At first we thought he might be hiding in some dark corner but, joining hands and walking the whole floor space, which was only about twenty metres square, we realized he was missing. We climbed the rude ladder, Fridjt first, fully expecting the exit to be blocked and a triumphant Tangiia to be jeering at us from the outside. As we neared the exit, no light greeted us and Fridjt said, ‘He’s done it. We’re locked in.’ Panic surged through my chest, but just as it was about to gain control of my limbs Fridjt shouted, ‘It’s all right. It’s night and the hole’s clear.’ We stumbled gratefully out onto the ridge. It occurred to me only later that Tangiia could have been waiting with a weapon, and have pounced then. It would only have been necessary to finish Fridjt. Stella and I were no match for him and could have been left for later. The three of us made our way through the trees and finally came upon Tangiia. He was sitting with his back towards us, in front of a fire, and his hands were free.
