For nearly two months now Magpie has been stuck inside the cell in Combe-Jail, with just enough room to do a somersault or two! Though for too long has Bree been without merriment! Who would be there to make people laugh? To make dogs fall in love with horses? And most importantly.. to annoy Barliman?!
Against the wall Magpie started to draw, using just a simple stone to draw the most elaborate escape plan ever seen in Bree, or the North infact!
It started, as usual, with Magpie behind bars, with a watcher just an arms reach away with the key! The much much needed key! And so! The plan was to dig a hole, using the raw muscle that was contained within the Magpie's arms as he would dig a tunnel leading him right underneath the massive key that lay waiting on the floor him, though he had to make sure the watcher was asleep of course! After that, it was simple.. up he popped through the hole he made, as silent as a dead bull in a glassblowers shop! After that, an easy push of the chair into the cell and locking the door after filling in the hole with whatever he could find!
The time was now! The plan was ready and the watcher was asleep! Down the magpie bent, as his ''large bearlike'' hands ripped into the stone below! Or so he thought would happen.. huh.. seems this floor was Magpie-proof! The plan was foiled.. what else to do now but use the great brain of the man to decide what to do next.
Light was shining through somewhere.. but where?! Magpie looked over the floor, and the ceiling before he turned around, and there on the wall was a perfectly placed window! "Strange for 'em to give prisoners a window.. but kind o' 'em! They get a lovely view!" He pushed it open and hauled a leg out, after leaving a kind present of a smiling face in the wall! He hopped down into the bushes, grinning widely as he cheered and whistled in victory!
"Eh?! Where did he go?", was shouted out from inside the jail. Magpie's eyes widened, and he sped off in a run to the safest place he knew.. the Pony!
