Chapter 36

"What's that?" I asked in between the silences.

I immediately knelt down and felt the surface of the floor. I carefully pulled a lever that was almost invisible to its existence. I was sure this could be a clue.

"There's a secret road here, guys!"

Everyone swarmed a hole behind the lever I had just pulled. Dark. Empty. I expected nothing but the absence of Vilas in this base, then there was nothing wrong with trying to check out this secret passage.

"Wow, wow. Stop!" Dova quickly blocked me when I tried to stick my hand into that big enough hole. "You must determine whether this is dangerous first, Suri."

"But it makes sense," said agent 43z. "The entrance is wide enough, and it looks like it ends at the other places."

"Mice!!" screamed Manda to the corner of the room. Perhaps the explosion drove the rats out of their bunkers in the ground.

I nodded. "I have a great idea."
