"And how new is that?" he asked playfully. If she was going to be so guarded I guess I should be too, he thought to himself, it's true you could be thrown in with all sorts of people in this line of work.

"Well..." She had a careful think about this "...This quest might put you into double figures." Lexi wondered how close she had gotten. 'Probably should have guessed higher' she thought.

Thomas smiled, "Actually, you over estimate me, it's only my 8th" he admitted, he couldn't lie about his experience, he may as well be honest here without giving away details. "But I guess I could say I've had a fair amount of weathering at home, searches and situations of my own kind to deal with. The QA, however, and well all this" he gestured out into the smog that continued to encircle the, "this is something else isn't it".

"It's definitely something else..." Lexi looked around her, taking in the sights properly for the first time. "It really is a barren wasteland isn't it... I mean, I thought some parts of the Underworld were bad, and there are some other places I've been that are pretty grim, but this..." She left it there, not quite knowing how to finish her sentence.

A sudden gust of wind blew over them, made hot by the fiery sky. It seemed to scream. Howl in pain.
That wasn't the wind.
In the distance, something on the horizon. Something pale.
A man. Naked. On the floor, arms reaching for them. Crying.

In the silence, Lexi heard it. "What was that?" She looked around, her eyes searching the horizon. "Tell me you heard that..."

"That I did" Thomas shuddered; that sound was human, or something else like one, if his guess was right. "I have this feeling whatever it was has been carried over there" he said pointing vaguely into the middle distance. "But do we follow it to find out what? That's the question." But as soon as he said the words, Thomas knew the answer, his curiosity always got the better of him.

Lexi smiled. She didn't need to be a mind-reader to know what he was thinking. She was thinking it too. "Curiosity killed the cat, you know" but no sooner had she said it, her mind immediately threw up a response: 'We're already in Hell...'

"It might be someone that needs our help" Thomas said, attempting an air of responsibility that didn't quite match his unsettled composure. He looked to Lexi and back to the spot where the dust had settled, evidently awaiting her approval and back up.

"Well, we can't just leave someone out here in the middle of nowhere, can we?" Lexi tried matching Thomas's tone, but was also a little unsettled by the thought of someone moaning in the distance. "We'd best get moving then, they're not gonna be able to wait around forever in this place." Lexi started walking in roughly the direction Thomas was looking, hoping he'd follow. She didn't much like the idea of running into someone else on her own.
