Gus McGill was badly wounded. The electric cloud had took him by surprise and despite Frye's best efforts, his leg still lost blood. Now he wandered through the darkness, looking for a spot to hide in. His shotgun was lying somewhere in the electric cloud. He needed to gather his strength, wait until his body stopped shaking and for this damned cloud to disappear.

He found a tall, upright box, almost like a coffin. Upon closer examination, he discovered that it's lid could be opened like a door. It opened without a sound. What he found inside was even more surprising. The box contained enough space for a person and an additional stash of supplies. He found bottles with chloroform and morphine, a hunting knife and a lamp. Quickly he stepped inside and closed the door behind him. Utterly blind he tried to find the morphine in the dark.

Just as he found it, he stopped. He heard something. The dreadful silence of the labyrinth carried a something to him, that sounded like slow, careful and somehow muffled breathing.

It had to be close. McGill found a slit in the wood and peeked through it. Someone had dropped his or her lantern in the main room and it's light spread to the corners of the labyrinth.

Then he saw it. At first he only saw black shadows moving slowly on the ground. Then something red appeared behind them. A creature with black eyes and red body crawled over the ground, barely making any noise. It had no face, only those two glistening eyes. It had no mouth, but still McGill could hear it breathe.

Slowly the creature passed his hiding place and disappeared around the next corner. McGill didn't know how long he waited until he finally left this untimely coffin.

Now armed with the hunting knife, he went to find his colleagues. First he would return to the main room. He looked around the lid corner. The room was empty. Even the deadly cloud was gone. It could have been his imagination, but he thought he saw something moving at the other side of the room.

"Gus."

A voice whispered behind him. He turned around a looked into a pair of black eyes.
