Lockridge who is Lynx leads his few people through a portal into a time corridor just before the portal is about to close, then leads this small group back out through the same portal just after it has opened. Thus, they use the same portal twice and do not have to travel along the corridor but wind up twenty-five years pastward. Thus also, they elude Storm who does not know where they have gone and who cannot now use the vanished portal either to pursue them or to seek them out. Also, they have gained twenty-five years in which to prepare themselves to mount the attack on Storm which had enabled their younger selves to escape and to make their way to the portal. We have not quite reread to the end of The Corridors... but we are also trying to do some other reading this evening.
