28. Combat

"There's less light here. Walk along." He said and moved back towards the wall. Following him, I too moved alongside the wall. He then walked slowly with his hands groping on the wall. Without any further thought, I followed him in the same manner. I don't know where we were going, nor I have any idea of the way. I was just blindly following him. After a little slow and steady walk, he halted. So does I. He then turned around and faced me.

"We are going to climb up now." He whispered.

"Ok." I murmured. He then held the steel ladder and took a step. When he was up, I stepped on the ladder too. We were half way up the ladder, then the vibrating sound echoed around us.

"What is that?" The man said. "Shut it off." He muttered in a low voice.

"I can't." I said.

My hands shook, how can I just forget about it. "Let's go to kitchen." I said. There was only one way to get rid of this.
