IC Ch 8: Off to Visit the Church

August 1921, Boston.
A dead guard at the abandoned chapel, a stolen statue revealing strange numbers and a burnt postcard. A strange night sighting by a Harvard professor only 2 days later has led to too many coincidences to ignore.
Dr. Chambers is forming another MAPS team, and you have been called.

"Let's seal this hatch back up and start moving down the tunnel again," says Warren. "What do you say the gents with the flashlights and the weapons take the lead?"

"Agreed," says Eddie. He leads the way back inside, ready to close the hatch once everyone has gone back into the cave.

Richard goes back in and climbs back down the ladder and ask "Did you find any other ladders going up or tunnels?"

"No, Mr. Rahl, no other ladders, just the same tunnel we've been going along," says Alyssa.

Eddie,you hear what sounds like a splash, maybe something running away from you. It is coming from up ahead, the direction you have not travelled yet.

"I heard a splash down the tunnel, the way we're going," says Eddie, drawing his revolver and pointing it down the tunnel. "Whatever it is seems to be running away from us. I think we'd better chase after it before it gets where it's going."

Eddie nods and hurries along the tunnel, leading the way.

"Right behind you, Eddie," should Warren, dashing off down the tunnel towards the noise.

You travel up the dank tunnel. The floor has a slight upward angle and the depth of the water is dropping, but there is still a half inch to an inch. Every step makes a splash that reverberates through the tunnels. You travel for some time, your nerves on end as shadows dance around from the flashlights you hold.

Finally, you come to another branch. One to the left and one to the right.

Eddie holds a finger to his lips and listens intently for splashes or other noises, trying to determine which direction their quarry went.

Shining your light down the right tunnel it stretches as far as the light will shine with no changes.

To the left however there are wooden crates stacked up on either side of the tunnel making it even narrower than normal, and would provide a 100 hiding spots for anyone.
Eddie,you don't hear anything down the right tunnel. But down the left you hear what could be a slapping noise of a wet rag slapping a rock. Very faint, and then you don't hear anything.

Eddie pointed to the left. "I heard a wet slapping sound like cloth on rock down there," he whispered. "He must have gone that way. Let' proceed, but be careful. There are lots of places for him to hide down there. Shine your lights around everywhere." He led the way down the tunnel to the left, his gun and lighter in his hands.
