It smelled like feces in there and the only sounds were the occasional titter of a sewer rat. Darkness swung back and forth in the area as doors were opened and closed.
The underground, usually devoid of human life now had scatters of it. Three Systema Games guards stood in front of the room and one of them, the tallest, fished out a bunch of keys from his pocket. They jangled against each other, echoing in the eerie quiet.
The three guards lined them up, still holding them by their cuffs, like puppies in a shelter.
