"I thought the others got out," Neo said."Apparently they didn't."**Group B: Shane, Perry, Tommy, Chris, MattSoon they started off in silence, following Matt's lead, though in this place there was no chance ofgetting lost. They half-crawled, half-walked on in the red light as the height of the tunnel varied, hopingfor an end, and trying not to think of Jjaks Clayton or whether they might ever see home again."I hope this thing ends somewhere," Shane said as they entered yet another corridor and proceeded tomake it wetter than it had initially been."At least it's not a maze," Chris said hopefully, when they turned around another corner and the tunnelchose that exact moment to branch out into two. A blank wall right ahead of them, spreading smoothlyout into the distance; openings at right-angles to it on their left and right.Chris concluded that the universe hated him.Matt halted and looked back. He was developing several serious anger issues towards the architect ofthis place. "Left or right?" he asked."Left," Shane decided. "Just keep going left if it splits again. That way we won't get lost.""If we go left twice, we'll end up moving backwards," Tommy pointed out."That's assuming that the tunnels are all at right-angles to each other," Perry said, sitting down andleaning against the tunnel wall."What if they are?" Chris asked.The question hung in the air between the five of them. The absence of Jjaks was suddenly morepalpable.Tommy ran a finger to and fro along the groove where the wall met floor, welcoming the mindlessactivity."Okay," Shane said. "Let's say this is North." He pointed at the wall ahead of them. "We just keep inthat direction. So we'll go left now and hope that the tunnel turns right and keeps on more or less in anorthwards direction. We'll have to get out eventually.""What if we don't?" asked Chris, who had developed a sudden penchant for rhetorical questions."Maybe this whole place is closed up. We don't even know where we are. Like... what if this was justsome drainage pipe or something?""There wasn't any other way out-" Shane started."-Maybe we didn't look hard enough," Perry said. "Or maybe there was never meant to be a way out."The beginnings of claustrophobia started to rise at the edges of their minds."It's not like we can go back," Tommy said, looking more subdued than he had been all his time inKenselton Hotel. He managed a laugh that sounded fake even to his own ears. "I mean... because...that... that thing that ate..."He broke off with a grimace, a faraway look in his eyes."Left it is," Shane said firmly. "Lead the way, Matt."**
