123 Through the Gate

"John? Was John here!?" Clay shouted in surprise. Leo was calm and spoke in an even voice.

"Yes, John was here. I didn't say anything because I wanted to talk with all of you about it first. I'm not so sure John wants to be rescued..."

Clay reacted aggressively towards Leo's assumption "What do you mean! Why wouldn't he want to be rescued!?"

"You need to calm down. If they hear us talking then they'll know we didn't tell them everything." Leo said.

Clay took a deep breath and leaned back against his seat " Alright...please just tell us what happened."

Leo looked at Cain and Rene "You two arrived before I did, you should probably explain how John ended up like that."

"Yeah, okay..." Cain said as he gathered his thoughts "Inside the big room with the stone tablet..."

"Altar. I'm pretty sure it was an altar." Rene interrupted.
