Into The Belly

Shade looked up into the face of Celia in shock. She had saved him from a terrible predicament but he had not expected her to be there. Shade was certain that he had entered the base by himself so how had Celia managed to infiltrate without his knowledge?

"Celia, how did you get here?" He asked.

"Shh! I'll answer you in a sec. For now, let's wait until the soldiers looking for you have passed."

Shade agreed. They then proceeded to wait for the soldiers to run by. Fortunately, Celia had chosen an area that branched off into three tunnels. Due to this, the pursuing soldiers assumed that Shade had entered one of the three tunnels. This resulted in the soldiers failing to search the room and instead, chose to split their forces to search the tunnels.

A few seconds later, both Celia and Shade could afford to relax. They now had a little time to gather themselves and come up with a plan.

"Okay, I need an answer now, Celia. How did you get here?" Queried Shade.
