Exhausted, even after over twenty hours of unconsciousness, I went back to sleep. No hunting for a good camping spot here, I just lay where I was. I did manage to pull one of the rucksacks over to lay my head on, but that was about all my body would allow. Four tranquilliser loaded darts, each singularly strong enough to knock out a man, has left me too lethargic to move much.

I’ve heard banging outside a few times, and once I awoke to a sound that could have been drilling, but I saw the thickness of that bunker door as I jumped through, and it must be two feet of solid metal. I don’t know what kind of metal it is, but I would imagine it’s meant to withstand a lot more than what Vigilants have with them.

For now.

When those guys radio back what they’ve found here, and that a fugitive has just locked themselves inside, I would imagine an army of techs, Vigilants, just about everybody, is going to descend on this place.

I’m in some serious trouble, now.

I also think I woke again, later on, to a much louder noise, but I can’t be certain. The ground vibrated for a second or so, but if it was an explosion outside I must have missed most of it.

Eventually my head started to clear enough for me to motivate myself, and I got up and used my headlamp to check that I still had everything. I did. I think the only thing that I lost was my rifle. Damn. I spent so much time working on and perfecting that thing, and now it’s at the bottom of that shaft, most likely in a thousand pieces. I guess I’ll have to get used to just short range handguns for a while – at least until I can replace the rifle.

Hmm. Maybe there are weapons down here.

Hopefully I won’t need them. My mother said to be careful down here, but she never mentioned any real, living dangers. Also if anything was living down here, they would need some form of food and this place has been sealed for years. Of course, there are things that walk and attack that don’t need inconveniences such as food and water, but I think my mum would have mentioned that.

I just thought; the doors to this bunker were open. I know it would be hard for anything to get down the shaft, without moving the platform, but realistically this place hasn’t been sealed, and anything could have gotten in here in the last fifteen years. I have to presume the worst. So, guns at the ready.

I’m ignoring the most important thing, here.

I made it, eventually.

I actually made it.

At least I think I have. The little digital output on the door panel showing my name suggests that I’m right where I’m supposed to be.

Now I just have to explore and find out what is beyond this entrance hall.

I put my
