After some perfunctory arguing - Uncle Mike knew they wouldn't listen - they knew he wasn't really trying to convince them to stay, they all knew he had to make the effort if he was going to live with himself - Sarah and Liam were allowed to grab a city spelunking kit from Verity's supplies and head for the nearest concealed manhole. For her part, Sarah left the weapons behind, taking only a flashlight, some rope, and a backpack full of assorted individually wrapped snacks. There was almost nothing that lived in a sewer that would attack a cuckoo who looked like she was just passing through. There's defense of your territory, and then there's being suicidal.
And, in case Liam's weapons and Sarah's species weren't enough, they had Istas. She was shorter than Sarah in her human form, and she'd never met a pair of practical shoes in her life, but she could take on just about anything, possibly before Liam got his gun out. They were an unstoppable team.
Hopefully, anyway.
With Istas' help, they were able to get the manhole levered out of the way - specifically, 'Istas picked up the manhole and tossed it off to one side, because she was not the most subtle brick in the wall' — ( and descended the ladder to sewer level )
