Snippet #1393699

Ray was just reaching over to release the locks and chains from the imprisoned man when a voice behind him almost made him jump out of his skin. He almost shouted, but quickly caught himself and looked back with wide, blue eyes at the intruder. He was met with a familiar face of an acquainted--a man named Enzo that Ray had met on many occasions and spoken to in passing. "What are you doing?" he asked in a hushed voice, looking around quickly to make sure they hadn't yet been noticed. He sighed to calm his nerves and turned back to Sikes with a calmer expression. "Yes yes, my apologies, sir. You'll be tasting freedom in no time."

Twisting the chains a little more, Ray realized he was too weak to snap them himself. He frowned in frustration and decided to just go ahead and snap his fingers, his hands becoming enveloped in a gleaming light that he used to zap through the metal chains and snap them right off the man in the wagon. Standing back, he smiled proudly of his work. "You, sir, are free to go. You should hurry, though." Ray removed his dark hooded jacket, risking revealing himself, and handed it over to Sikes. "Put this on so you can sneak through the crowd and escape."
