The large metal door of the basement turned out to be locked, but Lara was too determined to just leave now that she had come all the way there. With her eyes closed, she took a deep breath and relaxed, and then slowly opened them again. Her two pointed fingers that touched the white-brown metal surface caused a series of ripples as if the door had turned liquid, and then followed by a deep exhale, Lara took a step onwards.<br/><br/>Everything went black, but a constant dribbling noise of water told her that she was safely inside. The only other sounds she heard were her own breathing and the quiet leathery creaking of her clothes. The air was damp and chilling, and as she moved her feet, the squelchy sounds let her know that there was shallow water also on the floor. Lara reached out at the wall to her right and felt the shape of a large metal pipe through her glove. She followed it slowly until it came to a wall, and forced her to let go and feel her way to an open doorway. It took her into a corridor that she went along for a while, until at its end, she started to perceive some dim light coming from behind a corner. The spooked girl wasn’t sure if it was just the dribbling water, or if there was something else there that caused the shadows to flicker.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
