The Sewer mystery
On a dark street glimmers a light on the corner of a building that buildings name was Krew and Cranks. The two were known for there work under the city They would investigate any strange thing rumored to be below. However on this night. something else happened around 8:47 pm they were getting ready to close but just as Krew was cleaning out the back he heard a ring at the door. He told Crank to go check it out so Crank went to the counter there was a man dressed in a suit a suit that was torn the buttons on the suit were hanging on by a thread and the fabric was falling off of his coat. "Can I help you?" Crank asked the man The man simply nodded and showed Crank a pictured on his phone It was hard to make out because his phone was cracked. But Crank could see a strange figure in the back of the tunnel. He could see the figure had a distorted neck and the arms were bent a bit out of the bone. "Where was this?" he asked the man no response came from the man instead a cough of blood and then the man fell knee first on the black textured floor. The man then became unconscious Crank ran to the Back room to grab the phone off of the wall "Whats going on?" Krew was then left with a hand telling him to wait. Crank dialed 911 and told them to come to the store quick..

About 18 minutes after closing time they finally arrived They explained that the man appeared in the store in the same torn clothes he was wearing and showed Crank a picture Crank grabbed the mans phone but it was locked. And he couldn't get the password since he was uncouncious. Crank slid the phone into his pocket while the police officers were chatting about something ..An officer walked up to them and told them that they were going to have to go with them back to the station for further investigation. They had no answers so the police let them go and instead tryed to get the man from the hospital to question. Crank told Krew about what he saw that night and decided they could make a good deal from this investigation. All they needed to know was where that sewer was and the only way to get that answer was to either get the phone hacked or to speak to the man in the hospital. They both agreed that the man would be quicker so Crank turned the key into the car and drove off to Mary Days Hospital. Around 2.1 miles later they were close to the hospital By a manhole is the back alley next to wallys Laundry Lounge Was a figure that was crawling down into the sewer. Crank quickly turned into the parking lot and Wallys Krew got out while Crank turned the car off. Krew ran over to the manhole and lifted it up with his right hand with his left hand he reached into his Jacket pocket and pulled out a flashlight. He turned it on to see a pack of mice running down the side and a road of water going down the archway. Crank came up behind him and held the manhole open as Krew climbed down on the other side of the ladder he saw a tentacle go into the water "Hey Crank I think I just saw something" Crank then slid the man hole onto the concrete and climbed down closing the hatch above them. "What was it buddy?" Crank asked Krew was looking around the spot where the tentacle was. "Some weird white tentacle when down the drain" Crank then asked Krew Are you sure thats what you saw? Not. a rats tail?" Crank chuckled but Krew didn't laugh. "Hey cheer up I'm sure its something" Crank told Krew cheerfully Krew then looked at Crank in the direction he was looking there was a chained gate with A tentacle wrapped around it. "Hey look at the gate behind you!" Crank turned around he to saw what Krew was looking at quickly pulling out his phone to take a picture Krew looked at the wall to there left it was full of graffiti. But he saw one picture that stood out It was a black hooded Creature with white tentacle arms. "Hey whats this?" He asked Crank as he pointed to it "Not sure" Crank responds as he takes a picture of it. We should get this gate open Krew inspected the tentacle looking at any weakness he can find in its skin he spotted a tear in its flesh with a small rod in it. Crank walks up and pulls it put of the flesh and the tentacle whips away through the crack in the wall. "Woah did you see that?!?" Krew looks at Crank as if they haven't seen things like this before. They push the gate open to see a mysterious figure down the arch way Crank takes a picture but the picture doesn't show the figure "Hey Krew check this out.. The picture its not in it" Krew shakes it off "you probably Just missed it Crank" They begin walking down the pavement walkway. A tentacle appears around the corner so they both run down the walkway Crank gets grabbed by the tentacle as it pulls him down the sewer Drain Krew runs over to see hes already gone... Krew looks around. him to make sure theres no tentacles to pull him around to. He used the rod that was dropped while Crank was being dragged into the drain. He trys prying the bars ofs the drain He pulls the bar breaking the rod as the ground vanishes feom below him and falling into the void.
