Among the mysterious, and unkown

Alex stops for a moment and turns to face Slade with a dumb founded look on his face. "What street do you live on?" Alex asked laughing to himself.

"well i think slade will appreciate not having to walk through the sewer." cynthia said smiling while wrinkling her nose

"Thank you Cynthia. It's in the direction we ran to get to the warehouse," Slade said appreciating Cynthia's understanding, and feeling frustrated at Arks.

"hmph" Alex then turned and began running down the area that they had gone from to get to the warehouse. He begin announcing where they were at that moment. "We are currently under the Winking mouse. a few more blocks and we'll be at a resturant, Which direction Do I go from there?" Alex asked slade who was behind him.

"WAIT!" cynthia yelled "if we are under the motel then we could sneak up to my room and i could get some clothes and cash." cynthia stated staring back and forth between both consious boy pleading with her eyes.

"Okay. If you can do it, then go," Slade said hoping she would be careful.

Alex stopped immediatly and sighed. "what room is yours Cynthia? Slade I want you to stay down here too with her and Jordan, I'll go up alone and get her stuff..." Alex said who was now getting a bad vibe. "I don't want Cynthia to go up there, They could be waiting for her."

"They don't want her. They want Jordan, and me. But just be careful Alex," Slade said trying not to imagine what Lavendar would do if he, or Cynthia were caught.

"room twenty. and i would rather go up with you i know where my suit case is and my money and i dont want to have to stand down here in the sewer." cynthia pleaded

Alex sighed which has recently became a bad habit. "Fine, fine You can come with, Slade, if you hear gun-shots or anything run down this sewer about 10 to 20 feet then wait for us. It'll be dark in here without Saimax lighting it up for you." Alex said as he began to lift Cynthia onto his back so he could climb the ladder to get out of the man-hole.

"thank you." cynthia said trying not to squirm while arkz moved her around to his back.

As alex begins to climb he quickly pushes the man-hole out and over then notices that the street is sealed off from all cars due to the explosion, as he climbs out of the man-hole with cynthia on his back, he casually walks towards the Winking mouse letting Cynthia off of his back.

Lands on the ground in the sewers after jumping down from the man-hole above. "Shall we get going then?"

"thank you." cynthia simply stated and held her suit case in one hand behind arkz back.

"No problem, Hey we should start heading out don't you agree Slade?" Alex asked looking towards slade, Saimax began glowing again lighting up the Sewers.

Alex nodded and began walking in the direction Slade had directed him before. carefully listening to each tunnel before heading forward. He would throw the occasional glance at Cynthia who was in his arms, sometimes hold her closer her to him.

"how long before we get there do ya think?" cynthia asked looking up at arkz "i know im spoiled by not having to walk in here...but it stinks to." cynthia smiled sheepishly
