Max sighed and looked at Zack.

  Shadow looked at Mica. The red eyed wolf glared at him. "You done?"

  Shadow ignored him, and turned to his friends. "Are we sure this was all of us in the castle?"

  Mica nodded.

  "So they must be outside...." Shadow confirmed. He walked up to the entrance. Max catches him. The black wolf looked at him.

  "You're still weak, if Azazel shows back up, you'll be dead! We'll get to them, but I think we should do what Mica says and follow him."

  Shadow sighed to himself, and looked at Max again. He nodded.

  "Okay, we'll follow you." Max told the red eyed wolf. Mica excitedly led the way, while the others followed. Shadow stayed behind the group. Zack and Max looked behind them.

  After a while, they reached the old base. Mica sighed peacefully as he looked at the Thief's lair.

  He proudly looked behind him to see the rest of the pack. He nodded.

  "So, what do you think? Cozy?"

  The room was wide, and empty. It was spacious enough to put a hundred people there.

  Max smiled. Shadow looked around for an exit. Mica shook his head.

  "You're no fun, Shadow!"

  The black wolf ignored him as he scanned the room, hoping to find some sort of exit. He changed and ran his hands along the walls. He then looked at Max and Zack with worry.

  "We NEED to find them!" Shadow said.

  Max nodded as he looked at Mica. "Exit?" Slowly, the red eyed wolf pointed to a wall behind him. "That's a hidden door."

  "How do we open it?" Zack asked him.

  Mica pointed to the stand in front of them. "Move the podium, the lever's right underneath."

  Max did so, and he pulled the lever, causing one part of the wall to split in two, forming a passage. Mica nodded.

  "That leads further inside the mountain, it's going to be a little walk, but we'll get to them in time."

  Shadow then declared. "Let's move, then."
