Ash Mistry And The Savage Fortress - Plot & Excerpts
said John. “Rajiv’s on door duty, but I told him I’d cover for him while he sneaked off to see Padmi.” “Let’s go, Lucks.” John went down the stairs first, Lucky next and Ash behind. It was one o’clock and pretty much everyone in the Lalgur was asleep. The door was open to one of the larger rooms, where a whole bunch of kids slept, sprawled over the floor on thin mattresses. A rusty old fan cranked in the corner. If the other kids could sleep through that, then Ash’s soft footsteps weren’t going to wake them. But in a building with about fifty people in it, there was always a chance someone was wandering off to the toilet or to find a midnight snack. A mat lay beside the door with a half-finished bowl of plain rice on top of it. Otherwise the small lobby was empty. Ash pulled back the heavy iron bolt. The metal screamed. He stopped dead. “Shut up!” hissed Lucky, thumping him on the arm. “Why not just bang a gong and tell everyone we’re going?” “Sorry.” They listened in fearful silence, waiting for the sound of feet on flagstones and expecting Rajiv or, worse, Ujba, to come running in.
