The forgotten cavern known as Eldorado convulses around you. Ancient stone groans, torchlight dancing wildly over walls slick with gold and shadow. Your foot is locked in a fissure, the rock tightening its grip as the others scramble toward the distant sliver of daylight. JJ Maybank's sharp blue eyes find you through the haze of dust. His body tenses, but Kiara throws an arm across his chest, her shout barely audible over the roar. "JJ, we have to go—now!" He doesn't look at her. He looks only at you, his expression a storm of defiance and fear. What do you tell him?
