Chapter 37. Dumb ASSumptions

"How much longer?" Caleb and I huffed together, leaning against the dark tunnel walls.

"Only about ten minutes more," Noah replied.

"Dude," Caleb groaned, "you have been saying that for the last two hours."

"Well, what do you expect guys?" Liam shook his head. "This is a tunnel. Besides, we did tell you guys?not?to come. But, did you listen?"

Uhm...no. Of course not! This was about Soph and Mia after all.

"It isn't helping that you two have the stamina of a doorknob," Noah added.

Caleb and I glared at him.

"Well, then, who asked you to build such a long tunnel?" I retorted.

Noah let out a snort. "This tunnel was built in the year 1564, as a backup route in case the enemies ambushed the palace."

That piqued everyone's interest, and we resumed walking slowly.

"Whoa, your ancestors had the IQ of a pebble," Caleb commented, on way. "Who builds such a long tunnel as an escape route?"
