“I will not have a panic attack. I will not have a panic attack.”
Connor muttered the words over and over as he crawled through the dark, claustrophobically tight tunnel. Roots and things that he didn’t want to think about too hard brushed against his face. Connor closed his eyes and carried on.
He had to do this to save Stephen.
He wanted to do this to impress Cutter.
He suddenly realised he might enjoy doing this when he opened his eyes and caught sight of Captain Ryan’s arse wriggling along the tunnel just a few feet ahead of him.
