He understood as he saw Sasha waiting for him to move. He quickly crawled pushing the rifle in his hand ahead of him. Once he was a bit further away from her, he looked back to check or her. "You coming or what?", he asked her.

"Just a minute..." she said, wrapping the exposed ends around the light, then replaced the panel and got inside the tunnel. Slowly shutting the door, she reached around, flipped the light on, and retreated her hand just in time to miss the door by millimeters.
"Go!" she commanded, moving as swiftly away as she could; thirty seconds to make it twenty or thirty feet, and this part of the tunnel was low and narrow, making such navigation slightly difficult. Still, she got outside the range with good time, and slowed. "Well, now there most certainly is no going back. Shall we?" Looking down the length of their passage, she saw that the tunnel stretched a good distance. This would be a good long walk into town...

They walked/ crawled for some way through the tunnel before stopping to rest. It was hot in the tunnel, certainly no place to stay. He took a bottle of water out of his large pant pocket and drank half of it. Closing the cap, he threw it towards Sasha.
"Bloody hell...", he exclaimed as he rearranged the strap of the semi-automatic on his back. He just hoped they reached the town fast before somebody came behind them.

Sasha caught it and took a short swallow. She was used to heat, even stifling stagnant air like this, so it didn't affect her but a bit. "Come, we need to move" she said, urging him onwards. Surely he would not object as she passed him after reaching the larger part of the tunnel, the lights dimming just a bit. "Well isn't that nice... hope you aren't afraid of the dark boy. Grab my belt loop if the lights go out and try to keep up."
Taking the lead, she pulled the P90 around, prepared to shoot even a shadow that moved. Hopefully Riker would last the trip; it'd be hard to drag him across the tunnel, should she choose to do so...

He slung the hunter rifle on his back as well and took his knife in his hand, just in case there was somebody in the shadows. He smirked, "Afraid of the dark! It was my only friend back in the camp." He kept quiet as he moved forward, determined not to give away his position if someone was hiding in the darkness.

Sasha looked back, grinning. "You know, I am beginning to like you. Whether that is a good thing or not is left to be determined..." Pulling a combat knife she'd stashed on her own, she carved a bit out of the grip, setting the gun to semi-auto as she held the knife neatly in the grip. It was a tactic she'd learned from her father, who'd been in Iran's special forces back when Saddam was still a threat... Turning back, she cocked her head forward just as the power failed.
"Brilliant."
The flashlight on the front of her P90 PDW *corrected* was handy, allowing her to aim and see at the same times. The high-powered torch pierced the darkness very well, giving away most of the shadows big enough to hide someone. Continuing onwards, she kept her guard up, prepared to attack at an moment's notice...

He didn't say anything to her, there was no need to. As they crept forward slowly, he felt something push against his leg at the shin. His eyes went wide for a moment and he said, "Sop moving now. There are traps, wires. Look down." As he told this to Sasha, he slowly moved his foot back and crouched down to follow the wire to the side.
"Wire to grenades. We are lucky you stepped over it. Check if there are any more ahead of you...", he knew she would, he didn't have to say it.

Sasha stopped immediately, closing her eyes slowly; something was directly under her foot, and she'd heard a small click... "Riker," she started, "Go around me, carefully, and get away from here, as far away as you possibly can..." She looked down, training her gun to the ground; yep, her foot was definitely on something... "Do not argue with me, just go... Understand? Here..."
She unslung her P90, handing it to him as she said "I'll be fine. I've made my peace. Cannot say I know if you have or not, but go, now." She gave a smiling nod in the dark... perhaps this would be her end if she did not get that pin back in, but she wanted at least for him to get out...

He turned around to look at her and frowned, snatching the flashlight from her hand, he pointed it at the ground. He sighed as he saw her foot on something. He couldn't make out exactly what it was.
He took the gun she handed him and looked at her for some time before she spoke, "I will be d**ned if I let you die... in here, like this. Now stop with the crap about making your peace and get to work. I am not going anywhere without you. And like you said, there will be no argument over this...", he added before she could say anything. He nodded at her foot and waited.

"Go... dammit... These things have fuses too, ya know?" She pulled the other gun and pointed it at the underside of his chin before he could do anything else, feeling her foot slid just a tad bit... "Unless you wish to die here. With me. Then I'd be glad to lift my foot..." Sasha didn't think he'd be so stupid as to die when he had a chance to run and live... no one was that stupid. Not even him... Besides, if she lived long enough, she might be able to disarm it, but with him around...
"Besides... I..." She thought about it, and thought it was the right thing to do. "I care about you... and you have much more to live for. No one knows your past, and no one needs to... I've wasted enough words, now move your ass or I will end your misery. Here. and. now."

He was shocked to hear her say that. He didn't know if she meant it. But it was all he had right now. He didn't even flinch when she put the gun to his neck having gone through the 'staring-death-in-the -face' routine too many times at the camp with his 'fellow' gang members. He had the P90 in his hand but knew threatening her in return might do no good. Besides he didn't know if she was right about the fuse in the mine. If she was, they didn't have much time. There was only one thing he could think of.
He looked down over the gun at the mine. It seemed she hadn't realized it but her foot was just an inch away from completely uncovering the mine. He looked back up at her and smiled. Moving just a bit forward, he placed his own foot on the exposed area of the mine. The gun was now pressing against his neck. With a gentle but forceful push, he moved her back completely off the mine.
He stopped smiling, "Now that our roles are reversed... I guess its my turn to tell you to get away because I know I won't be able to diffuse it. I gave you my word and I intend to keep it." He just hoped she was not crazy enough to shoot him now.

Shocked by the reaction, all she could do was stare. "You idiot... This whole place is rigged with-"
And that was about all she got out before the explosion went off, her foot passing through the trip-wire for the mine that he had just nearly tripped... Even if she'd ran, the mass shrapnel would have killed her, but being this close... she couldn't... no, she wouldn't have survived at all. No human could conceivably survive the blast without major injury... the last thing that ran through her mind before darkness overcame her was How ironic that we should go out together...
