Wells dwelt the long corridors, went outside every once in a while (whatever outside really meant here, since this base is settled inside a huge dome), met and reported to the other two agents,... he's bored out of his skull here!

Up on the top floor, leaning against the railing, where there's a good view of the entire base, is where he could be found at some point that night. Or whatever you'd call night on the moon. This was one thought that kept Wells busy during this boring night.

"Aren't you supposed to be patrolling!?" a voice called at him.

Wells didn't need to turn around to find out who talked to him, he had heard this voice only once before. It belonged to Ban's formal commander Gyoku Rou.

"I am patrolling!" Wells replied without looking at the commander, "I can see a whole lot from up here."

Gyoku moved closer, making his footsteps sound as if he had three feet. That sound surprised Wells enough for him to turn around, and see him using a cane. Though it wasn't the cane that seemed peculiar to Wells.

"A little accident years ago." Gyoku said, as if Wells had asked him what the cane was for.

"Did I ask?" Wells replied.

Whatever looked like a grin appeared on Gyoku's face, as he said: "Not much of a talker, are you?"

"I have my moments." Wells answered.

"That is off course why you chose an ESPer to be..." Gyoku added, but Wells interrupted.

"Do you mind! She's a person! Okay?"

Gyoku tried to keep a conversation running though: "You know, as a subordinate, you shouldn't put up a tone like that!"

"I assume that's what you like most about being a commander, right?" Wells replied, sounding dry as usual, "You can say and do anything you like, and nobody should complain! Or else...!"

This made Gyoku realize something different: "You're not particularly fond of cops, are you?"

"Need I ask what gave you that idea?!" Wells asked, though he hardly sounded like he wanted an answer.

"But if you don't like cops..." Gyoku asked, "... why did you become one yourself?"

Wells sighed before answering: "I didn't have much of a choice."

"Says who?" Gyoku suddenly became a guidance counselor, "You always have a choice in live!"

"Says he who belongs to the group who gave me no choice!" Wells remarked.

Gyoku didn't understand: "What do you mean!"

"It means that I don't need a cop's advice about choices!" Wells sounded pretty angry.

"Very well then!" Gyoku answered, "I must say that I'm..."

A loud bang is what interrupted his sentence. Wells had seen the cause of the bang, and got up as if waking from a trance.

"What was that?" Gyoku asked.

"An explosion at one of the mines!" Wells answered, as he took out his license and alerted the rest of his team.

Gyoku did the same for his team.

After a certain period of time, Wells, along with the other six and the two Fire Squad officers, had arrived at the scene. Fire was everywhere, people were trapped under rocks, and all of the equipment were shooting sparks. If that wasn't enough, most of the mine was collapsing. It wasn't easy for anyone to do anything to help the people inside, but they managed to save some of them anyway. At long last, they had helped everyone out. But just in case, the Earth Branch had checked the mine for more people.

"Think that's everyone!" Tetsu shouted.

"Let's get out of here!" Hoji commanded.

As everyone was leaving, there was another explosion, and more rocks were falling down at a faster rate.

"Faster! Faster!" Ban shouted at everyone, thinking his message didn't come through to anyone. Then again, he didn't really need to say this to make anyone go faster. Suddenly there was a cry for help, which they all heard.

"Someone's still here!" Sen screamed.

Wells, who wasn't as near to the exit as anyone else, figured he should be the one to go back, and though he was a bit reluctant, so he did.

He could've sworn someone shouted something at him, but he didn't understand it, nor did he care much.

"Bill! Bill!!!" Jasmine kept shouting at him, as the rest of the team nearly had to drag her out.

Wells took a quick look, but found no one, nor did he hear anything anymore either. He decided to turn back.

"What is that westerner doing?" Ban remarked, as he was already out of the mine.

Nobody wanted to say anything to this. Then again, even if anyone wanted to say anything, it would have still been inappropriate. They all witnessed Wells trying to get out, but tripping over something, and... nobody could see what happened next, since that's when the entrance to the mine, and likely the entire mine, collapsed.

Many things came to Jasmine's mind to say, to shout, to see wether her boyfriend would respond, but for some reason the shock of witnessing this caused her to lose her voice. At last she shouted his name, and ran to where the mine was, and tried to dig him out. It took the entire team to restrain her.

"Let me go! He needs our help!" she yelled at her friends.

"And we will help him! But this would make it worse for him!" Sen tried to reason with her.

It still took a few minutes to calm her down. Though, instead of calming down, she collapsed, and burst into tears.
