Chapter 3
Spider made his way through the corridors almost randomly, but his chosen path was importent. By going in circles and backtracking once in the while he made his trail confusing to any who would try to follow him. After a while, Spider made a turn down a rarely used corridor. Down this way was a ruin down section of the factory where the Glukks decided it wasn't worth the cost to fix it and there was where his 'lair' was. He paused at a turn off, sniffing the area to see if anyone had come that way. Smelling nothing but his own scent, he continued on, ducking and weaving through fallen pipes and ceiling panels. He was careful to watch his step, for fallen pipes and ceiling panels weren't the only thing littering the corridor, he had strung up this corridor with bobby traps, to keep unwanted vistors out. Luckly no one had thought to try to look for him here yet, so he felt safe here. Still, as a precaution he set up several 'dummy' lairs which were placed in random locations in the complex, complete with there own set of traps. He would visit these places every so often to keep his scent strong in them and to reset any traps that were sprung.
He entered a large room, it was also littered with fallen debris and traps he had set up. He made his way to the far corner, where he had a heap of mattresses and blankets that served as his bed. He eased himself out of his pants and padded to a hidden doorway. More like a hole in the wall, which lead into a hidden underground tunnel. He made his way along in the tunnel till it opened up into a large cave. There in the cave was a hot spring, which somehow managed to stay pure with all the industry going on above it. It always had an odd smell to it but he didn't care as he slipped into the water and relaxed, letting the waters sothe his aching musciles.
He let his mind drift, wondering what it was like outside the factory walls, what it was like to be truly free. But he knew he would never find out what it was like until he ridded himself of his creators. Til then, he was trapped within these walls.
After a while he snapped himself back to reallity and grabbed a nearby med kit. He cleaned the wound on his hand and bandaged it, then he climbed out of the spring and made his way back up to the main part of his lair. He plopped himself down onto his 'bed' and let sleep claim him...
