The Underside Of Courage

"Adults have the right to disappear," they told her. "Your husband left you for another woman... There is no missing persons case we are going to file," they said. What would you do if you were Cathy Miller and the love of your life unexplainably went missing on your honeymoon? Appearances can be deceiving. But when suspicions rise, will she trust her gut and stop at nothing to find him?

Mariela

After being escorted through various hallow underground tunnels, Cathy, burdened with Augusto's tight grip on her, reaches the metallic silver door. The area around is dark and there is a certain gloomy quietness that roams the tunnel they're standing in. 

Augusto knocks on the door.

It swings open.

The first thing that catches Cathy's sight is Toni in a white lab coat. He excitedly rubs his hands together in anticipation, "Bellissima! Your presence has been long-awaited," he announces, "Come. Come in. Sit," he orders as he stretches his hand out to a confused Cathy, who tip-toes her way in the room.

As Cathy enters, she is taken aback by surprise. The room is like none other in the castle. The first thing she sees is scientific equipment, which occupies most of the space. It ranges from state-of-the-art microscopes to lasers and beakers. The beakers are attached to tubes that appear to be filtering the liquid into other beakers.
