Solomon had crawled towards an open room. He had been planning to escape by going downstairs, but figured that would be too obvious. He had broken the window in the room with his bare hands due to lack of time, thus his hands were now bleeding (He didn’t much care, the pain in his thigh caught most of his attention). He had jumped out of the window and into the underbrush, making a thud as he landed. He had failed his mission to assassinate Dizbob; there would be no chance Admiral Strato would forgive him. Thus, he must try again, but another time. He was in too poor of a condition to take on Dizbob now. Luckily, his informant has also told him the route they would be taking in the morning, with some luck he would be in better condition by then and could plan an ambush, or hire someone to do it.
Firesword had ran towards where he had heard the window break. The light of a half moon shone through the broken window. He could see shards of glass lying on the floor. He glanced outside; the window was facing the wilderness. If Solomon had escaped through here (and had taken the rather high fall), there would be no way Firesword would be able to spot him in there at night. Firesword walked back to where 4I Falcon and Dizbob were standing. Now how are we going to explain this to the local police…he thought. At least Dizbob and 4I Falcon were safe. For the moment.

Well, chapter 5 is done. Hopefully I havent overlooked any errors. Since I posted quite a bit of posts at the same time, just scroll up until where I posted chapter 4. (Or the first post I did on August 3/4 depending on where you live).
Edit: To clear things up, the small side notes (marked by an asterisk, or otherwise identifiable by the small text which they are written in) were originally put into the bottom of every page (in microsoft word) to be out of the way. They are necessary and explain some backround to certain topics. Unfortunately, JCF doesnt work like a book or Microsoft word so there is no pages for them to be at the bottom of, thus they look out of place. Try to ignore that they do, if you can. If this would be a story written in a book, the side notes would appear on the bottom of the page where the asterisk is at.
