CB and Firefly walked through a long hallway, pitch-black but for the pale beams of their headlamps. There were signs of battle everywhere. Massive holes ripped straight through the walls, destruction that must have come from high-caliber assault weapons.

Firefly hadn’t talked much since they entered the reactor. He was clearly disappointed that the exterior doors had already been removed and he hadn’t had the chance to blow them off the hinges himself. CB was grateful for the silence. He needed to remain completely aware, not only for his own sake, but he also had to keep his ears open for communications from his team.

Up ahead, something caught his eye, and he raised his head so that his lamp illuminated it. The light revealed three sets of elevators at the end of the hall. Without electricity, they wouldn’t be functional, but they were still worth checking out. He motioned Firefly forward.

Something was jammed between the twin doors of the elevator on the left, propping them open. CB crouched down and took a closer look at the object. It was a dark green, military-style helmet. That fit with the bullet holes. This place had been heavily defended. The bodies would have been devoured by the vampires long ago, but it was nice to see there was still some sign of the battle where so many men and women died.

The elevator car was on this floor. CB turned to Firefly. “Hang tight for a minute. I’m going to peek inside.”

He twisted his way through the door, carefully stepping over the helmet. He didn’t think the doors would slam shut and cut him in half if the helmet was moved, but he wasn’t taking any chances. Who knew, with this ancient technology?

The elevator was empty save for a smattering of bullet holes. He pointed his headlamp at the elevator control panel. The buttons showed three floors, but what was really interesting was that below that. The numbers continued below 1 in reverse order, each with a G in front of them. G1, G2, and so on. All the way to G10.

CB grabbed his radio and spoke into it. “Folks, we found an elevator. It seems the facility has ten underground levels. This place is much bigger than we thought.”

He heard both Alex and Simmons curse into their radios.

“It’s gonna be one hell of a task to get a control panel from ten stories underground, Captain,” Owl said.

“That’s why we brought the rover. Besides, we don’t know it’s that far down.” He thought for a moment. “Here’s what we’ll do. Firefly and I will start working our way down. Alex and Drew, you check out the upper levels, then report back.”

“Roger that, Captain,” Alex said.

CB wormed his way out of the elevator and found Firefly standing next to a red door. He gestured toward the sign next to it. “Check it out.”

The sign said, Stairs.

“Excellent. Let’s head down.”

Firefly turned the knob and pushed on the door, then frowned. It didn’t budge. He pushed again and got the same result.
