Astra's Theory

"Holy Cow!" Marlene exclaimed.

It was a rather unfortunate choice of words in view of what had happened. Astra glared at her for a moment. "I can only think of one explanation," she said. "A wizard or demon, or some other being with great magical ability and a literally wicked sense of humour, has been eavesdropping on our conversation, and decided that this would be funny."

1. A voice says: "Quite right." Then the owner of the voice materialises, seemingly out of thin air.
2. One of the supposed BLF agents says: "Actually that was us. We made up that nonsense about being BLF agents. We are really demons."
3. The BLF agents let Marlene and Astra out of the cell.
4. Unbelievably, the BLF agents are still only willing to rescue Marlene.
5. Astra asks the BLF agents if they can lend her a knife to use on her costume. Modesty is going to have to take a back seat, if she isn't to faint from her difficulty in breathing.
