"I don't know that I remember anything specific...I just...feel like I've seen this book before and...what the heck is that thing?"
Cricket pointed at a huge arch-like structure made of what looked like plastic. It was standing in a nearby corner. Some kid had drawn all over it and the top of the arc was sagging inwards.

"Hmmm," Emma murmered. "What's that have to do with any sort of history mystery?"

Ash flipped through the book slowly, completely engrossed in the words and illustrations. She held up her hand to Bethan's frantic signing, "just a minute" she murmured not looking up. Bethan hissed angrily and stomped off into the shadows.
"okay sorry, what?" asked Ash finally looking up from the book "Bethan, what is it?" was the little girl hiding somewhere? "Bethan don't pout. Bethan? where are you? Bethan? Bethan! BETHAN!!"

"Oh for christ sake..." Cricket grumbled, "Bethan!! BETHAN WHERE ARE YOU!!?"
A muffled crash came from the back of the room. The demented modern artwork that was the arc came falling down.

Emma ran to the arch. She digged through the wreckage. The blocks were pretty heavy. Was Bethen ok? "Bethen?!" she called, "Behten!? Bethen?!"

The little girl appered from the back of the pile signing frantically. Emma and Cricket shook their heads.
Bethan gave an exasperated shrug. She changed tactics and started to gesture for them to move in her direction.
"Over this mess?" Cricket muttered, but she started to work her way forwards.

Emma scrambled over the blocks, knocking them to the ide as best she could. When she got to the other side, Bethan disapeared into another room.

They scrambled over the mess to Bethan, who was at this moment leading them through a series of corridors like she owned the place. Weird, considering the only person having DeJavu (spelling??) was Cricket.

"Ok, Bethna," said Emma. "Can you slow down a bit?" She tried to keep up but the others left her in the dust. She kept going until she came to a break in the tunnel. Which way? Which way?

A hand reached out of the darkness to Emma's right and grabbed her arm.
Emma screamed.
Bethan popped out of the shadows with a grin.

"Not funny,"Emma muttered. But she couldn't very well yell at a little girl, could she? "Ok, what did you want to show us?"

Bethan pulled Emma down the hallway motioning for the others to follow.
They continued down the corridor until they reached what was quite possible the largest door in the world. Bethan tried to pull it open but it wouldn't budge, she motioned to the lock.
"Step aside!" Cricket muttered. After a quick look at it she grabbed a chunk of rock from the floor and bashed the lock with it. The door creaked open.
"How the hell did you do that!"
"It was rusty, the rock just gave it the extra leverage it needed to fall appart" Cricket shrugged.

"That is some serious lockpicking skill," Emma commented sarcastically, rolling her eyes. But she walked through the door.

Cricket smirked, "I know right?"
She walked through the door way and there was.............
"The prop room to the NCT??? What the hell is it doing this far under ground" Ash asked.
Bethan makes a series of hand motions.
"Oh...yah that would do it"
"What?" Cricket enquired.
"Oh, we've been walking on an incline"
"No wonder my legs hurt" Cricket moaned.
"Hey!!" A voice called from the beyond, "Who's down there!!"

"That must be a guard or something," Emma whispered. "Let's scat."
