But They Found Something Else

Bursting into the room below, the lead officer called a halt. From where I was still in the tunnel, I could only see a little of what lay behind the door. From what I could see, the room beyond the door was empty.
It made little sense. Who creates a tunnel that leads from a building with no doors to an empty room underground. None of this made any sense at all. That was, at least before one of the officers found a switch and turned on the light.
