"So, what are your names?" Chloe asks
"I'm Uriel." One says, he's around my height, 6 feet, and looks rather in shape.
"I'm Krystal." The girl says, she looks to be probably in her mid twenties, she stands tall and keeps a straight face.
"And I'm Xavier." The last guy says, he stands over the other two, but he's pretty skinny as well.
"Well, welcome." Chloe says, "How did you find us down here?"
"Well, we live in that building you guys went in to get down here. We dug that hole years ago, and we found this." Uriel says
"Yeah, we wanted to help you guys out. I don't about these two, but I'm pretty tired of this situation here." Xavier says
"Cool, cool." Chloe awkwardly says, "Well, I suppose we keep going."
Lucinda once again takes the lead, Chloe watches as the three walk past us.
"I don't know about these three. They seem a little off, I don't know. My first impressions have been wrong before." Chloe says
"We will see." I say, "Give them some time to warm up to us."
Chloe nods and we walk together down the empty tunnel.
"Hold on guys." Lucinda says, she turns her flashlight on high beam, there looks to be an opening ahead of us. We slowly walk towards the opening. It opens up to am empty platform. I look at the tunnel where we just walked through, it looks like there was a wall separating these two places before. I see boarded off stairs.
"So there used to be an entrance down here." Noah says
"What for?" Chloe asks
"I believe this used to be some sort of platform, maybe a train station." Krystal says
We all separate and look down, I walk towards the boarded off staircase, there looks to be a dusted sign, I turn on my flashlight, and wipe the layers of dust off, which my hand is now coated in.
Washington DC Metro
Connecting rides to:
New York City
Baltimore
Philadelphia
In the distance I hear some sort of engine, it interrupts my reading. Everyone's head lamps turn towards to what looks to be rails.
"Train!" Chloe says
I rush over to where we just were, everyone turns off there lights.
"Sh-"
The train comes into my sight, it looks modern, sleek, white. I catch the train logo, Republic Peacekeepers. It zooms past us in a matter of a second. We get up again and look around the platform. I walk over to the rails, it's a far drop to the rails, besides the rails, there's not much else.
"Well trains still run through here." Chloe says
"Train is an understatement, these things are a lot sleeker and faster." Lucinda says
"Well now what." Noah says
"I'm guessing the rails will take us to a more urbanized part of the capital. I don't know where this tunnel will take us." Lucinda says
"The rails loop around the capitol building, I don't know where this tunnel will take us, however." Uriel says
"Then why don't we take the rails?" Wyatt asks
"Cause we don't know how wide it'll be, who knows if another train runs through there and we have no room to move." Chloe says
I walk down the other side of the tunnel, the place we were originally going to walk through. I turn my flashlight on it's highest setting, it looks just like the other side. A straight, dark pathway is ahead.
