"And yes," she added, "there are serious rats in here. Here's a bottle for you. Don't come down hee without it." She handed Cricket a bottle and they took off.

It was the first time Bethan had been in the underground city, it was like watching a kid in a theme park. Bethan was constantly running ahead and off into side tunnels, her emergency whistle flapping around her neck, spraying bioluminescent pink paint in lines on the walls. Weirdly enough Ash seemed far more relaxed with Bethan running around in a deadly underground world filled with booby-traps, corpses and man eating rats than up top in school or at home. Indigo didn't ask.
Twee-twee-twee, three short blasts on the whistle, Bethan's "hey look at this!" they stepped around the corner and wove their way through a mess of rubble, and then ran smack into a wall, Bethan was no where in sight. Twee-twee-twee, the three blasts came again softer and more muffled. Indigo spotted a small hole in the corner of the concrete blockade, just big enough for an eight year old girl to fit though. Neither Ash nor Indigo could squeeze thought. "HEY! Bethan! wait there okay? we'll come through in a second" a faint warbling whistle like that of a bird came back 'yes'. The two older girls set about smashing at the hole with non-rotten beams of wood found in the pile of rubbish.

Emma picked up a root and started using it to knock rocks out of the way. "Behten, are you still there?" she called

Emma and Cricket had ended up in the area Bethan, Ash, and Indigo were scouting. Good thing Emma knew how to map this thing cause Cricket wouldn't have a clue left to her own mapping devices.
Cricket pulled a small chisel out of her bag and started to hack at the cracks around the hole. What was that law about an objects weakest point? Meh, whatever, at least it would take off a bigger chunk hacking at places that were already weakened.

Emma kept picking and eventually they broke through. They saw Bethen sitting there, staring at them. "Are you ok?"he asked

Cricket still was working on the outside of the hole. It needed to be a bit bigger if they were to squeeze through.
*crack*
A huge chunk of the wall fell out.
"Well, locksmith and creator of entrances!" Cricket exclaimed.

"You're magical," Emma said jokingly then turned to Behten. "What were you doing?"

Bethan made a series of lightning quick motions with her hands.
Cricket looked at Emma and shrugged.
"Sorry Bethan, I can't understand. Ash?" Cricket called.

"she says. So what? Theres a. Wait what? Theres a tunnel. How deep? She says. Really?!" Ash gave up trying to talk and switched to sign language, the others watched impatiently, finally they stopped and Bethan ran down the tunnel flashlight bobbing "she says theres a ladder" said Ash as they ran after her "but it goes down not up and its super deep, deeper than anything we've found so far"

"I'll text Kiki, then we'll follow after you" Cricket replied, then texted Kiki.
Bethan's made a big discovery. We're following. Meet us, or don't. Make sure Luz has that tracking thing on.

OOC: Cricket i just noticed your text underneath your avatar. i luv it! IC: Emma and Cricket followed Ash and Bethen down the ladder. It seemed to Emma like they were decending forever. What felt like a lifetime later- but couldn't have been more than ten minutes- her feet hit hard ground. She stepped off the ladder and pulled out her flashlight. The first thing she saw was the faces of the other girls. They were staring around them, speechless. "What is are y-" she started, then cut off as her flashlight beam cousght the room around her. Contained in the confains of the one chamber they were standing in, was the answer. The answer to every mystery ever recorded. What happened to Jimmy Hoffa? Amelia Earheart? Area 51? Who was Lucy? They were all here. She could hardly believe it.

OOC: Thanks! I like yours too. ^__^
IC: "Jackpot" Cricket muttered as she walked further into the cavern, "Answers to every mystery in history"
She walked towards an unmarked book that sat on a pedestal at the center of the room. Opening the cover, the first page said simply, LOG. The second had an inscription, Property of Sir Charles Embley Eubert. The contents of the third page proved that this book was indeed a Log, documenting all of the objects Sir C E Eubert had obtained.

Emma followed Cricket to the pedestal. On top was a book with some inscriptions. It was appparently about some guy named Eubert. Emma didn't know what it was, but judging from Cricket's face, it was important. "Who was that?" she asked.

"The owner..." Cricket muttered, "I think I've heard his name somewhere before. Like I knew him or something...this all looks so familiar..."
