He pulled a set of small screwdrivers out of his pocket and set to work, opening the panel and fiddling with the insides. To anyone else it might look like he was just messing, but Ben knew exactly what he was doing.
Outside, another car pulled up and Bob called back to Much. "Another car!" Michael climbed out and showed Bob his detective shield. "It's a cop!"
"Go see Michael," Tuck told Much. "Ben will be working on his way in here anyway and we're going to need help getting us all out of here." Mostly he wasn't sure Scarlet could walk at all, and as far as he went, he didn't know if he had the energy to get up the stairs.
