The Unexpected

With a little jerk, the cart started as Mac pulled the lever. Both of them just hoped to find answers of what they are here for. The whole scenario made Mac realise that something very big was goiong on.
"A snail would be faster than this", Peter commented.
"Hmmm", Mac added though he didn't wanted to.
Slowly, slowly, a few rolls and then suddenly, a large fall came in the track. The were literally freely falling in the track. Peter held the cart handle much tighter than anything in this world and Mac was holding peter by his legs. 'What the hell is happening?", Mac yelled but it was iin audible. Cart slowed down in a up and both were relieved. They balanced themselves to face next down flow. As they reached the top of the loop, before falling, they saw something strange, terrifying. It was like a roller coaster ride and to add to there problems, the tracks were changing.
"How is this possible?", Mac asked in a shocked voice.
"I am going to resign after all this.", Peter told.
Ups and Downs, rise and fall- Peter was enjoying this but Mac was onto something else. He was observing the caves. "Someone is changing tracks right then, when we reach at a fix point.", Mac realise and informed Peter.
"So what do you think? Someone is looking at us? "
"Probably."
"No i am fucking sure about this.", Mac replied tensely when he obseved the cameras hidden at several places in that cave.
"Oh my god! He had been looking at us. What do we do now?"
"Jump!"
"Are you insane? I am not gonna do that . Never."
"Listen, you are in his got damn cart. He is watching you and can lead you anywhere he wants. Don't you understand?"
Anyhow, Peter had to agree to his orders and they searched for a location to jump. However, they were stupefied by absence of track after that.
"What th...", Peter paused.
"Jump now or else we will die. Jummmppppp!!!!!", Mac spoke while he dived off the cart.
Peter became nervous. He is in the cart and is approaching towards his death. What should i do???, he wandered.
Mac was running with him. As there was a rise, Mac was faster than the cart. He reached the end of the tracks. He looked down. It was about 250 m deep hole. "Damn it!"
The rear end of the track was loose. He was clicked by an idea and suddenly he took out his gun to use it as a screw driver for pulling out the loose nails of the track. One, two three, four, he pulled out and saw that the track was pacing wildly towards him.
"Hold my hand when you will reach here", he shouted.
Peter had already offered a hand to be held. As cart reache, Mac pulled him out and both of them fell on the sandy ground.
"Oh my god, i am alive. Thank you for saving my life. I don't know what..."
"Its alright. By the way, your life's worth more than me and you know that."
Peter recalled why he said so and felt a sense of responsibility for the country. "Yes, i know", he replied.
The cart had stopped as Mac had took off the tracks."We may need the cart.", Mac told, smiling.
"We will."
Peter ran towards the end to get a glimpse of where he would have been. "How deep it would be?"
"You have to jump to know that. C'mmon, jump and tell me."
"Ha.. ha.. ha.. Bad joke"
"How can we cross this?", Mac questioned.
"I have a plan."
"What?"
"We have to make our own track..."
Mac rushed with excitement to the end. "How long that would be?"
"May be 100 meter."
"OK. Peter, you pullout screws only from this end and i will pull from 200 meter from here. We will place the exact track in there."
"Yes sir."
They executed the plan and reached the other end but Mac was still tensed.
"Now what?", asked peter irritatingly.
"There are other cameras, he can still watch us", Mac looked at the camera pointing to them and told peter to bring his ears near his. "But why?", Peter was infuriated. "Don't worry, i won't kiss you". "Stop behaving childishly and we have to go inside by sticking to walls so that cams couldn't cover us. Got it", Mac murmured in his ears.
As per plan, they were separated and went ahead. Darker and darker, Mac couldn't see anything, still he was walking. He felt a wire by his side and used it to make a way outta there. Peter was afraid like anything . He took out his Gun and reloaded it. Breathing heavily and sweating, he remembered the last time he shot someone. The idea of it seemed horrible. 'How could i do this? I haven't done this, i haven't killed anyone, not anyone so close',he told himself. Some light he felt ahead and paced with the gun in his shivering hands. Now, he was able to see, faintly, someone was coming towards him. He closed his eyes and fired.
"Motherfucker, why the fuck are you shooting at me? You want me dead?", Mac moaned in pain.

Expedition to the "END"

To the wildest of his dreams, Mac cudnt believe that watever he has guessed was true, but he didn't knew that it was just a begining. Banging with the lateral sides of pipe, the camera was still able to send images back to Mac's PDA. As it peeked down further, there was a problem. No more wire. They need some more wire to see wat is actually goin on inside.
" Damn it!", exclaimed Mac and ordered Peter to go to the jeep and see if there is something that can help us out.
" I won't." Peter wanted to say this bt he cudnt. He never lyked this fucking job, even a l'll. Moreover, who wants to always heed to orders and end up listening to scoldings when the job can't be done. It was not even a step away, he had to bring it back from abt 0.25 km away. But still, Peter went out of the door and ran towards the jeep.
Mac was just wondering, wat might be down there. Two people vanished into it and we are left with no clue, but this only at last. This was his last chance to do something otherwise no one is going to believe the truth and every1 of us will die relentlessly.
"Officer........", Peter sighed taking in a large breathe as if he had sprinted all this 1/2 a km in 1/2 seconds.
" Mac...... ", Peter said again.
" Wat happened? Wat is the fucking matter with u?", asked Mac in a dominating voice.
" The jeep.... Our jeep is not there.", Peter relieved.
" Wat??? How that can happen? THis means we cant get out of here. WTF!!!!! There is not even any life in the entire village. We are trapped!!! ", realised Mac.
" Wat should we do next?", asked Peter.
" We cant do anything. We will just starve here for days and finally donate our eyes and bodies to those viltures and eagles who r starving up there. I fucking hate this job. ", answered Mac.
This is it. Peter thought that Mac has lost hope and it is him who sld take the charge. Despite of the unavoidable reality, Peter felt a bit of energy and said," There has to be a way out and we will find it out."
Without wasting a second, Peter found a line of wires lying by the wall and covered with sands. Thrilled with his l'll success, he cut off the wires and added to the existing wires of cams. Mac was just observing him, thinking thet he would end up at nothing. "Yeah!!!",Peter excaimed.
Mac ran towards the vessel pipe whwre Peter was operating and sighed in relief. They looked more down the pipe. A bit of moisture covered the cam's glass but it was okay. Next, the pipe diverged in two directions. Peter wanted to go to left and Mac to right. Taking advantage of his authority, mac moved to right. In that side, an even surface with rocks was found. Mac can also see the track that has been laid with a tram cart being kept there. It was a pretty long path and Mac knew that wires didnt allowed it. So he pulled the wires back and moved to the left. There was a strange darkness and it grew more n more. Still they pushed wires more and more, hoping for light. At some point, when they pushed again, the wires started loosing by its own. It seemed lyk the cam has fallen from some height. But now, there was something visible, very faintly. It was water. And then cam got disconnected.
"Puzzle. " Mac was trying to join the pieces together but he was not being able to do dat. But, Peter was smiling. He understood wat the matter was and praised his own presence of mind. He ran straight to the well and Mac too followed him. Looking down, he said," Dont u want to bath in this striking heat?" "What?", Mac asked puzzled. Taking his clothes off, he jumped in the well. It was not the same feeling as dat of an unplanned jump earlier. But he knew why he was there. In 5 mins, he came out of dat well. " Can i ask, why the heck u jumped there?", said Mac.
"NO", answered peter and laughed.
"Actually, i got the entire matter and a way out of it", said Peter.
"And how is dat possible?", eagerly asked Mac.
"The water, where this cam has been fallen was not htis well. Rather it was the other side of the well. There are 2 connected wells with this 1 being longer in size. I juumped so as to see if there is a connection between these two...."
"And......", Mac interuppted.
" And there was a connection. It is an iron gate. BUt there is a problem"
" Now, wats the prob???", Mac asked sounding deprssed.
" Its locked."
Mac appreciated Peter's intelligence but not infront of him. Mac knew how to unlock doors as it was his common duty but this time, its inside water.
" Then blow it off.", answered Mac after sometime.
" What? we cant blow it. Its inside water. ", urged Peter.
" Yes, we can.", said Mac and paced towards some of his belongings that he has put in sunlight as it has became wet aftr the unexpected jump. He took another mini c4 in hand and saw the intensity regulator and smiled. No less than James Bond, he felt himself. And took something too and moved towards the well. " Even c4 doesn't works in water, buddy", Peter quipped.
" Oh really", exclaimed Mac. He handed over the c4 to peter and took out a condom.
"Hey, wat r ur intensions?", Peter mocked.
" Oh! i want to fuck u b4 i die", Mac laughed and filled it with air and expanded it. Then, all of a sudden, he inserted that c4 inside it and sealed. That's it!
" Go and blow off the door." Mac told.
" Aren't u coming?"
" Im nt a very gud swimmer. We vil enter aftr u blow it off. "
Not a single min they wanted to waste and thus, Peter jumped.
Tackling the problems to tie it with the door, he finally mannaged to do that and hot out of well. Instantaneously, a heavy shower of water came out of tank with a comparitively less sound.
Both of them jumped and entered the other side of the well. Breathing was not possible there. As Mac cudnt breathe any more, Peter pulled him more and more and brought him to the right side that they have seen from camera. Never ever Peter wanted to do dat but aftr chest compression didn't worked out, he has to go for a mouth to mouth respiration.
"aaaaahhhhhh.....", Mac relieved.
Peter was happy to see that and they hugged. It was not at all difficult to breathe this side. They saw the tram cart and realised that they have to make a journey to the center of alll the happenings.
Both of them sat on the cart and pulled the lever.
No1 knew what is there in store for them, but they knew that they have to overcome it.

"Paitence is the art of hoping!!!"
