They didn't speak a word to each other as they moved through the wall.
"Where are we at?" Howl whispered.
Shadow shook his head, ignoring his question...thankfully, Max answered. He didn't need to talk to anyone. He shouldn't.
Suddenly, he could no longer hear his friends. He grumbled to himself and looked over his shoulder. "Are you coming or not?"
Max then said. "We found Mica."
"Let him rot..." Shadow ordered.
"He could help us..." Howl persuaded. The black wolf groaned as he managed to turn around and go back to them.
Max peered through a hole in the wall, Howl was right next to him. Rose held back a little ways. Shadow looked at her. He heard Howl and Rose's conversation behind the wall.....

Minutes ago......
Shadow and Max slipped through a hidden door in the dungeon, next to Ebony's cell.
He decided to change into the black wolf, while Max remained in his current form. They traveled through the endless tunnel. They peeked through every peephole, Shadow found one, but there were two voices talking to each other.
It sounded like Rose and Zack!
What were they talking about?
Shadow looked at Max, who was way ahead of him, looking through other peepholes. The black wolf turned back to the wall and pressed his ear against it.
His heart then sank when he knew what they were saying to each other. He growled, trying to push away the guilt that was slipping into his soul. He fought it off. Max looked down at Shadow with concern.
"Everything alright?"
"Just open the damn door." Shadow mumbled. Max felt around for a crack in the wall and slid the hidden door open.

She doesn't get it. He thought to himself. She never does......but I can't blame her for that.......she doesn't know...
When she looked at Shadow, she reached out her hand to comfort him, but he shook his head, and walked away from her.
