After our run-in with the poor, crazy Machop boy, Estelle, Nina, and I decided to try to rescue as many gijinkas out of this building as possible. Who could have the craziness to torture these poor people? It made me shudder even more. In the dim light I saw Nina pick up something from the floor. What was that?
We cautiously left the room, but the guard wasn't around anymore. He must've gone to check other hallways, hallways that might be housing even more gijinkas than we thought.
We kept walking slowly and quietly down the corridors, taking a left, and then we got to a fork. Go straight, or turn right? I sniffed, but it was hard to tell where the Shinx-girl went. The three of us stood perfectly still, not making any sound. Then I heard a faint voice say, as if verrrrry far away,
"Do you want to play a game....?"
That might be the girl we were rescuing! My ears swiveled to find the source of the noise, but Estelle was quicker. Nina, being a Nidoran and not a feline, didn't seem to hear the voice. Estelle pointed to the hallway in front of us, and Nina and I noiselessly followed. Only the tiny sound of Nina's shoes tapping the wet and dirty floor was heard.
After following Estelle down more corridors, and up two flights of even more dimly-lit stairs, she held out her hand in the universal sign for 'stop'. She stepped closer to a door on her right and listened intently. She looked back at us and nodded solemnly. The Shinx-girl was in there!
