Jenny McBride:
There are guards everywhere. Watching our every move. We're trapped. And I thought NIMH was a prison!
[the door opens and Mr. Ages walks in the room]
Mr. Ages:
Um... Ms. McBride. I've made a bed for you in the observatory. I hope you'll be comfortable. Good night children. Sorry to keep you a prisoner.
[Mr. Ages walks out of the room and closes the door]
Jenny McBride:
I've got to get out of here somehow. Of course it would be a lot easier with some help.
17 Year Old Tim:
Oh well. They just don't want you telling anyone on the outside about us. Wait a second? How did you know about Thorn Valley?
[Jenny gathers clothes and ties each one into a rope]
Jenny McBride:
When I was little, I remember a mouse in the cage next to ours telling my parents how the rats that escaped from NIMH settled in a place called Thorn Valley. And if any of us ever escaped we should promise to go there and ask the rats for help. Yeah right!
17 Year Old Tim:
But how did you ever find it?
Jenny McBride:
I remember him saying, it was south, by south, by south.
17 Year Old Tim:
Martin, said that.
Jenny McBride:
You know I've forgotten, but I think that was his name. How did you know?
17 Year Old Tim:
[Tim pulls up a letter and reads it]
Martin's my brother. My moms letter said he disappeared. She had no idea what happened to him.
Jenny McBride:
Well, he's at NIMH.
17 Year Old Tim:
No! Martins at NIMH? They captured him! Is he alright?
[Jenny ties off a rope of clothes to the balcony]
Jenny McBride:
I hope so. Besides, they just took him away right after that.
17 Year Old Tim:
Wait! Maybe if I tell Justin about Martin I mean... I could try to.
Jenny McBride:
Tim. You've got to have the courage to follow your heart. I'll say hi for you when I get back to NIMH.
[Jenny begins to climb down the clothes rope]
17 Year Old Tim:
You mean when we get there. I have to save my brother.
[Jenny smiles]
