Saturday 10:30 P.M.

Carlie looked at the window that she had managed to crawl through earlier. They listened for any sound of footsteps but none came. The sound of their breaths was the only thing that could be heard.

Carlie started to panic in the small enclosure. "I... have to get out of here."

Rhydian looked at her and shook his head. "Wait. Please. They may still be out there," he whispered to her and held onto her arm. His eyes were showered in slight fear.

Footsteps hit the pavement and everyone froze. They seemed to be walking away and Carlie took this as an opportunity to jump out.

"Carlie!" Zoey hissed at her and looked out the window. Carlie was knelt on the ground and was peering over a garage can before moving to the front of the building.

Miles continued to sit at the front of the door and paid no attention to what was happening.

The sound of scrapping was heard before the door opened up. Carlie was knelt over and gave them a thumbs up.

"I didn't... see anyone," she said while the group exited the building.

"It's probably best if we see if the others are okay," Penelope-Jane told them.

Carlie waved at her suggestion. "They'll be fine. We are already here so we check the rest of the buildings then go and find them."

The group didn't look so sure but went along with it. They split into groups of two with Miles going with Zoey and Penelope-Jane, Carlie and Rhydian together.

Saturday 10:57 P.M.

Penelope-Jane stood watching the other two trying to break into a building. "If someone had a bobby pin this would be so much easier," she said frustrated.

The door busted open at Rhydian's attempt to open it. He dropped the rusted crowbar that was now bent out of shape. "We can use this to defend ourselves now."

Three rats scurried out the door which caused them to jump. "Let's just go," Penelope-Jane grimaced.

Rhydian flicked on the lights which just dimly glowed.

"There's a lot of props in here... Do you think it's attached to an attraction?" Carlie asked.

Something pounded against a wall and the group stopped. "Hello! Anyone out there?!"

"Is that... Is that Tessa?"

The group looked at one another before quickly jogging to the sound. The sound led to a wooden door that was locked on the outside. Carlie turned the lock and then opened the door.

"What are you doing in there?" Penelope-Jane asked.

Tessa still had a blindfold attached to her head with her hands tied behind her back. "I don't know but I'd really appreciate it if you could help me, Penelope."

Rhydian cut the ties with the deformed crowbar while Penelope-Jane took the blindfold off. Tessa smiled at the others. "Thank goodness you all are here," she said before frowning. "But the murder got to London. Cliff, Ana, and Iris are still in danger though. We have to get to them quickly!" Her eyes growing big with realization. "They're picking us off one by one."

"They?" Rhydian said confused.

"I don't know who it is but they wear a mask or something so we can't see them," she told them as she started to walk away.

"What did they do with London?!" Carlie frowned, not moving. The others stayed out where they were.

Tessa growled, "I don't know. They turned off the lights and the next thing I knew I was waking up in there."

"Fine." Penelope-Jane looked at the others. "We have to look for the others and we have to stick together."

Tessa nodded. "The murder can't take us all if we are all together." Tessa motioned for them to follow. "Best we go. They couldn't have gotten that far."
