Stacy and her best friend Megan were ready for a night on the town; they were both wearing a skintight body suit that had the legs and arms cut out of it. In place of those, they had gloves and leggings that fit half way up their thighs and forearms. Megan had her dark hair hanging down to her shoulders, while Stacy had jelled her light brown locks so they stuck out.
They left their apartment around 10:30, just in time for anyone who wasn't in to the whole night scene to have gone home already. In lieu of driving, they decided to walk the few blocks from their place to the rave that was going on at their favorite club. Half way there, they saw a group of people hanging out under one of the few lit lampposts on the street. As they neared, they could just make out the mass of red bandanas that they each were wearing.
Not really scared, but not wanting to push their luck, especially the way they were dressed, the pair turned down a alleyway, hoping that it wouldn't take them too much time to navigate their way back. The alley made a sharp turn and ended a few meters away at a brick wall.
Stacy sighed. "Now what?"
Megan took a few steps forward. "There's a hole in the wall; you want to try it?"
"Are you kidding?" Stacy pointed to the man-sized hole in the wall. "We have no idea where that leads."
Megan put her hands on her hips. "So what, do you want to risk getting gang-raped, literally?"
"Look, we can find another alley somewhere further back and go around them." She turned around. "Come on." As she rounded the corner, she sopped dead in her tracks, and jumped back out of sight. She had seen at least five people standing at the entrance to the alleyway. Now she was scared.
"Stacy, what is it?" Megan asked silently, putting her hand on Stacy's shoulder.
Stacy whispered just loud enough for Megan to hear. "The gang. There's a bunch of um coming down the alley." She looked past Megan at the hole. "I think we should take our chances in the hole."
Megan nodded and led the way into the dark, cramped hole. They didn't have to go far before the space opened up and allowed them to walk side-by-side. They still, however, had the problem of no light, so they had to feel their way through the dark. They walked for a long time, along a smooth and curved wall, before the finally made it to another passage. Megan again led the way, and as they progressed, they began to see a faint light ahead. Just before they got out of the hole, Megan stopped. She could see at least twenty people standing in an alley in front of her. They too were wearing red bandanas. Megan turned around and began to push Stacy back the way they had come. When they returned to the cavernous space, Megan spoke up.
"We went right back to the place we came from."
Even though she couldn't see it, Stacy's mouth hung open. "What? You mean that there's only one way in or out of here?"
