Some distinctive buzzing noise came from the distance. Susan stopped breathing and listened. The sound was slowly approaching. It was not good. It was not good at all. It could mean only one thing - they have almost found her. She started to crawl away as quietlt as she could but it meant that her progress was way too slow. The floor of the cave was slippery and it was too dark to rush her movements. Suddenly, her fingers found a small opening in the side of he cave. She squized herself in and smeared her dirty hands all over her face. The buzzing sound was soon close, that she could now clearly distinguish it as mechanical. She saw the beams of light that came from the tiny lamps of the drones. She closed her eyes, held her breath and hoped for the best. There was nothing more she could do now.
