Irial watched closely, his eyes never leaving the dial. He didn't hear any click, but when Ari spoke, he released the breath he was holding and focused on the number.
"One," he said. "The pointer's pointing to the first notch. Ari..you've got to do this. I think we're running out of time." Swallowing hard, he allowed his brother to attempt to find the second number. "You better get this right, Ari..." he muttered, more to himself than the guy he was chained to.
