An hour earlier…

The two dog handlers converged at the mining entrance. Drawing their rifles, the dog handlers walked to within a couple feet of it, noting it was blocked by a metal gate. The blond tried to open it, but it wouldn’t budge. The bald guy saw the blockage: a metal bar wedged inside the interior of the gate. He removed his sidearm and shot at it. The bar fractured in two, and the gate swung open, allowing the men to barge inside with their rifles up. Kicking up a trail of dust, the dogs ran ahead. The two men turned on their mag-lights and followed the dogs, oblivious to the steep decline ahead. Their run came to an abrupt stop when the sudden drop took them by surprise. The two men plummeted down the shaft, somersaulting and tumbling until they were spit out through the loose grate at the bottom.

The blond took the brunt of the fall. He landed headfirst on the mound of rocks at the bottom, splitting his head wide open. The bald guy landed on top of him, which helped to break his fall. He pulled his comrade down with him to avoid the falling rocks shooting out of the vent. At the bottom, the bald guy rolled his partner over. His body remained limp and unmoving. Bits of brain leaked out of his head like engine coolant. He was dead.

If he had any remorse, little was shown. He eyed his fallen comrade with a look of indifference. He got to his feet and strode off to find the two dogs who were going berserk in front of another metal gate. He tried to open it, but it wouldn’t budge. A cable wire was wrapped around the door and frame. He unraveled it, and then tried the gate again. It opened. The dogs bolted away as soon as the gate opened, disappearing down the shaft into the darkness. With his mag-light pointed ahead, the man ran after them.

Ten minutes later, the sound of the barking dogs stopped. The only sound that remained came from the man’s own breathing and footsteps shuffling along the rock covered ground. Puzzled, he wondered if the dogs had met their own end. They must have, or they would have answered his call.
