Disclaimer Wishful thinking says I do but the real world says I don't…

A/N Here is the last installment to my story, I hope you like it. On with the story!

Riley Poole was famished.

"Riley, I've already given you all my mints," Ben said, still touching various parts of the walls. "So would you please stop groaning."

"Did it ever occur to you guys that since I was stuck in this place for hours that I might be hungry?" Riley pointed out.

They had been stuck in the ceiling for what seemed like an hour now. Ben was getting tense, Abi was getting tired, and Riley was still hungry.

"We're all gonna die," Riley said dully, drawing pictures in the dust from where he was sitting.

"Okay, shut-up," Ben said, starting to pace the room. He needed quiet when he was thinking. Abi had learned that the annoying way. Riley knew it bugged Ben when he didn't have silence, but he was still disappointed about the food thing. Hello, they were in the kitchen!

"I'm hungry," Riley said, eyes closed.

"Oh really, I didn't know that," Abi replied sarcastically, living with Ben mockery was bound to rub off on her.

Ben was stomping around the room, Riley couldn't figure out why, they were on the third floor of the house, the entire floor was hollow. He didn't bother asking though; he was used to being uncertain about things. Ben carried on with his trudging while Riley fell asleep.

"Riiiley," somebody was calling his name but the softness of bed was more inviting. He had his eyes closed but he wasn't sleeping. The young man was difficultly trying to remember the yesterday's events… Wait, he was stuck in that passage! Then why was he in bed?

Riley reluctantly opened his eyes. Over his head, Ben and Abi stood talking silently to themselves. He closed them again and listened in.

"Do you think he's alright?" the familiar, accented voice of Abi asked.

"Sure," Ben replied confidently. "Riley's been hurt worse. Like this one time when he was sleep walking. He fell down a whole flight of stairs! He was in the hospital for two weeks but in the end, he was fine."

Why were they wondering if he was okay? How did he get where he was? All these questions burned through Riley's brain making him groan aloud in frustration.

"See, he's waking up already." Riley opened his eyes once more to the irritatingly bright light. He moved his head to look at the two but that sent throbbing pain through his skull.

"Ahh," Riley hissed, what the heck happened to him! "What the heck happened to me!" he asked rapidly trying to stop the aching.

"Well, we'll tell you," Abi said in a concerned tone. "But you have to promise not to move through the whole story, okay?"

"Moving is the farthest thing from my mind," Riley replied a bit more clearly now that the pain was subsiding.

"Okay, where to start?" Ben said, Riley heard him sit down and fidget a little. "Well, you fell asleep during the time I was stomping around…"

"Aww, poor Riley he fell asleep," Abi said, frowning at the dusty young man. "We should get out of here soon, Ben. It's not good for a person like Riley to stay in a filthy place this long."

"Abi, I know that," Ben said, continuing his stomping. "I just need to find a place-" He was starting to stamp near Riley when he plodded on an especially hollow part causing the ground Riley was sleeping on to fall through.

"Oh my god!" Abi cried. The couple ran to the dark hole. She turned on her key chain flashlight and searched below. The lifeless body of Riley lay on a large piece of wood along with other rubble and dust.

"Here," she handed Ben her flashlight. "Help me down there; I need to check on Riley,"

Ben lowered his wife down the shadowy hole then he jumped down it himself. Abi checked Riley's pulse and checked some of his legs and arms.

"His legs and arms seem to be okay," she said, placing his arm back on the floor. "I think he has a concussion, Ben. We need to leave here now and get Riley to a bed."

"I know, Abi, but this place doesn't have-" Ben stopped in mid-sentence once again. He spotted a handle at the far back wall. He walked over to it leaving Abi to stare at him in wonderment. He pulled the handle sideways revealing a room filled with hundreds and hundreds of books.

"Wow," Abi breathed. Ben began walking toward the large collection when he also fell through the floor.

Abi screamed and ran over to the bright hole.

"It's okay, I'm alright," Ben said. Abi looked through the hole and found her husband luckily sitting on their bed.

"I'm going to get a ladder and bring you and Riley down," Ben said, getting up from the bed. Abi smiled in sheer relief.

"-Then I got the ladder and carried you in here," Ben said motioning around to Riley's room. He opened his eyes to see Ben smirking.

"What?" the young man asked.

"I think I speak for Abi when I say this," Ben said. "Don't go exploring without me or Abi again, ever."

"Dually noted," Riley said. He smiled and closed his eyes, Riley was so glad he had friends like his. Oh, he had almost forgotten!

"Guys, can you get me a pizza or something?"

A/N Well, that's the end of the story. It was a little rush, rush, I know. I hoped you

liked it though, because I had enjoyed writing it. Don't ask for another chapter because then it would be about Riley playing paddleball or something and that would be boring. Reviews are still very much appreciated, thanks!

Have a nice day,
