[QUOTE="talien, post: 4433338, member: 3285"] [b]McKinley Boulevard: Part 8 – Men at Work[/b] The basement windows were small, narrow, and at the ceilings—designed to let in light but baffle thieves. All the windows were boarded over. Though the walls of the upstairs were wood, in the basement the walls were of well-set stone. The house’s foundation had settled slightly in the southeast. A few inches of standing water covered most of the floor. Hammer, Gideon, and Archive shouted Kristian’s name, peering into different rooms. “Shh!” whispered Archive. “Did you hear that?” It sounded like a young boy screaming for help. They made their way into the laundry room, which was awash with several inches of foul-smelling water. There were wall faucets, but the water was turned off. Two pairs of concrete tubs with sides slanted for washboards rested on the floor. A locked door was set into the wall. Archive put his ear to the door. “I can hear him, but it’s very faint.” Gideon tugged on the handle but to no avail. Then he grabbed it with both hands and, putting all his strength behind it, strained to open the door. Hammer tried, then Archive, then all three together. They tried prying it open with a piece of metal Gideon found in one of the other rooms. “Screw this,” said Hammer. “Stand back.” He blasted both Glocks into the door at point blank range. Wood splintered and exploded, some of it puncturing outward. Hammer stared through the door, slack-jawed. “Son of a BITCH.” There was only a blank stone wall behind the door. Hammer stepped away from it. “There’s got to be another way around this.” Gideon put his ear to the wall. “Kristian? Kristian, can you hear me? We’re coming—“ Suddenly Gideon screamed. A lumbering corpse in overalls stepped out of the wall and wrapped its arms around him. It had an odd, mannequin-like appearance, as if it had been sculpted. “The Workman!” shouted Archive. Hammer turned, pistols still smoking, and unleashed bullets into the Workman’s head, decimating it. The head tumbled off the neck, separating into two of the homunculi who scurried into the wall, merging with it. It wasn’t enough. The Workman fell backwards with Gideon still screaming in his arms. They disappeared back through the wall. [/QUOTE]
