Tunnels

Chapter One

**Nathan - 

"Nathan." Smith said. Come here now.

"Smith, I already told you. I can't leave the monitor. I'm watching for the girl."

"Well, I'm telling you now that you need to get over here right now before -"

"She's here" I said turning around to face him. "She's in tunnel B"

"Stay here" Smith said. Watch the monitors and let me know if anyone else comes and whet tunnel they're in."

"Roger."

Smith put his earpiece in and walked out of the door. I turned back around to monitor 1 and I saw him walk out the door and down tunnel A.

He dissapeared from the monitor and I changed my focus to monitor 2 and saw him appear in the dim light of tunnel B.

He turned around and faced the camera. 

"Come in, Nathan?" 

"I'm here smith. Go ahead. I've got the girl on the monitor." I said, looking at the third monitor. She's walking towards you. She should be there in about a minute.

I shifted to monitor 3 and the girl had gone.

"Smith, The girls is gone. She should be there any second."

"Roger, Nathan, I can see her in the dim light. She's coming towards me."

All the sudden all the monitors went black.

"Smith, Smith are you there?"

No answer.

"Smith, Answer me!"

No answer.

The monitors came back on and Smith was lying on the floor, and the girls was gone. I checked all the other monitors were clear of anything suspicous.

I grabbed my gun and put it in the belt. I took a flashlight off the shelf and left our safe haven.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Once out of the room, I went straight to tunnel B and I saw Smith lying on the floor. He had been hit on the head with a baseball bat or something and then left. 

There was a note in his hand. I shoved it into the pack that I was carrying on my back and I slapped Nathan in the face. His eyes fluttered and he awoke.

"What happened?"

"You were knocked out."

"How?"

"The girl..." I trailed off.

"That girl! I swear! I can't stand her! I'm about ready to kill her. She's lucky that she's important and that she's hard to kill, Otherwise she would be dead right now!" He stood up and brushed himself off. "I swear. I don't want that girl here anymore. Bring the gaurds in and place one at the enterance of each tunnel. Gosh. That girl..."

He trailed off as he walked down the tunnel.
