Hiding in the Sewers

“PU what’s that smell?”

“Just what do you think it is, huh Kathy? We’re wading through a sewer up to our knees.”

“Sorry it’s a standard question. Where are we going anyway?”

“I don’t know. Somewhere safe I hope. It only a matter of time until they figure out where we went.”

After that we trudged along in silence. Every couple of minutes a rat would scamper by with their savage red eyes glistening in the yellow glow from my flashlight.
This place is just as creepy as I expected especially since..

“Watch your step,â€? said Kathy and I tripped over an old shoe and landed face down in the grime. My flashlight flew out of my hand and landed about ten feet away. Kathy after falling her self helped me up. Mean while, the already small dome of light slowly faded into shadow as the flashlight sank into the muk.

“Well that’s great,” i said looking around to let my eyes readjust to the dark “hey where are you going
Kathy?”

“There’s a light down there.”

“What I don’t see any thing,” I replied.
