Consecrate
Exultant
Glove
Ladybug
WHAT KEPT YOU?
"No-one, not even the illustrious Napoleon Solo, will find this cave, Mr. Kuryakin. You will die here. It's consecrated ground; natives fear it."
Illya had been in worse situations. Yet the exultant look on his captor's face, as he held the axe in his black-gloved hand, poised to cleave Illya in two, chilled him.
The man was demented. He could not be reasoned with. Nonetheless, he must try.
He spotted a ladybug and gambled. "Our Lady."
His captor turned, glanced down and momentarily froze.
It was all Illya needed.
"What kept you?" he demanded, when a bedraggled, suit-torn Napoleon appeared.
