---Ace---

An hour before Ace calls (Name)

Ace and Marco make it to the bridge that connects the middle class and the lower class. They both look around for a moment before jumping over the side where there were stairs.

Down the steps and turning the corner so they were now under the bridge they walked over to the entrance of a very large sewage pipe. This was a side entrance to the base, but it was the closest to the bus stop they just jumped off of.

Walking into the pipe they make their way deeper underground. It was, for people who were unfamiliar with this path, surprisingly clean. But as the two boys passed a symbol on the wall it became obvious that this was not a normal path.

After a few more minutes they exited the tunnel where a boy with a pompadour haircut sat on a crate just outside the tunnels exit. The boy gives them a grin, a lollipop stick sticking out his mouth.

“Hey guys!” He said while hopping off the crate, the boy looked to be thirteen or fourteen.

Ace gives the boy a huge grin and runs over to him.

“Hey Thatch!” He says as Marco catches up. Thatch looks at Ace for a moment, his expression turning into a slight frown before turning back into a grin.

“Pops want's to see you.” He says and Ace frowns, he hasn't done anything to bad lately...

Thatch notices Ace's expression and smirks.

“Did you do something again?” He asks and Ace has a slight pout.

“No...?” He says, very unsure.

When you exit the tunnel you enter a very large and open area, the ceiling is about twenty feet high. There were makeshift buildings that stretched up and brushed against the ceiling. Lights were screwed into the stop, and they constantly stay on, some blinking as their bulbs begin to burn out. They walk along the main road, or the only road in this large underground town. Here the black market is located, stalls of illegal items, and mostly stolen items. Ace walks past one of the stalls and a man was selling guns. Walking past another there were stands with clear plastic containers. Upon closer inspection he would have see organs, but luckily Ace didn't look into the containers.

If they had traveled down a side street and into the lawless area, where the worst crimes are located. It was down here, underneath the underground city, where the dark of the most evil deeds are performed. And lately, whispers of unimaginable things have been seeping out of there.
