The noise and surprise had sent him into the weeds. He found his feet just as Victoria found hers. “What was that all about?” she shouted. He took in the mine and the surrounding cliffs and hills. He could see a way down, but they'd have to continue along the cliff for another few hundred yards. Or they could go back. “I don't know.” He grabbed her hand. “Let's go. We can leave them behind and do this ourselves.” She hesitated for a moment, but seemed to relent. “Yeah, I guess that makes sense.” But she was clearly torn. She paused after only a handful of steps. “I...I don't know. What if we need help? What if they go looking for us?” Liam let go of her, appreciating her concerns. “They'll figure we went to the mine, just like we told them.” He hadn't even convinced himself. “No, we have to tell someone. Just so I can sleep at night.” He doubted anything would help him sleep at night, but she was right. “OK, we'll find the captain and tell him we'll be on our way.”
