Vadakin and I start our back up rounds after that call.
"Well, that's a relief that we found our mother unconscious and not dead. So, lets go ahead and mark that one off the list of shit to do." I state
"Fuck yeah man! Now we gotta find that fiddy-five you got, then we light up that mothafuckin clown." Vadakin replies
We keep walking at a decent pace as we enter the last quarter of our search area when the radio chirps up.
"This is Charlie-One, Checking In at Oh-Three Hundred. Over." Matt states
"This is Bravo-One, Checking In at Oh-Three Hundred. Over." Austin states
"Understood. Anything to report yet? Over." I call back
"Negative. Good Luck. Stay Frosty. Charlie-One Out."
"Negative. Bravo-One, Out."
"Wilco. Alpha-One, Out."
As Vadakin and I start walking into the forested area of our search third, we split up to cover a bit more ground. I walk out to the left as he walks out to the right.
"Meet back here in 30 mikes alright? Call over the other if you find anything." I tell Vadakin
"Aight." He replies
Vadakin walks off into the darkness of the right side of our forested third. He has his rifle up searching every dark nook and cranny of the forest trying to find anything that might have access to the forest whether it is a way in or out. As he is walking, he stumbles across something on the ground.
"What the fuck is this?" he asks as he taps his Glock against a metal hatch with a metallic Clang, "I have never seen this before. I'm gonna explore this and then tell Berry what I find."
He opens the hatch and jumps down the hole.
Meanwhile, I am still searching for Brooklyn through the left side of the forest that I needed to search. As I move something rustles in the bushes causing me to draw my 1911 and fire off a couple of rounds.
"Son of a bitch! That's two less rounds for me to shoot that fucker with. God Damn it!" I exclaim
I look at my watch, "0310, damn it's only been ten minutes" I think to myself. I proceed forward for a few more minutes when I come across a metal hatch.
"Well, it never hurt anyone to investigate. Hell, I'm sure this damn clown killed the cat so curiosity ain't gonna kill it. Time to see what's on the receiving end of this hole I guess." I murmur under my breath
I inhale deeply and I jump into the darkness.
Austin and Brewer are finally exiting their side of the woods into a clearing that runs out to the wall.
"Well, this is the end of our search pattern. So, what now?" Brewer asks Austin
"Uh, we'll call it in to let them know." He replies
Matt and Meader are finally making it back to the medical tent at the CP.
"Set her down on three. Ready? One, Two, Three!" Meader states
"What now?" Matt asks
"I'm going to do what I can to try and wake her back up after I check her for any injuries."
"Alright, I'll stand post."
Matt walks outside and hops onto the radio,
"Bravo-One this is Charlie One Over."
"Charlie One this I Bravo-One, Go Ahead"
"Bravo-One I need you to cover the rest of my sector. Over."
"Charlie-One, Wilco. We just finished up with our sector anyways. Over."
"Bravo-One, out-fucking-standing. Out"
"Charlie-One, Out."
After I jump into the darkness of the hatch, I end up landing in the sewer system that runs under the property. I flip up my NVG's and I turn on my flashlight. The tunnel ahead of me illuminates and I start moving through the sewer. The sounds of rats scurrying away from me can be heard echoing through out the tunnel. The smell is surprisingly not as bad as most shows and movies make it out to be, it does smell like crap, but it is tolerable. About 5-10 minutes later, out at the furthest end of my light I see something bolt across to an adjacent tunnel. I immediately shut off my light and flip my NVG's back onto my face, and I start approaching rapidly to the tunnel that the thing just ran into. I turn right into the tunnel, and I begin following the tunnel all the way down. As I move down the tunnel, I hear a person being attacked by something with cries of pain and then the sounds just stop.
"Mothafucker." I hear echo down from the tunnel
"Vadakin is that you?" I yell
"Berry? Yeah it's me." He yells back
"Good to hear and see you man. How did you get down here?"
"I jumped down a hatch I found in my area."
"Same. Are you good?"
"I'm okay. One of those fuckin teddy bears came at me when I wasn't expecting it. I stabbed it."
"Alright. Well, let's get moving."
"Bet."
Then I flip around with my 1911 and fire 5 rounds of that .45 ACP into Vadakin.
"You are not Vadakin. I know him well enough to know that he would never say anything along the lines of what you said or say that he wasn't expecting something."
The creature then un-shapeshifts and starts to dissolve into the water, but not before it says one last thing,
"You're never gonna find herrr."
"Yeah, that's why you're dead fucker."
I continue walking down the tunnel until I hear what sounds like water being disturbed ahead and the occasional muffled scream. I proceed to run towards the sound only to come up onto three separate tunnels. I think to myself, "Fuck. How am I gonna figure out which one the sound is coming from, cause this damn fork is where the water sound came from. I'll start here." I flip up the NVG's and turn on my flashlight as I head out into the darkness of the center tunnel.
