The four of them walked along the deep, dark tunnel until they suddenly came to a fork. One path was even darker, utterly devoid of light. The other shimmered faintly with the rippling reflection of water, and the seawater at their feet was much deeper than elsewhere.
"Two paths. Which way do we go?"
"I've scouted ahead. The path with the deep water and light leads straight to the base of Morhaven. It's filled with concrete and rocks along the way, and the end is a dead end. If it weren't for the plant roots tangled all over, the weak tunnel walls would have been washed away by the encroaching seawater," Saul Sterling explained. "This path was probably just a mistake Morgan Sterling made while digging. Even though it was refilled, seawater still seeped in from the bottom. That's why this whole basement is flooded."
