there are underground tunnels that are
under the schools um elementary junior
and high schools all over the place
um they exist everywhere
uh youve I'm sorry
you yes where yes
there's they lead to amusement parks
they lead to
hospitals um cemeteries
schools uh celebrity homes
um psychic shock
uh they lead
everywhere you mentioned uh in one of
your previous interviews that it's like
a whole other world down there can you
describe it to us what what happens down
there yes there's every means of
transportation there's every Walk of
Life there's
um there's there's cities there's I've
been a flooring installer for quite a
while now and it's safe to say I've
built a reputation for being one of the
best in the field what started as just a
trade I learned has grown into a
business I can call my own every job I
take on comes through a flooring company
they provide the tiles whether it's
vinyl laminate or hardwood and I handle
the rest once I'm assigned a location I
head over to the house Tools in hand
ready to transform a space from the
ground up but here's where where the
story gets
interesting you see I don't do this
alone two other guys work with me good
men both of them they're newcomers to
the country trying to get on their feet
while supporting families back home it's
not just about the paycheck for them
it's about survival about keeping things
afloat for the people they care about
thousands of miles away they've shared
their stories with me the struggles the
sacrifices
and the endless hope that this work will
lead to something better now I'm
technically the boss I call the shots
decide which jobs to take and which ones
to pass on but here's the thing I've
always listen to them whenever a new job
comes in they ask me to accept it they
tell me it's not just about money it's
about building something together about
staying busy learning and gaining the
skills they'll need to possibly open
their own businesses one day and because
of that I take on every job I can not
just for me but for them too it's more
than just work it's mentorship a kind of
Silent agreement between us I know that
one day they might Branch out and start
their own flooring companies and
honestly I'd be proud of that teaching
them guiding them it feels like a
responsibility one I don't take lightly
after all someone once gave me my start
and now it's my turn to pass that
on one day we were in the middle of a
job when my phone rang it was the
flooring company and the guy on the
other end said he had something big for
me he started by saying you're the best
at what you do and we need this done
perfectly because the client is
Diddy now I'll be honest I didn't know
who Diddy was I've never been one for
social media or keeping up with
celebrities
sure I listen to music but I don't
usually connect the songs to the artists
behind them the guy went on to say the
job was for a 10,000 ft basement just
the basement let that sink in 10,000
square ft I couldn't help but think what
kind of house has a basement that size a
job like that isn't something you knock
out in a day or two it takes at least a
week maybe more even if you're working
non-stop
I put the call on speaker so my team
could hear as soon as I shared the
details their excitement was contagious
how much are they willing to pay one of
them asked so I asked the guy on the
phone and he laughed let's just say the
flooring company is going to make good
money and so are you you'll make so much
you might want to take a vacation for
months after
this that got my team fired up take the
job they said it's fine if it's tough
we'll handle it one of them even added
don't call anyone else we three will do
it ourselves that way we split the money
fewer
ways hearing their enthusiasm I couldn't
say no I agreed to take the job and the
guy sent me all the details telling me
we'd start on Friday he added the faster
you finish the more you'll make that was
all the motivation we
needed we wrapped up our current job and
decided to take the rest of the week off
to conserve our energy my team wanted to
hit the ground running on Friday ready
to work as fast as possible for me it
was a chance to spend some quiet time at
home with my wife and kids before diving
into what I knew would be a grueling but
rewarding week when Friday finally
rolled around I picked up my crew early
in the morning and we headed to the
flooring company to pick up the
materials for the job we were ready to
work hard but nothing could have
prepared me for what I saw when they
brought out the tiles it was Lux touch
tile a handcrafted black marble tile
incrusted with diamonds abalone shell
mother of pearl and black
onx just one square foot of it cost a
staggering $1
million that meant the tiles alone for
this basement were worth $10
million I couldn't believe it who was
this Diddy guy I was used to working
with expensive materials but this was on
another level entirely and my guys on
the other hand were in awe for a
different reason if the floor cost this
much one of them said imagine how much
he's going to pay us their excitement
was through the roof as we loaded the
remaining tiles into the truck and set
off for the job
site after about a 30-minute drive we
pulled up to the property and calling it
a house would have been an insult this
place was a palace massive Gates
towering walls and security guards
everywhere
the kind of place you see in movies or
read about in magazines but never think
you'll actually step foot
inside as we approached security stopped
us at the gate before we could even get
in we were told we'd have to hand over
our phones then came the paperwork Pages
upon pages of forms we had to sign my
crew not being fluent in English just
signed without hesitation but I skimmed
through some of it and what I read gave
me pause
the papers weren't your standard
liability waivers about damages or
property protection they were full of
Clauses about confidentiality strict
rules about not talking about anything
we saw not asking questions and keeping
everything we did private it felt
excessive even for a job like this but
my team was already urging me to hurry
up and sign it's probably just about
damages they said no big
deal I wasn't convinced though the
doctor documents didn't mention damages
or anything like that it was more about
secrecy which made me uneasy but I also
didn't want to hold things up my team
was counting on me to make this happen
and the pressure to move forward was
real so against my better judgment I
signed the papers too with that out of
the way the security guards finally
opened the gates and let us in as we
drove onto the property I couldn't shake
the feeling that we were stepping into
something far bigger than just a
flooring
job we were unloading our tools ready to
get started when a guard approached us
and said no need for that all the tools
you need are already inside just bring
in the tiles that caught me off guard it
wasn't normal for the tools to be
provided but we went along with it
leaving our equipment behind and taking
the tiles
inside once we stepped into the Mansion
it was like entering another world every
everything was covered in those
luxurious tiles sparkling clean and
almost unreal in how polished and shiny
it all was the place was massive but
strangely empty no family no staff just
a few guards standing around and cameras
cameras everywhere watching us from
every angle after a few minutes a woman
appeared and guided us down to the
basement at least that's what she called
it but when we got there it looked
nothing like any basement I'd ever seen
it was more like a tunnel long narrow
and sterile and freezing the air was so
cold it hit like walking into a giant
freezer they even handed us jackets to
wear I couldn't figure out why it was so
cold but the chill added an eerie
feeling to the whole
place unlike the rest of the Manion
there were no cameras in the basement
that struck me as odd the house was
under constant surveillance but here
nothing it felt intentional like they
didn't want anyone knowing what was
about to happen the tiles we were
supposed to install weren't even there
the floor had already been stripped bare
before we could start the guards told us
we'd have to wait they needed to bring
down some bags first then they explained
that the bags would be buried under the
tiles and only after that could we start
installing them
we waited confused and uneasy until the
guards finally returned carrying heavy
bags the moment they entered an
overwhelming stench filled the air like
rotting meat mixed with something Frozen
some of the bags looked fresh almost
like slabs of meat you'd see at a
butcher's shop While others were older
discolored and smelled even
worse as the guards laid the bags down
in neat organized rows I noticed
something that stopped me cold each bag
had a label a name not just random
labels but real human names my heart
sank I didn't know what was in those
bags but the names made it impossible to
ignore the horrible
possibilities I couldn't stay quiet I
asked one of the Gods what are these why
are you burying them under the
tiles he looked at me with an expression
so cold it sent chills down my spine do
your job he said and don't worry about
ours even my team who had been so
excited about this job looked shaken the
fear on their faces mirrored my own but
we were here now and there was no
turning back once the guards finished
placing the bags they stepped back and
gave us the goahead it was time to
start as we worked it started to make
sense why the basement was so cold it
wasn't just about keeping the tiles or
the material in good condition it was to
mask the
smell the freezing temperature kept the
stench from overwhelming us completely
but even then it was still
unbearable the more I thought about
those bags and the names on them names
like Vince Michael and others the more
convinced I became that these weren't
just random packages these were humans
slaughtered to the Bone and stuffed into
bags the realization wouldn't leave my
mind every time I bent down down to lay
a tile I couldn't shake the thought of
what was hidden underneath the secrecy
surrounding this job made sense now Why
They confiscated our phones why they
made us sign those papers and why we
were told not to question anything we
were covering up something horrifying
and they wanted to make sure no one ever
found
out the cold was relentless cutting
through the jackets they had given us
and it wasn't long before exhaustion
began to set in with a 10,000 ft
basement to cover we knew we wouldn't be
able to finish in one day by the time we
decided to call it a night and return
the next day all we wanted was to leave
and get away from that place even for a
few hours as we were cleaning up a guard
came over and stopped us did he need you
to stay here tonight he said he doesn't
want you driving back just to return in
the morning you'll sleep here and start
again first thing that was the last
thing I wanted to hear I was already
from frustrated and the thought of
staying in that place made my skin
crawl without thinking I snapped well I
don't care what did he wants we're
leaving and we'll come back
tomorrow the moment the words left my
mouth I regretted them the God's
expression darkened and his tone turned
menacing you're not going anywhere he
said if you try you'll regret it we know
where you live will make your life and
your family's life miserable don't test
us I was speechless my frustration
evaporated replaced by fear I couldn't
risk my family's safety I swallowed my
pride and muttered okay okay I'm sorry
we'll stay the guard wasn't done yet he
handed me a phone and said call your
family tell them you won't be coming
home for a couple of days keep it short
he stood directly in front of me as I
dialed his cold unflinching gaze making
it impossible to think straight when my
wife picked up I could barely get the
words out I won't be home for a couple
of days I said trying to sound normal
while the guard loomed over me I kept it
as brief as possible and hung up my
stomach twisting into
knots I couldn't shake the question
burning in my mind why did he want us to
sleep here what was really going on in
this mansion
they led us into a room after taking our
tools away the first thing I noticed
were the cameras everywhere it felt
invasive like they wanted to keep an eye
on every single thing we did even while
we were supposed to be resting they
locked us in and told us to sleep
Furious I sat on the edge of the bed
trying to process everything why cameras
what's the point but there was no use
asking questions this wasn't a place
where you got
answers I I lay down but my mind
wouldn't stop racing I couldn't stop
thinking about what we were covering up
about the bags the names the secrecy
sleep felt impossible Meanwhile my
co-workers exhausted from the cold in
the work had no trouble they were out in
minute I envied their ability to switch
off eventually I must have drifted off
because before I knew it we were being
woken up it hadn't even been a full
night night's rest just 6 hours maybe
less my body achd my eyes burned with
exhaustion I asked if we could sleep a
bit longer but the guard shot that down
immediately no he said flatly you need
to finish the job you're working too
slow I was losing my patience it felt
like they were deliberately testing me
pushing me to see how much I could take
but I bit my tongue and reminded myself
why I needed to stay quiet for my family
were my co-workers arguing wasn't worth
the risk so I got up gathered myself and
got back to work this time something
different happened while we were working
new workers showed up they were moving
quickly and quietly installing things in
the ceilings I couldn't see exactly what
they were doing but I could tell that
they were hiding something I wanted to
ask but a voice in my head told me to
keep my my questions to
myself I started to come up with a plan
to expose what was happening but then
the fear crept in if I tried and failed
it wouldn't just be my life on the line
it would be my families and my
co-workers too the risks outweighed
everything so I made a decision I still
struggle with I stayed
silent finally the job was
done we had laid all the tiles covering
everything as instructed as we were
packing up to leave something chilling
happened guards entered the tunnel
bringing in people with bags over their
heads I froze trying to make sense of
what I was seeing they moved with
Precision almost like they had done this
a 100 times
before before I could process it all one
of the Gods turned to me smiled and gave
me a wink it sent a chill down my spine
I couldn't tell if it was a gesture of
mockery a warning or something else
entirely I didn't stick around find out
we headed out of the tunnel and as we
stepped outside I noticed trucks lined
up ready to go that's when it all
clicked this wasn't just about a
basement or a job this was a system
whatever was happening in that tunnel
was part of something much
bigger a guard stood by our car handing
us our payment my co-workers were
ecstatic counting the money and talking
about how it was worth all the hard work
but for me the cat felt dirty this
wasn't just a job anymore it was
something far
darker someone had to know what was
going on in that Mansion but as I looked
at my crew their joy and relief I
realized one thing if anyone was going
to expose this it wouldn't be through us
