We reach the central corridor.

Wider.

Brighter.

More guarded.

“Here,” I say.

“This is it.”

“They’re falling back!”Briggs calls.

Good.

Deeper.

Into the tunnels.

Into their last line.

I don’t hesitate.

“Push.”

We hit the main chamber—

And everything opens up.

Massive space.

Concrete.

Steel beams.

And below—

Tunnels.

Multiple.

Branching out like veins.

My stomach drops.

Because this?

This is the heart of it.

This is where they move people.

This is where they disappear them.

Rage hits.

Hard.

Cold.
