Kane thought maybe Kelly was just trying to make him tired but he later noticed that the pressure in the water had decreased to a particular amount.

Kelly was busy thinking something for a while. Kane noticed her. her concentration level seemed to be great. she wasn't getting distracted at all.
Kelly asked him to follow her.

"Are we not going up"; Kane asked.

"I guess we don't need too... come along... I need you out here"; she said and moved further.
Kane followed her without asking anything.

Kelly stopped coming at a dead end. There was a mountain up ahead.

"Hit over here with your maximum strength"; she said.

Kane didn't know what she was planning too. Of course he didn't trusted her but just for Susan. He hoped to find her soon.

He went to his maximum capacity he can in the technique and gave a hit on the prescribed area but it was of no use. The wall was not broken entirely.

Kane was already out of his limit. He couldn't try anymore. He had used all the strength he had in the las shot.

He felt that he was seeing a light coming out of somewhere as he tried to relax himself a bit. He looked carefully but there wasn't any.

"Was it just a thought or there was some light coming out from the girl's hand..." Kane thought.

He felt a bit of shaking at that place.

Kelly hold Kane's wrist. Kane was a bit shaken by her sudden action but there wasn't any time for it. The wall in front of him broke open and water through it rush out. But he didn't flew away. Kelly had a hold at the wall of the mountain that had prevented it. After some while it had calmed down.

"Come in fast"; Kelly shouted removing the torch from her pocket.

As he was going in he saw some marks on the wall. It was surely with that technique of his, but he felt that it wasn't created at that moment. It seemed to be of some time earlier probably a day before maybe or was it just an eye ilusion because of the water. All of it was just a hunch.

He went in. As he moved in he was damn gone in a temporary shock. There was Susan floating in the water... unconscious... having oxygen mask not properly tied on her face.

Kane was just not able to believe what he saw. He had never expected Susan to be in such a bad state.

He rushed in there.

"Susan was all this time in this water... take her out soon"; she said.

Kane had no time to think and get shocked with Kelly's talks. He rushed upwards taking her.

Kelly was waiting in there.

"It is evident that she tried to wear that mask but was just not able to because of weakness maybe. She can't be out of breath as she had the oxygen supply along with her"; Kelly said to herself.

When Kane reached out he got entangled in the waves but he would just not give up. There was no time. He tried his best to fight and was successfull.

As soon as he came out he tried to hear her breathe.
She was not able to breathe. He tried to pump out the water from her body. There wasn't much sucess. There was slight pulse that could be felt.

Kane ran back towards the end of the road. He saw stairs leading upwards aside of the slope. He ran from it. He moved fast. He needed Sapphire to take look at her. He at last reach the house.

He entered in the house through the open door all exhausted. He was yet wearing his diving suit which he didn't bother to remove.
He found all of them in the house. He laid Susan on the bed and asked Sapphire to check her. The girl moved on faster and asked all the others to leave the room including Kane.
