There was a loud ear-piercing noise that sounded like tape being ripped off its roll. It seemed to grow darker as Maguire sealed up the entrance to the cave. I heard Maguire drive away in his old banger-like police car.

I heard another car approach the entrance to the cave. It was uncle Jim! But how would he get in?

The rope that was tied around my hands was getting looser and looser and looser. Pop! It came off. I quickly unravelled the rope that was tied around my legs and then I untaped my mouth.

"Jade!" I shouted "I'm free.
I quickly made my way over to Jade to unravel her hands and legs and to untape her mouth.

"Yippee!, we're free" Jade yelled. But when we reached the entrance of the cave we found it was blocked up.

"Help! Help!" we yelled. That was it, I suppose we will just have to starve.

It seemed to be getting brighter and I could see half a scissors cutting in through the tape around the edges of the boulders. It was uncle Jim. We're saved. Uncle Jim rang the police and Maguire was driven away in - a flashing police car. We really were saved after all.
