Consider

Chapter
LXXVI


The ten women in my company were only slightly nervous when we entered the Dungeon Tunnel at the bottom of Tower Three. By the time we'd reached the lower tunnels and were nearing what was normally considered to be the end of Tunnel Three West, I'd have to say they were in quite a sweat. Not that I can say I was cool as a cucumber or anything like that, but the five women we'd just gathered as passengers on our own version of the underground railroad, were nervous.

The five women, of my own harem, were only slightly less nervous, than the new arrivals, the difference being, that my harem had an idea where they were going. That was more than I had, but it was really a small consolation if we were to be caught, but I could see no point in thinking negatively. Not now. Not after having left the City of Towers once, and then come back; and especially not after having found at least two allies on the outside.

One of the end cells had a false wall in the back of it; the questions were, which one, and how does the wall open. Having the answer to just one of those questions would have been pretty handy right now, but what's life without some mystery, risk, intrigue, puzzles; not to mention outright fear. The way I saw it, we were all at risk at the moment because of our involvement in this intrigue. The mystery was if we could figure out the puzzle before us, while our brains were paralyzed with fear.

Was it a lot to ask? Yes! Could we deliver? We didn't know. Were we willing to try? Willing or not, we were trying. Were we in a tight spot? No, not at all, my skirt left it all hang free.

"Just what we need!" I thought, "About to come to the end of our rope, and I'm cracking jokes! Shit, here I am standing in a dungeon and I'm running puns about cracking jokes while I'm trying to escape this place with ten cracks!" I let my mind drift in the cramped space of the dungeon. "If I'd have known I was going caving, I'd have brought my caving gear. On the other hand if I'd have known I was going rock climbing, I d have brought my climbing gear." I still hadn't thought of anything helpful to our present crisis.

"Now what?" one of the women asked when we'd arrived at the end of tunnel Three West. The rest had echoed the question in their eyes.

"For now relax, and post a watch." I'd said.

The door to the inter-tower tunnel network was here. The book I'd started to read on the building of the towers said it was. Unless it had been sealed since then, "Don't think like that," I said to myself.

Just then the look-out padded up and signed for quiet. A guard was coming, so we all stepped into a cell, and were quiet. "Why send a guard all the way down to the end of an unused wing." It didn't make sense at all, but I could hear the footfalls of whoever was coming.

"Shit, now that was stupid." Who ever was out there had a companion, or, they were talking to themselves. "Now I have to go all the way back to get my lunch. Oh well, I guess I need the exercise or I wouldn't have forgotten."

As I heard the footsteps retreat up the passage, I leaned out the door and watched a medium height woman swaying up the slight grade and disappear around the first corner. None of my girls moved until the footsteps had faded into the distance.

After a while, the heads of several women came out of their cells. I was standing, looking at the floor, where I thought the guard had turned around at, then suddenly asked for silence. I got it.

Tamm was in my cell, so I motioned her to come with me and had her stand on the spot I thought the guard had stopped.

"Now. One at a time, starting at the head of the corridor, will each of you go stand on the spot you think the guard stopped.

"Hmmm. We all got about the same impression, the guard was almost to go in that cell." I indicated the second from the end, on the right side, if you were facing towards the end of the corridor.

I entered the cell, and stood in the center. Nothing. I could see nothing. While the women watched, I moved to the cell on the north side of the corridor. It felt and looked the same. I moved to yet another cell and stood in it for a while.

I thought about my old cell, comparing it to these cells. "It's just the same as the one I'd been in for so long, three walls of huge bricks, and the fourth was... That's it!"

I moved back to the cell the guard seemed to have been approaching. "Yes, that's it." It was so obvious, but so hard to see. The back wall of all the cells was made of mother rock. The back wall of this cell was made of the same huge bricks.

I quickly told the women of my discovery. "Now, go look at the cell you're in and see if one of the walls isn't solid stone, and if it isn't, move to another cell before the guard comes back."

Just then the look-out signaled the return of the guard, and we all faded into our cells, but this time I took the one across from the one the guard should enter.

The guard again stopped at the same point, but this time there were no words. Instead she seemed to be making sure she was alone in the corridor, then dove into the cell across from me. I glanced immediately and saw which two rings she was twisting at. I withdrew my head as the stone slid inward, and looked again to see the rings turn two turns in opposite directions.

I went to the stone and inspected the crack around it, "Nice fit." I muttered to myself, then turned the rings. The huge brick slid inward easily. I motioned for Tamm to come and slip through the opening. No sooner had she disappeared, than she signaled that all was clear, and the women slipped into the open hole, one by one.

I counted ten women, and then slipped into the hole. The small stone door was at the end of a cramped passage, so I turned and closed it. As I felt for the handles of the locking rods, I found the reason the stone moved so easily. It was supported on a huge, articulated hinge affair, that bore the weight of the rock. I finally found the handles, and secured the door.

"That's nice," said a voice. "Now how do we see?"

I squeezed by the women, on my way to the front of the line, with Tamm. In the cramped quarters it was impossible to pass without pressing close together, so by the time I'd made it past nine women, they had all been well groped, and so had I.

Tamm was standing at the intersection of the small access hall, and what seemed to be a rather large chamber, I guessed it to be just past the end of the corridor of cells.

From somewhere behind me I heard Tina ask, "Are we having trouble doing it in the dark?" There was a general snicker from the group.

"Which way?" asked Tamm.

Cindy spoke up this time, "Geof likes to use the back door, honey, so don't let him get to close behind you if you don't like it that way."

Another general snicker.

I pressed my cock against Tamm's ass and said, "Either present it, or move it!" Tamm started to move, "To the left, I hope." then over my shoulder, "She's moving it."

Debbie had to have her say also, "Is that circular, or reciprocal movement?"

I spoke over my shoulder, as I held Tamm's ass in my hands, "Neither, it's sort of a bump and shuffle."

Another snicker.

I continued, "I suggest we hang onto each other down here in the dark, so we don't get separated."

One of the new women said, "Boy, he sure is insecure, having to hang on all the time."

Tina finished the exchange with, "I think he was serious, if we get separated, we'll never find each other in the dark!"
