“Hey, put that music box thing on it,” Mac suggested. “That way, we’ll hear it if anything comes close.”
“That makes sense,” Autumn said, pulling out the creepy music box. She did not particularly like that either, from what Bear could see in her face. Nearly throwing the machine on the gurney so she didn’t have to touch it, Autumn walked away.
Mac waved a hand in front to make sure it was working and then stepped back.
Fish marked an X above it, and Hunter turned to him.
“Why?”
“So we know if we’re going round in circles,” Fish explained.
“Good idea,” Slaughter exclaimed.
They carried on walking and took another left.
Alice literally climbed Bear’s back as they entered this one.
“I have a nasty feeling about this,” Alice whispered, looking around.
“We can go back,” Bear offered.
“Nope, big guy. As long as you don’t mind a piggyback ride,” Alice said, patting Bear’s head. Bear growled but hefted Alice to a better position on his back.
“Need a back?” Hunter asked Autumn, who shook her head.
“I’m good for now,” Autumn replied and stepped forward, only to shriek.
“What?” the men cried in alarm.
“Oh hell, watch out, there’s a huge dip here. It’s up to my ankle and full of water,” Autumn said, disgusted.
Bear let his heart calm down before snorting in disbelief.
“These are three-thousand-dollar boots!” Autumn exclaimed.
“Why wear them?” Celt challenged.
“Because they’re comfortable!”
“And they look good,” Alice added, and Autumn high-fived her.
The men, including cameramen, rolled their eyes.
“Okay, let’s miss Autumn’s hole and keep going,” Slaughter said.
They began moving forward again, with Fish marking the route they were taking.
They’d stopped at a triple junction and were peering down the three offshoots when Hunter jumped.
“Did anyone else see that?” Hunter asked.
“What?” Bear demanded, walking over to him.
“I swear there’s someone popping their head out at us,” Hunter said, shining his flashlight down the dark tunnel.
“I see it,” Alice squealed.
“Guess that’s the one we’re taking!” Celt muttered.
