They're 'Cooking' Here

Unlike before, we don't know how many thugs there were in this place so we'll have to be careful while we're advancing.

They might even be alerted to our presence by now and laid traps for us.

There was just a single corridor leading away from here so we proceeded through it in the same formation as before.

To make sure that the bastard who tried to trick us wouldn't try anything, we tied him up before leaving him to bleed out in a corner, all of us ignoring his cries of despair.

The corridor was also dimly lit with it being illuminated by barely functioning and flickering overhead lamps at regular intervals.

Another metal door was at the end of the corridor, similar in design to the first one that we used to come through.

As we approached the door, something moved out of the shadows and lunged towards Amber.

I wanted to raise my gun to shoot at the thug who had been using the darkness to hide himself but Amber beat me to it.
