Chapter Seven: The Cloudy Day
The enemies were probably regrouping and preparing another assault. They clearly knew where the tunnel was but for some reason haven’t invaded from the exit. It was almost as if they wanted to force the five outside the tunnel. There was not enough time to think about it. The five continued running until they began to see the end of the long tunnel. Shouts pierced the air behind them and just as they got to the end of the tunnel they released it was actually a turn. Upon rounding the corner they were met by eyes staring at them in all directions. This part of the tunnel was unknown to everyone including Larry and Angel. In front of them was large open room filled with people, weapons, supplies, and equipment. Very calmly, a man in the crowd spoke , saying “drop your weapons now and you won’t get hurt. I am warning you once and only once”. The small group was outnumbered and decided to surrender. These new strangers didn’t seem like part of the Traitors cult but still couldn’t be trusted. Outside another explosion rocked the tunnels. This time directly above the room but it held. Men escorted the five to a corner of the room where the man who spoke earlier waited. After observing the room when they walked, the group realized the walls were made of strong metal and there was Detective Agency gear and equipment all around. Larry gave out a sigh of relief when he recognized the man waiting on them. “Hey Christian, long time no see, I thought you left the agency and shut off all contact”. “Oh Larry it’s you! Excuse the circumstances but I need to know what's going on before I can release you. You see we got cut off from the main base after we received a distress signal from it.” “Yeah but, what is this place and why do you know about the compound?” asked Larry. “Oh, you don’t know? I guess Elwood keeps secrets from everyone then. This is our new special operations base and as you can see we are dealing with an outside threat at the moment. You wouldn’t happen to know why, would you?”. “Long story short, the Traitors cult infiltrated our ranks and invaded the compound. Now they are following us since we escaped.” “Oh, I see, well that matches our current information so your are free to look around, leave, or even help out. Oh excuse me, but your friend will have to be treated now and will be questioned afterward”. Christian motioned to his men and they picked up Victor and took him down the tunnel opposite of where they entered. He then motions to the other four watching Victor be taken. They turn back to face Christian and then he says “just feel free to look around and don’t touch anything. We are handling the situation on top but are prepping to leave right now”. Two soldiers with bulky guns ran down the tunnel the five came in and seemingly endless gunfire was heard. SJ was the first to start walking around. In one part of the room he found a hamster cage. Inside was a small hamster wearing a santa outfit. The bottom of the cage had a name tag reading “Buff Hamster”. Stan was standing next to SJ and turned to ask another man what the hamster was for. “That little guy is our mascot here” replied the man. Stan was about to ask about the name until he saw the hamster pick up a small weight in its paw and start lifting. Both SJ and Stan were shocked but decided they had seen so many strange things in the past days that this isn’t very far fetched. Surely someone could train a hamster to lift weights. The day continued and the Traitors cult temporarily backed off.
The fire had finally died down due to the rainfall and increased E.G.O. efforts. Investigators were scattered everywhere searching all remains of anything at the compound. Victor was outside on the phone while Anthony watched him closely. “Could you stop looking at me like that” shouted Victor over the phone. Anthony continued watching as if it was a staring contest. The rain had finally stopped and now only clouds floated in the sky with a few gaps here and there. The air still smelled awful but Victor began to get used to it. He was excited about the loss of a rival and the gain of land. The investigation did not really matter, but he would do a good job to ensure successful business in his new region.
