Chapter 2: |Secrets in the Dark|
He slipped quietly out of the room, tucking his now-empty wallet in his back pocket. He'd left more than she required, but he wasn't in the mood to care. He had things to do today, and he was in a hurry to get them done. Having made his way out of the run-down apartment building, he slipped into a darkened alleyway. The first hints of dawn were touching the sky as he lifted the sewer cover at the end. Like a night creature fleeing the agony of light, he dropped into the darkness and pulled the cover back, hiding the darkness from the light.
Legolas grimaced as he splashed down into the sewers; no matter how many times he did this, he never got used to the smell. It was, however, and undeniable fact of life, and he'd just have to deal with it. He followed the winding and branching paths of the underground for what seemed like hours, crawling around in the dark and filth for a secret. And a secret he would find, although it be not the one he sought.
