Hanging Over Us

Had something dropped, or was there someone else in these tunnels?

Everyone in the team drew their pistols, pointed them ahead, and waited.

Nothing.

The sound went away.

"Maybe something just dropped," Bobby said as we put our pistols back.

"Or whatever was in these cages did it," I replied while taking a close look at the cages.

The cages were around half a meter tall and half a meter wide.

Big enough for a dog to be kept.

Most likely cages for military dogs to control the POWs.

"What? It's been so many years; what was in these cages should have perished by now," Bobby said.

"After what we've gone through, I think it's possible. Besides, the Japanese Imperial Army is known for cruel experiments on living creatures. Better to be safe than sorry," I said as I shined my flashlight at one of the cages.

Amy Lee nodded and said, "Sam's right. If there's nothing here, let's move on."
