To some, the mere thought of knowingly going into an underground facility filled with mutated people who've succumbed to the drug that've been given to them without their knowledge would've incited responses involving swearing, backhanding, running away, sensible responses.

Not intentionally going through the hallways that've become deafeningly quiet with signs on the ground that something happened, something terrifying, there's large gashes embedded into the floor, not from equipment going through the hallways.

That's exactly what Theodore and Lila did, going through the quiet hallways, seeing the gashes extend from the floor to the wall, giving the impression something went on a rampage.

Broken lights in spots, jolts of electricity firing out of the broken bulbs with Theodore and Lila's shoes crunching under the glass as they walked quickly from under the broken lights above them as electricity sporadically jolted from the hanging wires.

Hurrying away, the duo continued their way through the deteriorating underground complex.

Walls started having pieces ripped out of them, exposing the leaking pipes that spilled water into the floors.

Sloshing through the flooding hallway, Theodore found an area for them to search through, it'd appear to be the administration's office, always a good chance something's there for them to look through.

Assuming there's anything substantial left.

The office looked like a hurricane swept through, everything's in pieces, piles of papers on the ground stuck to the ground by what looked like blood.

With the lights flashing sporadically above from the broken fixtures, it set the tone enough as the two waded through the mess, looking for anything, and found nothing for their troubles.

If there's any physical proof of the wrongdoing, maybe if they win the lottery, they'll find some piece of evidence connecting Alex Industries to what happened.

This is before they even found the employees of Durham Industries and what became of them, which judging from the state of the hallways and the areas they've been going in and searching, they're bound to run into them sooner than later.

With her trusty knife, Lila pried open a dented-up filing cabinet in another office they found while wading through the flooded hallway with debris floating pass them.

There's still folders inside and she's able to pull them out once she pulled the cabinet door hard enough that it haphazardly pulled out finally, perpetually stuck open.

Going through the folders, Lila found nothing but business invoices, schedules, meetings, nothing that sprung out to her as concrete evidence.

Thumbing through the documents and reading them under the sporadic office light above her, Lila felt the twinge of eyes on her, and without moving, looked around.

Theodore's not facing her, he's crouched near a turned over filing cabinet, going through the continents inside it, and when Lila's eyes moved back, she saw in the corner of her eyes something beside her.

Beside her's the wall, but with the mess, it's hard not to notice the holes and gashes made to the wall, since everywhere they've been showed similar.

One of the holes, about two feet above her, she felt the phantom eyes coming from there, and she went along as normal, trying to keep calm, and with the arrangement she made with Theodore, he's always present in her mind.

Just in case for situations like this.

"Um, Theo," Lila reached out to him as he's busied looking through the folders he pulled out of the cabinet.
