You wait for another moment inside the fence to confirm that the <span class="mu-s">NOTWOLVES</span> aren’t going to follow you… even when they don’t show up again you enlist Rodney and Raj’s help to lift a big metal crate in front of the hole! No surprises for you, thanks!
The yard leading up to the mine entrance is a ghost town… that’s what you hope, at least. Passing by the derelict trailers and abandoned mining machines on your way to the entrance, one of the bungalows catches your eye!
Bigger than the others, but not by much, the trailer sits in the center of the crowd relatively intact. A rusty sign with the word ‘<span class="mu-i">OFFICE</span>’ printed on it hangs by one loose bolt above an equally-rusty door.
“Looks like it’s been abandoned for a while, huh?” Remarks Rodney as you cautiously push the door open. You certainly <span class="mu-i">hope</span> it has!
To your pleasant surprise, you don’t get jumped, shot, or attacked upon entering the trailer–the only thing that greets you is a blizzard of loose documents strewn across the floor and an acrid blend of copper and mold tickling your nostrils! Plugging your nose, you make your way deeper into the mess and find an <span class="mu-s">AUSTERE METAL DESK, A DUSTY FAN, AN OLD MINI FRIDGE THAT YOU’D RATHER NOT SEARCH, AND A PILE OF FIVE LEDGERS STACKED ON THE DESK!</span> A corkboard with <span class="mu-s">KEY HOOKS</span> sits above the work area, but all of them are empty. Figures.
“Sheesh…” Mutters your ‘<span class="mu-i">Rival</span>’ as he too plugs his nose, “You’d think these guys woulda’ cleaned up all these papers if they weren’t gonna use the place anymore… any moron could just pick ‘em up and leave!”
Maybe, you frown, they just wanted this place to <span class="mu-i">look</span> abandoned… Though its drawers are already yanked open, you <span class="mu-i">do</span> find a memo sitting square in the middle of the desk surface…
>CONTD.
