Description
When I get to the pit, I toss the cases in and climb down.And they float.
Ever try to push an inner tube underwater? It's not easy. Now imagine two of them, fifty meters, totally submerged. If I wasn't sure flooding these would ruin the contents inside I would fill them up so they would be neutrally buoyant, but I can't, so I will be dragging them across the ceilings of the tunnels all the way home. Across pipes, grates, height differences, and even over door jambs which will be a struggle.
And I picked this entrance because it would be the quickest way in, and now I realize other ways in would be much easier if I had to drag cases that floated. I'd scream but that would use up too much air.
My life, you know? I suppose you don't because I am talking to myself again. The last few steps of this will be the hardest.
God, I can already feel the seals on my suit leaking. It is in bad shape. I'll need to do a blood test on myself to see how much poison got in, there is a point where you can flush it out over weeks and detoxify, and there is a point where you can't. It's a dead person walking sort of thing where there's nothing you can do but wait for the end to come. One breath will do you unprotected, and huge leaks over time are just as fatal too.
More to worry about.
I'm at three percent air too. I don't suppose that's a problem because I could always duck in and recharge, but part of me doesn't want to go inside unless I have the cases and I am ready to save her. If she is dead, I know, this is all for nothing, but another part of me wants to finish this, now.

Thanks, this is one of those 'oh s---' moments with the floating cases, how could she know? I love those moments. And then, of course, she may pay a price for what she just did with the broken seals on her suit, unavoidable consequences, just like life. She never knew they were broken, but in the water, she knows. Another 'oh s---' moment.
A lot of fiction, especially comic books, make things too perfect, and they telegraph everything ahead of time. Here, it's not the case, she dragged those f-ing cases halfway across the city, and then this? Arrgh! But as a reader, I love that. I love things being hard, problems coming up we could have never have seen, and life being as difficult and a pain-in-the-butt as life truly is. Even in those last few steps.
But making those last few steps separate the heroes from the rest.
