Corcoran was swimming fast against the current of the water, falling from above, the force of the swirling water was hard for him to push against and he struggled to get into the tunnel.

As he swam deeper into the rocky cave, the light faded fast from in front of him, until he was swimming in complete darkness. Feeling scared and unable to breathe, he quickened his pace, he couldn't go back now, it was too far for him to make it. He would surly die before reaching the others'.

He swam around a curve and saw in front of him a small flicker of light, shinning through the cave's passage. Swimming faster and with more haste, he reached the opening of the next water chamber and headed straight for the top, releasing the last bits of air from his lungs' as he reached the surface. Face first out of the water, mouth wide open, he inhaled as hard as he could, to get as much air into his body. Breathing hard, he moved to the closest edge of the wall. The edge was higher than the last chamber, he just about managed to reach his fingers' into some small holes' that lined the walls' edge. Corcoran could hear the bustle of life as he could hear people talking faintly.

Corcoran wasn't sure what to do next, he pulled himself up against the wall and strained himself to see over the ledge.

50.
