Laura smothered her mouth with her hand, muffling her screams as she fell backwards into the wall. Her companions rushed into the hall, Leo moving quickly to her side. She was breathless, bile rising in her throat at the image that was before her. One look down the stairs was enough to make even Leo turn away, pulling Laura with him down the hall. ‘There is someone down there. He hasn’t heard us yet but we need to get out, now.’ Laura was vaguely aware of someone shoving her bag onto her back, before stumbling down the hall. Leo led them into another bedroom, sealing the door shut just as the sound of footsteps could be heard ascending the stairs. ‘Over here,’ he whispered, hands searching the wall for something. He found it and pressed hard. A panel slid sideways in the wall, revealing a dark tunnel and Stella ushered everyone inside, Leo taking up the rear. He pulled the panel shut after them, and all was quiet. Stella moved to the front, pulling a torch from her bag, and led them down into the dirty abyss below.
