of your 'damsel'. One box for the head, one for the left hand, one for the right hand, one for the left foot, one for the right foot and one long box for the torso and limbs of course.

On the windowsill (if you take time to look out the window you'll see that the streets are filled with people, angry, milling about. . . though not doing anything?) there are six shotglasses, three of which have keys in them. ]

I did say it was a puzzle, yes? Sometimes I can't remember what I've told you. Anyway, they keys won't do you any good until we're done with the rounds, of course. There will be three rounds to 'steal' and then a round for 'desperation' that sounds like fun. How much will you be willing to give . . .?

I told Cleo that Bella once told me she did things like this in games, too.

I know its unpleasant. But I vote for doing it, and taking three keys.

. . . do you think she would be mad if we took any less?

[On one hand, she'd really not like to see Bella needlessly maimed. But she also knows that this is clearly hurting these two just as bad.]

...No. I think she would understand.
