Oliver was soon back up and running again after his short sleep. He was crawling and keeping time while still trying to find Twist. He had been searching for at least 13 hours.
'I wonder if anyone has noticed that twist and I are missing.' He thought to himself as he moved forward.
Meanwhile, above ground of Dema...
Nico roared in rage when he found out 2 of his most prized prisoners were loose. There was no sign of where they went which made him even more furious. He and the other bishops held an emergency meeting about the situation.
"They escaped."
"Who was watching?"
"No one you idiot."
"Well maybe that's your fault for not getting a guard."
"Well maybe it's your fault because it's your quadrant."
They bickered for hours. Until they lost track of the main topic and just fought about each other.
In the hole, Twist was sitting, her back against the tunnel wall. Trying to convince herself to keep going, fighting with the voices in her head that were telling her to quit. Not knowing what to do anymore, She started to cry.
Oliver, who was still crawling, knew he was close he could just feel it in his bones. But he stopped when he heard faint sobbing and what sounded like..singing? He slowed his speed to try and not blow his cover of him listening to her from the distance. He listened closely...
"And I said Don't be afraid. Where going home...ohhhh..." she sang and there were small sniffles in between the words..
'Her voice is amazing.' Oliver thought in this mind as he continued to hear her sing.
When she finished the song, She sobbed louder than she did before, Dropping her head into her knees, her fingers tangled into her hair. He then crawled up to her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Hey...it's okay."
Twist, not knowing she was being followed, jumped at the presence of her cell mate.
"W-what are you doing here? How did y-you find me??" She questioned, small hiccups from her crying.
"I couldn't find you in our room so I went to come find you." he answered.
She sniffled and wiped her nose with her dirt covered uniform.
Oliver sat down next to her and wrapped his arm around her, resulting in her to lean towards his chest and soon fall asleep. And he stayed up to figure out a way for them both to escape stealthily without getting captured by the hands of Nico or any of the other bishops.
