Mila and Jasha met with Aiden and Kolya in the hallway, in front of the door that leads to the narrow and long room which looks like an abandoned broom closet.
"There is a hatch that provides access to the basement.", Jasha said victoriously while pointing at the square-shaped metallic door on the floor. "It's too heavy for me to open it on my own, and Mila is not much of help."
Mila rolled her eyes. She is a girl, specializing in firearms, not a muscle freak like many others.
"What happened to you?", Mila asked Kolya when she noticed that he is limping. His leg is bandaged, but unless he pulls his pants higher, it's hidden.
Kolya waved that it's not important. "I made a mistake. I can walk, and I will not drag you down."
"But you are not much help in lifting heavy stuff…", Jasha said to Kolya derisively.
"Never mind him.", Aiden said to Jasha. "Let's see if the two of us can open this thing."
