Going through those doors with the yellow and black lines, almost warning them of what's to come, the inside filled with cold air, and looming silence. The only thing audibles their footsteps, going through the hallway, while getting their bearings.

Alone with him, Lila asks him the plan, they can't exactly cause an implosion without knowing what's above them, else they risk hurting innocent bystanders accidentally caught amid a catastrophic collapse.

"I'll think of something, surely," Theodore tells her that while he didn't have a plan on hand, now, it doesn't mean he won't when the time comes.

He caught the look in Lila's eyes before he assured her that he's got a plan in the motions, just not right, now.

Unconvinced, Lila exhaled before continuing their journey through the metallic hallway, the walls cold to the touch, brushed metal, and the silence barely broken by the clinks under their feet.

On their minds, what became of the employees.

From what Al said, that they've been brought down here, for whatever reason. There's a gut feeling between Theodore and Lila that it's not for good reasons, they couldn't reasonably go through the piles of logs looking through all the side effects.

All they're able to figure out's that someone kept John and Mary from joining their coworkers in the underground.

Among their aimless question's the whereabouts of the definitive proof that Alex Industries committed the atrocities and all the people involved, enough damning evidence that they can't even begin drawing up a plan of their own, enough they can't risk retaliating against John and Mary.

The matter of it all's whether it'll be enough to show the world the ugliness that Alex Industries hides.

General public's aware that its specialties catered towards military contracts, but not the fact Alex Industries' producing and testing their drug on the innocent people in Durham Industries, causing at least one known causality.

Knowing how deep the pockets are on some politicians and judges, it's going to be an interesting case, especially if Theodore and Lila find ample proof.

Of course, they're aware it's not going to be as easy as showing the evidence of the wrong doing and having John and Mary testify about their experiences, it's going to take obscene work to break the complex for their misdeeds.

"Maybe we should get Hammond as their lawyer, imagine him making the defendants squirm," Lila suggested asking Hammond to take time out of his busy schedule and become John and Mary's lawyer against the complex.

If there's anyone who'd make even the most morally corrupt lawyers wet themselves, it's Hammond, and he's good at making people squirm when he has them in the hot seat.

Just give him the footnotes, tell him what he needs to know, let him go, they'll rule guilty on all counts in minutes, and that's the best-case scenario.

Hell, hath no fury than a furious Hammond wanting someone's head for the malicious incidents that occurred.

"It wouldn't work, we're brothers, remember?" Theodore reminded Lila that while Hammond would've been a good lawyer for John and Mary, the courts wouldn't like the familial connection, especially since Theodore's finding evidence.

Shrugging her stout shoulder, Lila responded with, "It was a good thought."

Well, maybe next time, but Hammond wouldn't waste time with court sessions, he'd steamroll the defendants with words alone.
