Trooper Station, Monday Evening

The phones were, unsurprisingly considering the state of the island, ringing off the hook at the trooper station today. Which meant Vimes was even more tetchy* than normal in responding to the troopers.

"No, we don't know where the godsdamned maze came from," he snapped, fastening his dented, but well used helmet in place. "Just tell them to stop wandering into mysterious places that have appeared overnight."

Ralph looked from him and then back to the phone slowly, as if hoping he might say that himself.

Vimes simply gave him another look and grabbed his truncheon. "Tell them to find a ball of thread before attempting to prune themselves from the family tree then." A ball of thread seemed about right for the circumstances.

Possibly a minotaur...

*Tetchy being a polite way to say 'YOU HORRID HORRID LITTLE MAN' without shrieking.
