a large oval room of rusting metal, with pipes spilling water through a large grate on the floor.
abe pulls off his breathing apparatus. activates the locator on his utility belt. hellboy does likewise. beeep! the devices synchronize.
waiting above, hellboy chews a baby ruth and pokes around. finds a pile of children's shoes covering some yellowing albums. in the albums, a myriad of sad faces, the orphans from the past.
abe staggers out of the pool and hides behind a crumbling shower stall. behind him, two shapes come to the surface.
hellboy enters to find abe, bleeding but alive, leaning against the tile, blue blood all around him. hellboy tries his walkie-talkie. turns on his locator. it sparks. it's damaged and broken.
