Luke's POV

I heard a door slam further down the stairs and we all froze.

'Who was that?' I asked stupidly, as if any of the other boys would know.

'How should I know?' Michael hissed sarcastically before yanking his balaclava down slightly. I could tell he was nervous.

'Lets keep going, the stairs down to the Lower Basement should only be a few steps away.'

We followed Ashtons instructions, hurrying quickly down the hall and pressing the key to yet another door.

'So many doors.' I heard Michael mutter under his breath, before leading the way down a flight of musty stairs. I sniffed the air and scrunched up my nose.

'It smells g-roooss down here.' I whined, causing the other two boys to chuckle slightly.

'How many stairs ARE there!?' Michael joined in, and soon we were having a full out whining war about this mission.

'I hope Calum is doing okay.' We all stopped again, looking at Ashton who had just spoken his thoughts aloud.

'So do I.' I muttered, an image of the pale, unconscious Calum in my head.

'We can hope buddy, but we're doing the best we can for him at the moment.'

'Let's just find this machine shall we?' I huffed, not pleased in the way the direction of conversation had turned.

'Yeah, but by the looks of things...'

I flicked my head to the direction that Ashton and Mikey were looking in and my mouth fell open at the sight.

'I think we found it.'
