The mechanic twisted at the band about my wrists and removed the cuffs before he left me. He merely locked me in and I was perfectly prisoned.
The door of the little room proved, upon investigation, to be of steel grained like wood; the two windows were tall and mullioned.

I heard through the ceiling the steady pacing of feet and I realized that above me was a similar room confining Pete, probably.
With respect to Pete also, Bane had some idea of his own. Undoubtedly before Pete, as well as before myself, stretched a considerable experience; and before the girl who blamed herself for it all.
Where was she? With Bane? Or locked up like me?
Through the tall slits between the mullions, I inspected the lake and the bit of beach where wheels were being removed from monoplanes
