"Get ready kid, I'm not going to repeat myself. There's a secret entrance into Persephone but to open it you'll have to get to the basement and start up the generators. But it'll take a massive jolt of electricity to get that puppy started. You get all that sport?"

"Yeah, I got it, but how do I get to the basement?"

"There's an elevator a little further in, but you'll probably have to hack it to get it to go down."

Landon sighed. "Okay, is that all?"

"Yes, that's about it. Remember your part of the bargain kid."

"No problems there."

Landon turned to the others. "Did you get that?"

"Yeah."

Landon grabbed a gun. "Search the place, look for the elevator."

They spread out in groups, Antony and Brendan, Walter and Jimmy, Landon and Mark. Mark looked back at Mr. Bastone. "Are you coming?"

He shook his head. "I- ...No... I can never go back there... too many... bad memories."

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Bastone sighed. "Persephone was a holding facility for people Andrew Ryan considered to be enemies of Rapture... I was also incarcerated... terrible things happened down there... TERRIBLE things... now that I'm finally out... I will NEVER go back there..."

Mark stiffened. "What terrible things?"

"They used the prisoners down there for experiments. Sinclair rented the inmates out for plasmid trials... so many died, others went insane. And some were forced into servitude... as the monsters you know as Big Daddies..."

"What about my daughter? And all the other little girls?"

"Whatever Sofia Lamb is doing to the Little Sisters... is beyond me. But no doubt it's not pleasant..."

Mark grabbed Landon's arm. "Let's go."

They ran into the facility Mark never slowing down. "Damn! Where is it!"

"Calm down, we'll find it!"

"I can't calm down! Not after what that WOMAN did to my daughter..."

"It's okay Mark..."

"No it's not! I SAW her... my little girl... she was drinking blood and... oh god Cindy..."

Landon didn't know what to say, and he knew nothing he could say would help Mark... OR his daughter. The only way he could do that, was by saving her from Lamb.

"Landon! We've found the elevator on the top floor, Antony's working on it now."

"We'll be right there."

Landon and Mark went to the top floor where the others were waiting.

"You know for a big company this place is really small." Jimmy called out.

Mr. Bastone handed Antony another tool. "This is only half of the building, the lower half in inaccessible at this time. Not that you'd want to go down there."

Landon butted in ."Why not?"

"Because it's being controlled by a man named 'Gilbert Alexander' or as he likes to be called 'Alex the Great'! He's, unfortunately, gone very mental."

"Then we'll do our best to avoid him."

"I've got it!" Antony called out. "It should take us to the basement now."

"What about the other elevator?"

Antony stood up. "Not sure, it's not broken. I think it might be stuck at the bottom."

"Right, let's go."

The elevator was small so they had to go down one at a time. Landon was the last. "You sure you won't come?"

Mr. Bastone shook his head. "Yes. But... good luck."

"You too." Landon stepped in the elevator and pressed the button.

But when he was half way down it slowed to a stop.

Antony's voice came in over the radio. "Landon? Landon, what's going on in there?"

"I don't know!"

Then Landon caught sight of something moving in the darkness. Then a Big Sister emerged from the shadows and punched the glass outside the elevator. But it looked different than any Big Sister he's seen before. It was taller, and on its left hand was a shotgun mounted on its arm.

"Hello Landon." Sofia Lamb again, over the radio. "You've proven yourself to be quite resourceful. But no longer."

The Big Sister let out a screech. "At first I was skeptical about using such an older specimen for the Big Sister process, I thought there would be some complications, but it was a complete success. She's not as fast as the others, nor can she use plasmids, but she has far more fire power than any of the others. As a former little sister, I thought this fate was fitting..."

Landon's heart was racing. What was she talking about?

"She failed to kill you on the train but I doubt you'll be so lucky this time..."

The Big sister grabbed the elevator and ripped it out of the wall, with Landon inside and threw it. Landon jumped out just in time to land on a beam. He heard the elevator crash below as the Big Sister came at him again, trying to stab him with the needle on its arm.

He ran back jumping from one beam to another. Trying to dodge the needle, then when he was across from her she lifted her arm and pointed the shotgun at him.

His mind was racing. What was Lamb trying to...

He lost his footing and fell back just as the Big Sister opened fire, then it jumped off the beam coming after him. Landon hit the water below hard. The beam wasn't as high as he thought and the water broke his fall but it still hurt.

The Sister landed on him, forcing him down under the water, drowning him.

He looked up at her from the water; Landon lifted his leg up and pushed it off him, and ran out of the water.

But he was tackled again, and the Sister grabbed his neck and started choking him.

He struggled, trying to breath, trying to push the Sister off if him.

"N-no..." He gasped, trying to catch his breath.

All of a sudden his head hit the ground. He could breathe again. He weakly looked up, the Big Sister stepped back.

"What..."

"What are you waiting for?" Lamb over the radio...

"Get away from him!" Mark shot at the Big Sister, and it retreated...

Walter ran over to him, taking care of his wounds. "Can you stand?"

Landon couldn't move, he was feeling light headed, and he was having trouble breathing. "Oh... my god..."

Antony, Brendan, and Jimmy ran in. "We got the generator started!"

"Jesus Christ! Landon? What happened?"

"Walter lifted his head up. "Landon are you okay? Can you hear me?"

"It's her."

"What?"

He grabbed Walter's shirt. "That Big Sister! I know it sounds crazy but I know...!"

"Know what?"

"It's Jennifer... that thing is Jennifer!"

Walter stared for a moment. "You're just flustered from the-"

"No! It's her! What Lamb said... oh god it's her!" He stood up. "I have to follow her!"

"What about Persephone?" Jimmy asked.

Landon stopped and looked at Mark. "I..."

Mark shook his head. "Do what you have to. You got me this far, I'll take care of the rest..."

Landon nodded. "Okay, but take someone with you."

"I'll go." Jimmy announced.

"Me too." added Antony.

Landon stood up and offered his hand to Mark. "Good luck."

Mark took it and shook his hand. "You too."

Mark, Jimmy, and Brendan continued down to the basement, and Walter and Brendan followed Landon the other elevator.

"Can you get this thing working?" He asked Brendan.

"Yeah, give me a minute."

Landon sighed as the radio came to life. "Landon... if I... if anything happens to me, please would you try to help Cindy? In any way you can?

Landon was going to reply when he heard Jimmy over the radio. "It won't come to that! Landon, when you get done up there meet us down here alright?"

"Will do, until then; be careful... and save a piece of Lamb for me..."

"No problem."

The doors to the elevator sprang open. "Got it, let's head up."

Brendan went in first. Walter sighed. "Landon... are you sure about this?"

"Yes... I don't know how else to- to explain it but I... I know it's her- I can't just... I'm sorry Walter..."

"It's fine... but what are you planning to do once you find her...?"

"...I don't know."
