Luckily it missed them and bounced off a wall instead. Vera tried to make her way across to the door to go after Jerome and the others but because of all the wrong notes Patricia played she found it hard.
"Quick down here" Nina yelled.
As everyone made their way up the passage way at the top they saw what looked like a underground water slide
"What are we waiting for, Vera's still after us" Alfie said as he made his way to the slide "This is going to be fun."
"Okay Nina, Amber, Patricia, Mara you go next" Fabian said.
Nina, Amber, and Patricia all made their way down the slide but Mara was refused to go.
"I'll go last" Mara suggested and nobody argued as they all wanted to get away from Vera.
Jerome and Mara were the last ones to go down the slide.
"Mara it's your turn" Jerome said to Mara with a sappy look on his face.
"I can't Jerome, I can't swim, I don't like water" Mara squeaked.
"Mara It's okay. You'll be fine I won't let you get hurt." Jerome said as he put Mara on his lap and they slid down the water slide together.
"Is everyone ok?" Nina asked as they all landed in a pool of freezing cold water.
"Where's Jerome and Mara?" Alfie asked looking around for his best friend.
As soon as Alfie said that Jerome and Mara fell into the icy pool of water. Mara was struggling to keep her head above water the rest of the group saw this and rushed to help.
Mara began to sink but Jerome grab her waist with his good arm and set off for the surface. As they emerged Nina and Amber helped Mara to the shallow end of the lagoon and Alfie helped Jerome.
"Mara are you alright" Patricia asked concern for her friend.
Mara was speechless as she was looking off to the distance. Everyone turn around to see a massive golden pyramid.
"Wow we found the treasure" Eddie shouted while he ran inside "Come on guys what are you waiting for."
"all right let's go guys" Amber said.
Everyone exited the water soaked and darted to the pyramid Jerome slowed down to walk with Mara.
"Hey are you sure you're ok?" He asked genuinely concern.
"Of course" she answered pulling him into a hug "Thank you if it wasn't for you I would have drowned"
"Hey I told you I wouldn't let you get hurt and I'm a man of my word" Jerome said with a smirk.
Mara smiled back and they both continued to walk towards the pyramid.
"Wow look at this" Jerome said as he and Mara walked into the tomb.
"Look at all the gold and jewels" Amber said excitedly.
"I can't believe we made it, Does anyone see the shabti?" Fabian asked gazing around the tomb.
"There" Patricia shouted pointing to the small statue on the podium.
They all ran up to it and just stared at it confused.
"It's smaller then I imagined" Eddie said picking it up.
"Eddie don't touch it, It could be booby trapped" Patricia shouted at her boyfriend.
Eddie froze he had forgotten all about the booby traps.
"nothing happen we're fine" Eddie said happily.
"You won't be fine after this" Vera said pointing the gun in their faces.
