"Well, so am I," Carter stated, looking back at Dave who intently searched for spiders.

Deb stopped in the doorway."there's one bed"

"I guess we'll have to be *grown ups* about this then..." he trailed off, scratching the top of his head.

"Right.." Deb took a deep breath,"Grownups"
***************************
"RATS!!"

Abby pulled her pillow up over her head."He's afarid of rats"

Mark winced sitting on the edge of the bed listening to Dave race up the stairs, just staring at Elizabeth

"HELLPPP!!" Dave cried

Mark looked down at his watch."7 and someone has already cried help.."

"God Mark, I hope Ella's alright. Do you think we should call?" Elizabeth questioned as she brushed cobwebs from her face.

"One sec" he raised a hand,"I've got to take care of my other kids" Mark reached into his bag and tossed her the cell phone

"I'm STUCK!" Dave cried

Abby stopped,"Luka?"

"Stuck where?" Luka asked. He couldn't even see Dave.

"Down here" he yelled

Deb jumped up and ran to the door."Where?'

"DOWN HERE!"

"Where's 'down here'?" Carter called out, trying to follow his voice.

"Here!"

Mark started down the staircase."Ahhh" he fell back

Deb ran to see what Mark saw."Shit...the staircase is gone"

"not gone.." Mark looked up at the panicked faces,:There's just a hole.."

Luka pulled Abby back from the edge a little and stood slightly in front of her. "Is there another way up?"

"How about down?" Deb asked

Mark shrugged."One thing at a time.Dave.."

"Yeah?"

Mark chuckled,"I think I found your room for the night"

"That sooo o o o o o o o isn't funny!" Dave cried

"What about tying some sheets together? Make a rope or something..." Carter suggested, looking around.

"I love you man!" Dave cried,"Always have.."

"I say we leave him down there" Abby muttered,turning around to go back to her room

"Only downfall to that is us being stuck up here," Elizabeth pointed out. "No Rachel, the breastmilk has to be heated on low for 2 minutes," she spoke into the cell phone.

"Luka.." Mark called,"Can you give me a hand?? Abby?"

Deb leaned against the staircase,smirking

Luka nodded, walking closer to him, and waiting to hear Mark's plan.

"You too ,Jing Mei" Mark called over his shoulders."Carter,get a flashlight,Abby..Jing Mei,let's try the sheets tied together thing"
