The first thing they needed to do was find Burt as quickly as possible. It wasn't a good idea to continue searching for the other man who had disappeared without at least finding their friend.
"Let's keep going straight," William said, "it's humanly impossible for him to have gone anywhere else."
The path was straight with no other way to go, meaning Burt had to have stayed on that path. William and Rena were sure of it!
Rena would have known if he had passed her. They continued forward, this time looking for any trace indicating Burt's presence. They found nothing.
This was a bit frustrating for them, but William found something else. He noticed that this sewer path looped around and ended up in the same area where he had found the torn shirt!
The shirt was there in the same place he had left it earlier.
"We're back here," William said, "I think Burt might be in the same direction I was following. Could he have been taken by the creatures down here?"
