"Wow."
"I know."
"So these are all — "
"They sure are."
"They're ... a lot bigger than I thought they'd be."
"Well, WICKED's a big place," Garek shrugged as he spread all the blueprints out on the table. He pulled out a chair and sat down as he smoothed out the wrinkles in the papers.
Evan frowned and pointed at the tunnels. "But why are there so many different ones?"
"I guess they just rebuilt a lot of stuff, forgot about some stuff," he paused. "You should know how that last one feels."
Evanna glared at the side of his head. Garek only grinned, as if he felt it. "Ha ha, very funny."
"Okay, okay, sorry," Garek held up his hands and focused back on the blueprints. He rubbed his chin as he looked at them. "You ever read about New York?"
"The city, right?"
"Yeah," Garek nodded. "Apparently it had tons of underground tunnels that were just abandoned and forgotten about over time. You basically see a different set of tunnels on every blueprint you look."
"What were they used for?"
"Transportation, I think, like, a subway."
Evanna's brows raised. She pulled out a chair opposite Garek's and sat down. He glanced up at her. "So exactly like WICKED's then."
Garek nodded again, his eyes focusing on the numerous blueprints again. He scratched his neck and sighed. "So, how do you wanna do this?"
He looked up at her, saw her defeated demeanor. Evan ran a hand through her hair as she looked at all the blueprints. She felt dread well up in her stomach. This was going to be a lot harder than she had anticipated. She had expected to see it right away and be on her way.
There was no time to lose, after all.
Minho
He was real. He was in WICKED and he had to have someone who was looking for him. Someone had to be out there and Evanna had to find them as fast as possible because nothing about WICKED was adding up. She wasn't sure what they were doing to Minho or how much longer he had. She had to be quick.
"Evan?" Garek asked, waving his hand in front of her face.
"Hmm?" she looked at him and lightly shook her head. "Oh, right, uhm, I guess we try to find any irregularities. Everything that's different, everything that's changed, mark it."
