"Let's split up. You go in the basement, I go upstairs." Tiff suggested.
"Jeez, if you want." Katie muttered as her friend rushed off upstairs leaving her alone. "Let me go down into the creepy basement by myself. Like this isn't the bit in the movie where the girl gets stabbed or killed by a monster." Katie moaned. "Thinks she can boss me around just because she's got tits." She was only semi-serious about that. "Ha, now I'm talking to myself."
She descended into the cellar and was surprised to see that it wasn't quite the crazy science lab that she had imagined. In fact it was pretty much your average run of the mill basement, albeit one that hadn't been used for a few years. Dust and cobwebs were everywhere but otherwise there wasn't very much in there except cardboard boxes.
"Well... so much for that A." Katie said kicking around amongst the boxes. "This stuff is all junk." She kicked one box too hard and it hit the wall. There was a mechanical grating and a section of the wall slid back. "Ok, secret basement science lab..." She said quietly stepping forward into the darkness of the lab. "Should have brought a torch." She cursed, fortunately for her a few seconds later the fluorescent lights of the lab came on displaying something far more in line with what she had imagined. "Pay dirt!" She looked a bunch of stereotypical science stuff. "Hmm, for a mad scientist he sure had a lab that looked a lot like a high school science lab." She said as she looked around. There was a large cabinet in the corner of the large white room. "Man, this place is actually pretty boring too. Just a bunch of stupid jars and stuff." She picked up one of the containers... "Flu X? What the fuck?" She turned over the jar full of colourless liquid in her hands before losing her grip and dropping it to the floor. "Oh, fuck!" She said jumping back as the liquid hit the ground and turned into a white gas. "Jesus." She instinctively ran out of the lab and back up to where she and Tiff split up.
"Oh, did you find anything?" Tiffany asked.
"Uh, well. *ACHOO*!" Katie sneezed violently. "I, uh - kind of found a lab but it didn't really have anything in it." She shuffled her feet. "Come on let's go - this place gives me the creeps."
"If you're sure." Tiffany shrugged, leading the way out.
"I'm sure." Katie said before sneezing again several times.
