Frell, Nina and Blucini are stuck in a mineshaft
"This is it, guys. If no one notices we're missing or that cave-in at the entrance, we're goners." Nina said with her head in her hands.
Blucini shook her head and hammered her fist into the palm of her other paw. "I vote we push further ahead. Maybe we can find another exit from the mine or an exit shaft to the surface. Frell can climb up then."
"And what if there's ANOTHER cave-in?" Frell argued. "Remember that? Your great idea to find the source of all corruption in a dangerous mine?"
"What if there's NOT?" Blucini countered, standing on her tiptoes to make herself look taller.
"Guys! GUYS! Shut up!" Nina yelled. "I have a headache and you're literally wasting air."
"So are you," Frell pointed out petulantly.
"Wasting air... air... that's it!" Blucini was hopping around from foot to foot, her tail lashing.
Nina stabbed her finger to her lips viciously, glaring, then pointed at her head.
The cat dropped to all fours and ran away deeper into the mine, leaving Frell and Nina in her dust.
"Where is she going now?!"
"I hate herding cats," Frell muttered. Her friends shared a look and neither budged, still sitting next to the collapsed pile of rocks.
Blucini's voice echoed back down the tunnel.
"Can't you feel that?"
"Feel what?" Frell asked loudly. Nina winced and tugged her ears down in pain.
"There's a breeze! There's air moving right here! And it's moving UP!"
