Chapter 13: Infiltration
After I wake up in the dark I start moving, slowly, painfully. My body protests every move as I begin trying to get out of the crevice I squirmed into last night or whenever that was.
My body continues to protest but I keep moving, relying on my senses to move through the dark tunnel.
As I continue on I hear people talking and force myself to blend into the surrounding rock, pressing myself up against it and hoping that no one sees me. Whoever they are walk past me and continue on their way.
"Heard that some crazy jumped into the shaft and went through the water grate…" I hear one say as they move on.
"Yeah I heard the same and now we have to find the sap…" I another grumbles.
"If its alive," the other laughs.
I flinch, well they know I'm in here so I have to be more careful now…getting out of here with Nel and Raph is going to be even harder…

Hours pass as I search along the walls, managing to find more tunnels and work through them toward the areas that I'm sure my family is being held. I have to go slowly because of my injuries. Then, wincing as my body protests, I turn a corner and find a set of rooms around me.
I shift nervously as I walk toward the rooms. I hear people shuffling around and talking softly.
Nervously I glance around and start moving.
"HEY!" I hear.
I whip around and make a break for the end of the hallway, seconds later I am grabbed and roughly slammed to the ground.
I twist and buck, kick and bite, frantic to get away.
Something hit's the back of my head and I'm gone.
I'm sorry…
