Tunnels

They all stumbled up the stairs, glancing at their microchips left on the table. The metal plate slid across and fixed in place as they left the secret room. The man behind the counter look at the chokers around each of the groups neck, confused. They said nothing and walked through the door and down the corridor. The group passed multiple bathrooms and other doors that led to nowhere. Finally they came to a small wooden door, unnoticeable if you were to walk past it at a reasonable pace.

"Alice says we should go in here" Said Anon, pointing at the door.

He opened the surprisingly unlocked door and walked inside, inside the room where: Two high shelves, lined with cleaning equipment, a broom, a mop, and other cleaning supply stuff. In the middle of the room was a large metal vent, which covered the entrance to the ventilation tunnel. Anon kneeled in front of the vent and ripped it of, cutting three of his fingers in the process. He climbed into the tunnel and crawled forward. The other people in the group followed him. The tunnel started to get smaller after a while and made it harder to move/crawl in. The order of the group went Alice, Anon, Sam, Christine, Luis and then Abbie who left a flux trail behind her. They finally found the large circle room where they had once called safe.

On the floor were five human sized pieces of cardboard, all in different places in the room. At the left side of the room there were more boxes, some empty and some filled with supplies the others had left behind. Anon walked into the centre of the room and pointed to the boxes at the side. He trudged over to the boxes and searched them, he took out a bunch of filled syringes and handed three each to everyone. Christine plonked down onto a piece of cardboard and leant against the wall, the others began to do the same. Luis got up and turned around the look at the metallic silver wall, he then took what looked like a silver coin from his pocket and bit it. His teeth clashed with the metal and nothing happened, he then put the 'coin' into his pocket.

"I've just realised that your hair is more pink Anon" Said Sam, confused.

"Oh yeah" Said Anon, turning around to see his reflection in the wall. He awkwardly shrugged and turned arounds again to look at the small dent in the middle of the room.

Suddenly loud metal bashing noises came from a different tunnel. The group backed away and raised anything they could find to act like a weapon. The grate over the tunnel was violently kicked off by a huge guard who had just entered the room, he stood up straight and moved to the right side of the tunnel to let someone else through. Shackleton appeared through the tunnel and entered the room. His face was friendly but in a creepy 'you're-so-dead' way'. He stepped forward to let a scientist out who was followed by another guard.The guards were armed with rifles and pistols, they stood either side of Shackleton. The group stared in aww as they saw him step into the centre of the room and swivel round to face Anon.

"So" Said Shackleton, "Your the leader?" He said, look Anon dead in the eye.

"I guess" Shrugged Anon as if he were being elected for something important.

"You do understand that this-" He motioned to the whole room "Is breaking the rules?" He said, half smirking "And if one were to break thou rules, the rule breaker shall be punished". Shackleton and his guards took out a baton each and whacked Anon around the his head, knocking him out instantly. The others were also knocked out.
