Rewritten Part 5

Griffin's fingers twitched with anticipation. He and Gemini had been planning the escape for a while. It was much simplified because they could send coded messages with their old names.
"Hey, do you remember that Fear and Sally are moving into apartment 1030? Gemini would say. Griffin would then quickly glance at the clock.
"Oh yeah, I remember that."
The reason they could get by with this was regular contact with friends and family, so "our friends told us" was a plausible excuse for knowledge of the outside world.
Griffin slowly exhaled. Focus, focus, focus, focus...
"Yo, guard. Can I borrow your newspaper?" he yelled.
"Whatever," was the reply.
CRASH!
That was Gemini's part. She was supposed to use her powers of being in two places at once to cause a distraction.
The guard ran off.
Griffin carefully put the newspaper, The New Humanity, in the key hole of his cell. Focus, focus, focus, focus...
He slowly forced the paper back through time. Focus, focus, focus, focus...
POP!
The New Humanity had been turned into a piece of wood that had conveniently been shaped like the key for his jail cell. Perfect.
Moments later, Gemini had teleported out of her cell and they were both free. Now all they needed to do was leave the jail. Easier said then done.
