CHAPTER EIGHTY-SEVEN OF DOOM
Roy, Caitlyn, and Yliaster entered the basement floor.

"With all due respect, can you give us a light?" Roy asked.

"I can try," Yliaster said. He picked something he couldn't see up and started smashing against it until it was lit by sheer friction. A small fire emerged from Yliaster's hand.

"Yep" Caitlyn confirmed. "The lighting was definitely deliberate. Look, the wire was snapped cleanly in half, no weathering from age, no rats chewing it. Someone was down here with a blade when Doyle was murdered."

"Niiiiio!" a voice said. "Yiiou cannot have figured it out that eeeasily!"

Yliaster pointed the ersatz torch in the direction of the voice. It was that tunneler who'd claimed that his team would win the arrow.

"With all due respect, who are you and what are you doing here?" Roy demanded.

"I? You know not who I ammmm?" he shouted. "I am Z Shiki, the greatest of allll warriors! And it took even I hours to figure out who Cedric Doyle's killer was!"

"You know who the killer was?" Yliaster asked hopefully.

"You know not his name, or his reputation," Z warned. "He is the Bane of Olympus! Torrin Wood!"

"No," Yliaster said gravely. "I indeed know his reputation. Torrin Wood, from the land of Diabla. He had a run-in with the Revolutionary Army some years ago. I'm surprised to hear he's still alive."

"Of course Wood is alive!" Z shrieked. "Nothing can kill him! Only give him big boo-boos!"

"We're never telling Rune about this conversation," Caitlyn warned. "We'd never hear the end of it."

"We have to go back up to the lounge," Yliaster said. "We've got to warn Rune, Darian, and the others about Torrin Wood before he strikes again."

Yliaster dropped the torch and the three of them ran back into the elevator, going straight to the first floor.

When the door opened, Caitlyn was the first to leave, then Yliaster, then Roy. They continued moving until they reached the lounge, which was considerably more full than before.

"Welcome back, Caitlyn," Fred greeted. "Hey, Roy and Yliaster."

"We were just going to get you," Rune said. "We got some intel from a couple new sources. Now we have more leads on the killer!"

"With all due respect, a couple new sources?" Roy questioned. "What sources could you have gotten this late?"

"Kaye Lockhart," Fred said.

"And Torrin Wood," Darian added, pointing at the man who had sent smoke after Doyle's body.
