I rushed up the block. There were rows after rows of large blue metal doors inches of steel thick. In each door was a small window to allow the occupant to be watched. C Behind the tiny windows you could see lots of people, on the walls of one cell were lots of equations scribbled on the wall. I kept shouting for Mom and eventually I got to the cell where the observation hatch was open and inside was Mom, Dad and my sister.
"General Samuel?" said  my Dad's voice coldly "what by Einstein's brain do you want now?"
I looked about there were a couple of real prison guards who were standing around and rather too close to the large alarm buttons for comfort. I watched as the rest of my 'pretend' troops arrived with Sam.
I had been comfortably on a roll so far. I thought my improvisation of a rescue was going pretty well but suddenly I dried up. How do you explain that you are their daughter is there disguised as the one guy they all hate with out letting the prison guards know? I looked around.
"You," I said pointing at Marta.
"Sir Yes Sir," said Marta saluting with her gun.
"Explain to these people what I'm going to do with them," I said.
Marta came up. My plan was they would recognise Marta and get the hint.
"Wow you look just like Kaitlyn's best friend," said Mom as she saw Marta.
"Don't be stupid?" said Dad "what would Marta be doing here?"
Mom turned to dad in the cell "I didn't say she WAS Marta I just said she looked like her. There is a difference. So it's not stupid" Said Mom. Clearly, the last five years had taken a toll.
'Fantastic I'm improvising an escape like the I'm the John Coltrain of escapology and all I've managed to do is start a family argument' I thought.
"Your daughter is not a million miles away from here," said Marta waving her eyes towards me.
This was enough to give me inspiration.
"Yes, your daughter is coming to rescue you all. I'm going to move you to a safer location" I said through the voice box.
"My daughter is coming to rescue me..us here?" Said Dad "I can promise you general that no matter how dumb you get, my daughter would never be dumb enough to set foot in here."
"Yeah, he's right. I don't think my daughter would be stupid enough to come and rescue us. Even if she got in, Â getting out is impossible" said Mom.
I looked at Marta. She rolled her eyes.
I went back to the small cell window.
"I know your daughter loves you very much," I said "she would move heaven and earth to make you safe. She would even walk through the gates of hell to rescue you."
"No she wouldn't," said Mom flatly contradicting me and not getting the hint.
Marta walked over to the prison guard, While I tried to convince my parents I would be where I was.
"I think we are going to be here for a while. That's a nice baton" said Marta to the tall prison guard. "Can I feel it?"
"Sure," said the prison guard pulling out the baton and extending it then handing it over to Marta.
"Nice weight," said Marta waving the stick around.
The other of Sam's troops we had brought over along with Ness and Sam. Were standing around wondering what we were up to. They didn't know because I was improvising this rescue.
"Don't you look at a lady like that?" said the first guard to Sam who was looking at Marta. The second guard took out his baton and hit Sam on the head. Sam dropped to the floor. Marta looked down.
"You killed him!" lied Marta pointing at the stunned Sam.
"It wasn't me," said the guard getting down. The second guard came over away from the wall where the alarm button was. "I'm sure we can fix him," said the other.
Using the second guard's baton Marta hit both of them. They both fell to the ground.
"That was a boring conversation anyway. Luke we have got company," said Marta hoping I would get the star wars reference.
"Dad it's me," I said.
Dad looked at me his head slightly to one side in confusion.
"Is'nt the general a little short to be an imperial storm trooper?" said Marta to my family while she pulled the keys off the guard and tried to unlock the door. I think the second star wars quote went over his head too.
The cell door opened.
"Last on in the pool is a rotten egg" I said pulling a quote from my childhood.
"Kaitlyn?" Said, Mom.
"The very same. I haven't got time to explain" I said. I pointed to the remains of Sam's troops who were with me.
"Meet the army of the possessed. I gave them the remains of the cure you left" I said.
"Really?" said Mom walking over to one of them. "My cure? Have you felt any signs of nausea, upset stomach, constipation, headaches, anxiety, sleep problems (insomnia), drowsiness, dizziness, nervousness, heart palpitations, loss of appetite or increase in appetite, weight changes, cold symptoms (stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat), dry mouth,Inability to breathe, excessive nasal mucous, auroral hypersensitivity, vomiting, varicose veins, darkened stool, singulotis, akathisia or chronic inflammation, nausea, upset stomach, constipation hang on I've done nausea already."
"I don't think so" said one of our guys.
"Not bad" said Mom pleased with her own brilliance.
"How on earth do you expect to get out of here?" Ask dad. "we are deep in the prison within the Pentagon, which is deep within the fortress of Overworld."
"Put him in there," I said indicating that they should put Sam in the prison. "Gag him and tie his hands up. Just to be on safe side."
"That's a shame" said Marta "I hear he plays a mean harmonica"
Were other prisoners in the cells next door. We unlocked their doors and told them to keep them closed until they heard the alarms going off. Then in the confusion, there would be so many people they should easily be able to escape. I looked at the two unconscious guards as they were dragged roughly into another white walled cell.
"I was hoping that they would be able to tell me where Alexander was," I said regretfully.
"No problem. He is in the next block along," said my sister while she hugged me. "I saw him on the way to the shower"
We began walking towards the next block. For some reason, my heart jumped like a newborn lamb at springtime.
My parents hung behind and I walked into the next block through a door at the end of the corridor. It was a right angle to the one I had just been along. There were two more guards and they also thought I was General Samuel and 'friends'. I ordered them to go to take me to Alexander's cell. There sitting the cell was Alexander he was sitting on a grey blanket on his bed looking at the wall. He turned his head and looked back.
"Oh you" he said. It wasn't the look I wanted but I remembered to him I was still the General.
I stepped in "What do you know about Kaitlyn?" I asked.
