Dex gave a happy smile and gave Raku a good handshake.  "Well we are looking for a snake, I just hope we arn't too late."  Dex then pointed to the basement door.  He then begans to open it and looked down into the dark under.  "The snake is down there.  And if I'm right, so is the snake's prey."  Dex began to put on his Goggles, which alow him to see in the dark (plus much more), and begins to wait for Raku to do the same.  "Kato is here.  But she is upstairs."  Dex then begins to talk into his head-set, "Kato, me and Raku are going into the basement.  Meet us there."  Dex then begins to move down the stairs.  He give a hand signal to have Raku follow.  "This is ganna be fun."
