Jerome: This house is chock full of drama, isn't it? Although, allthepossibilities finds the drama unfolding at the castle much more interesting than what Trudy forced Alfie and moi to do.

Me: Yeah, no one cares, Jerome. We all love Nina.

Alfie: Come on, auth! Can't you just put at least one teensy-weensy little sentence about what's going on back at the house, please?

Me: Well, since you asked so politely... Jerome and Alfie had to scrub the floor until it shined. After an hour-and-a-half, Trudy finally let them go to bed. They watched Star Wars instead, trying to not think of what was going on with Nina. Oh, and you may/may not be wondering about Mick and Mara. Mara was reviewing her biology textbook in her room, and Mick was napping. Oh, and I don't own House of Anubis. To the story!

We're running out of time! We're running out of time! Fabian's brain was about to go into panic mode. Amber was twisting her hair. Nina, where are you? Please send us a sign. As it happened, Fabian and Amber were not the ones who received a sign, but Joy and Patricia.

"Yo dee an nan na naa, yo dee an nan ron nay...Yo dee an..."

"What was that?" Patricia whispered.

"We found them," was Joy's reply. She texted Fabian: Where r u?

He responded: Walking. Passing by kitchen.

Joy sent:Stay there. FOUND THEM. Coming 2 get u.

Fabian replied: k

Joy turned to Patricia. "Let's just figure out which door to go through. Then, I'll go get Fabian and Amber." They crept forward until Patricia and Joy could tell the chanting was coming from behind a wooden door with an Anubis mask on it. "Patricia, are you okay with staying here while I go get them?

"Yeah, it's fine." She walked over to a broom cupboard. "It's not a five-star hotel lobby, but I'll wait in here."

"Okay, see you in a bit."

Patricia held up a hand in reply, and Joy left. She made it to the kitchen with no incident. Fabian immediately stopped pacing and asked,"Is Nina all right? Where is she?"

Joy said,"Hang on, Fabes. We're going to save her right now. Follow me." She texted Patricia they were on their way once they were in the halls.

Patricia texted back: K. U kno, their chant sounds like 'ur doing an error.' Hope that's tru.

Joy thought to herself, I wish that's true, too. They met no one or no thing on their way back to the wooden door. Joy whispered into the broom closet,"Patricia, are you there?" The door opened in reply.

"'Kay, people. It's quiet time. We'll scope them out, then form a plan. Rock 'n' roll."

They silently opened the door and all of them stepped back in shock of what they saw. Well, Amber wanted to do more. She wanted to slam the door shut, cover her ears and close her eyes, and shout,"LIES! Get this nightmare out of my head!" Of course, Amber knew better than to scream and kept her thoughts to herself.

Joy was thinking, Dad's a part of this? ! Oh, Nina!

Fabian let himself be shocked for a split second, then immediately tried to come up with a solution to this mess of a problem.
