Where can she go? Can she even hope to lose him on the grounds? ...maybe in the hedge maze? Or...
The glass enclosure catches her eye, and she changes direction for it. There's a door. If there's a door, there might be a lock.
If she can lock the door, maybe she can outlast this until morning. They can work this out. The Blotters are going to kill someone, and he's already done his assignment, the Crafters will have ink spilled, they don't have to spill hers too--
Her hands are shaking as she ducks inside and fumbles with the door.
