Chloe sniffed with him, but only detected the dusty, dank scent of old earth. They tried the right tunnel, but after the first turn, it was blocked by a cave-in. They turned back and went down the left tunnel.
An old rail track appeared a few yards down the tunnel, and they walked down the center, careful not to trip over the rail ties. Up ahead, a ceiling beam had fallen and blocked the path.
“We should go back,” said Ambrose. “If the beams have broken, it could cave in.”
“One moment,” said Chloe. “May I have the lamp?”
Up against the wall and hidden by the fallen beam was a crate. Ambrose pulled open the lid. Chloe held the lantern up and smiled.
“There we are. More coins, paper scraps,” she pushed things aside. “Is this a can of that solvent?”
Ambrose took the can and opened it. Inside was a dark powder, though she could not tell the color.
“It needs liquid to reconstitute it,” he said. “Do you want to take it with us?”
“No. Let me take a sample though.” She pulled an oily rag from her satchel and tapped a small pile of powder into it. She knotted the cloth and put it in the satchel. “If the hound comes back, I don’t want him to get frightened off if his hiding place is disturbed.”
“Do you think it would behave like that?”
“I don’t know. I see that it is applying a repetitive behavioral pattern to new situations as it encounters them. And it is choosing to place objects in consistent hiding places.”
