Dark Secrets

You jam the steering wheel hard to the right and the boat digs in deep, sputters and then lifts like a rocket into a long cavernous passage. Both jet skis barely make the turn, but quickly recover and stay hot on your tail. The girl has finally stopped screaming, and looking down, picks up a long pistol.

"What's this?" She asks holding the pistol close to the windscreen.

"Quick, aim for the closest jet ski!" You yell over the roaring boat engine.

With one eye closed, aiming the outstretched gun, she fires. A bright orange flare miraculously finds it's way to the closest pursuer. His priestly robes explode in flames as the flare connects solidly with his upper torso.

The priest's screams echo off the limestone walls as his flaming body is hurled backwards into the remaining antagonist.

"That'll do" You say in astonishment as you re-evaluate the mystery woman from the locked room.

"What's your name?" You ask.

"Whitney." She answers, "But my friends just call me Whit."

Just then, you realize that the tunneling is rapidly growing smaller and you are approaching a jagged sandbar.

You drop the throttles and sluice the boat hard right. This move helps, but you're still going to hit the sand with some speed.

"Get ready to jump!" You scream while grabbing Whit's arm and lifting her to the gunwale next to you.

"Wait!" She cries, "There's a barbed wire fence on the beach!"
