"Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's this way." Mike pointed down the tunnel. "You're pretty sure, or you're certain?" Dustin asked. "I'm 100% sure. Just follow me and you'll know." Mike started to lead before Steve stopped them all again. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, hey, hey. I don't think so." "What?" Dustin sighed. Ashley was growing impatient as time was running out. "Any of you little shits die down here, Me and Ashley are getting the blame. Got it, dipshit? From here on out, we're leading the way. Come on, let's go. Come on. Hey, a little hustle." Steve said as Ashley rushed to the front.

"What is this place?" "Guys, come on. Keep moving." "Shit! Help! Help! Help! Shit!" Dustin yelled from behind. They all ran to his aid as he coughed on the floor. "Dustin!" Both Lucas and Max shouted at the same time. "What happened?" Steve asked. "It's in my mouth! Some got on my mouth! Shit! I'm okay." He finally answered. Ashley rolled her eyes as she continued walking. "We don't have time for this." She groaned. "You serious?" "Very funny, man." "Nice. Very nice." "Jesus, what an idiot."

"All right, Wheeler. I think we found your hub." Steve said as they entered another area of the tunnel. "Drench it." Mike said. They all threw gasoline all over the tunnel, and stood back. "You ready?" "Yeah." "Ready." "Light her up." "I am in such deep shit." Steve said, throwing the match. "Let's go, let's go!" "Oh, my God. Oh, my God." They all started running towards the rope as the demo dogs could be heard. "Guys, we gotta go!" "Dart." Dustin said as a demo dog guarded the exit. "Dustin, get back." Ashley panicked as he walked towards the demo dog. She held her breath as he got closer and closer. "Trust me, please. Hey. It's me, it's me. It's just your friend, it's Dustin. It's Dustin, all right? You remember me? Will you let us pass?" Dart snarled, causing Ashley to jump back. "Okay, okay, I'm sorry. I'm sorry about the storm cellar. That was a pretty douchey thing to do. You hungry? Yeah?" "He's insane." "Don't." "Shut up." Ashley hissed. "I've got our favorite. See? Nougat. Look at that. Yummy. Here, all right? Eat up, buddy. Come on. Come on. There's plenty. I've got more. Goodbye, buddy." They all walked past Dart as he ate his Musketeer and headed back on track.

"What was that?" Max whispered as growls echoed throughout the tunnels. Footsteps. They were getting louder and louder. "They're coming." Mike said. "Run! Run!" They all started running through the tunnels. "Come on, hurry up! Come on!" They all shouted as Max, Lucas, Mike and Dustin had got to the top. It was about to Ashley's turn, when a vine wrapped round her leg. "Dustin! Give me the knife!" Steve yelled. Dustin threw the pocketknife down. Steve started to cut the vines as Ashley held onto the rope. "Come on, come on, come on!" The kids yelled as the demo dogs were close. Ashley looked up. They were running down the tunnel. She pulled Steve up with tears in her eyes. "Go." She whispered. "I'm not leaving you." Steve replied, his eyes watering too. "Leave, Steve! Quickly!" Ashley cried. "I'm not leaving you!" He repeated. He cut the vine, and held onto Ashley and the rope as the demo dogs ran past. "Eleven."
