Chapter 8: Hollow Ground

The quartet,on Mars' Explorer,followed far behind. Mars hovered high above,eyeing the limousine through the clouds. The limo halted near a silent part of town. Mars whipped out his cell and sent a message.

Domovoi's phone buzzed in alarm. After reading it's contents,he placed the phone away. "They stopped up ahead. We'll park here and stalk by foot." The rust-bucket screeched at the side of the road. The gang hopped out of the off-roader silently. Saber tapped on Hel's bare shoulder. "Has there ever been a case like this?" Hel shrugged. "Yes,but never out of paperback." She snickered at her joke and caught up with the duo. Saber eyed the trio,thoughts running about her head.

"Where'd they go?" Hel asked Prometheus. The group moved up and hide in a nearby bush,with Prometheus attempting to no avail. He tore down a tree and held the foliage over his head. He shrugged at Hel. Domovoi mumbled. "The car's gone." Mars landed onto the 'tree'. "The ground opened up,the car drove in." He nodded towards a part of the path. Amongst the asphalt,a faint trace of a rectangle can be seen. "Where's Prometheus?" He asked. The 'tree' grunted back. Mars turned to Hel with a look of betrayal before a large,muscular arm grabbed him by the neck.
