The metal grille proved to be loose and easily removed (leading Stacy to
wonder if perhaps the others had come this way and left it open).
Carefully, she maneuvered herself into the hole, gripping the edge with her
fingers and letting her feet dangle. The floor was two or three feet below
the
soles of her shoes, and she dropped down to it easily. She wondered how
she was going to get back up again, though. It was only then that she realized that she didn't have a flashlight. Stacy took a brief moment to curse herself for several different kinds of fool, then pushed her frustration aside and proceeded to consider the situation logically. It really wasn't all that dark down here. There was light filtering in through the grate, and apparently from other grates farther down the tunnel. It was very dim, certainly, but once her eyes adjusted... Well, if she was careful, and the grates continued at regular intervals, she could probably find her way all right. At least until the sun set. She wasn't entirely thrilled about the prospect, though.
