Chapter 5
     
    Red and Fixx found Tom among the clutter and
wreckage of the jail’s lunch room. Outside, police and ambulance
sirens blared.
    “Doesn’t appear we had any serious
injuries,” Red told him. “A broken arm or two and a few heads given
knots, but luckily someone pulled the main fire alarm before the
wall exploded.”
    “Stone escaped,” Tom said.
    “I guess the Vampire Council must really
want him back,” Red said looking at the large hole in the side of
the building.
    “No,” Tom said. “Pandora is behind
this.”
    “ What’d you find
out?”
    As they headed upstairs, Tom told Red
everything he’d learned, showing him the picture of Pandora with
Titan and how they had asked Fixx if Stone was allowed to have
visitors.
    When they reached the desk sergeant’s desk,
a crowd of reporters and photographers had pushed their way into
the creaking building and were shouting questions and flashing
camera bulbs in people’s faces.
    “Can’t believe I’m going to do this,” Red
said when a reporter ran up to him and asked what had happened.
“This fine creature here,” he said grabbing Fixx and pulling him
closer as bulbs flashed in their faces, “saved many lives today
when he ran into the station and pulled the fire alarm so that
people would step out their offices before the wrecking ball
smashed into the building.”
    “That’s not exactly true,” Tom leaned
forward and whispered in Red’s ear as reporters started peppering
Fixx with questions - Wasn’t he the same hobgoblin that helped with
the capture of Jack the Ripper? How did he know the wrecking ball
was about to come through the wall?
    “Someone pulled the alarm,” Red told Tom as
he stepped away from Fixx. “Nobody else has taken credit for it, so
we might as well let Fixx play the hero. What was he doing with you
anyway?”
    “Pandora went to see him, so I went to see
him and that’s when I figured out what she was up to.”
    “Why’d she go to see him?”
    “She knows Fixx from before. They both are
from the U.R.R.K. She saw his picture in the paper recently, so she
went to him, thinking he could help her find a golem by the name of
Titan.”
    “Fixx is from the U.R.R.K.?”
    “Sure is.”
    The newspaper men were still peppering Fixx
with questions when Red grabbed him and pulled him away. “I got
some questions of my own for you,” he told him, leading Fixx toward
the stairs.
    “Your phone’s ringing,” Tom told Red as they
were headed toward the inspectors’ offices.
    “Probably some reporter,” Red said, in no
hurry to answer it.
    The inspectors’ offices looked like someone
had been in a rage there. The desks had all slid toward the north
wall, pictures and broken glass lay on the floor, one cabinet file
had fallen over spilling its contents across the floor.
    Red’s office was likewise a mess, a chair
was tipped over and some items had slid across his desk when this
floor and the one below had slipped about a foot, but overall the
building seemed sturdy enough, although the floor was slanted now
like a funhouse.
    “Chief Inspector Meriwether speaking,” Red
said picking the phone up. Tom watched as a puzzled look came
across his face. “Maybe you should turn yourself in,” he said into
the phone. “No, no one was hurt. Why would you help Stone escape?
You have a nice day too, because you’ll be spending the rest of
them never seeing the sun again when I arrest you – Pandora.”
    “Pandora?” Tom repeated.
    “That was her,” he said hanging up the
phone.
    “What’d she want?”
    “She wanted to know if anyone was hurt.”
    “What did she say when you asked her why she
helped Stone escape?”
    “She said she needed him, but that she would
see to it that he never caused any trouble here
