19 Chapter 19 A City Dies (2/2)

”It looks like we found where they've been hiding.”

”It was bound to happen eventually.”

”There should be good hunting this day!”

None of them touched the body, and the sounds of screaming drew them down the tunnel.

Dustin started moving again, but it was away from the hole.There was too much going on at the moment, to try and escape through the hole that the Josagn were using.They would definitely be found and killed.He moved instead towards a smaller cave hole, that was far from the floor.It looked promising as a place to hide for a while.The entrance was hidden behind one of the stalactites, so no one from the ground would ever notice it.

Olivia followed along after a moment of staring at the hole.

He was relieved to get off that damn ceiling.He may have the ability to cling to it, but that didn't mean it was comfortable.Heading deeper into the cave, he found that he would have to crawl to go very far into it, but once he got past the low spot, it opened up to a comfortable space.

Exploring the entire area, there was no other exits or entrances, depending on how you looked at it, but that was fine with him.

”What are we doing here?” she breathed, softer than a whisper.The noise carried just fine for him to hear, but not to travel outside the current area.

”We can't get out while the Josagn are on the prowl.Not with laser guns.Even our scales would have trouble with that.Give me those devices and I'll get our PED's upgraded finally.Maybe by the time I'm done, they'll have cleared out and we can get out of this damn cave.”

She nodded and handed them over.He decided to start with his, asking the PED computer to walk him through it once, so then he could upgrade hers.He wanted to keep them upgraded the same, so that if he got interrupted before he could finish, they would be roughly the same.

In the distance, they could hear screams and wails as a city died.
