The group made their way over to the elevator in order to figure out a way to fix it. Violet looked up at the floor indicator and asked "Is that where the elevator is stuck?"

"Yep, one floor short of the Tip Top Club." Dewey said.

Violet then pulled her ribbon from her dress and tied her hair back as she tried to think up a way to open up the elevator doors. She really had to work her imagination with this one, as she had never tackled anything as big as fixing a 60 year old elevator before. She ran her fingers along the doors for inspiration as to what she could do. "If I could just find a way to open these doors, it would be really helpful." she said.

"Then do it." Dewey insisted.

Just then, two voices could be heard outside the main hotel door. One was one of the mystery men that had been at the hotel earlier that day, the other sounded like a young girl. "Oh God, not again." Klaus said under his breath.

"Quick, everyone hide." Sally said, panicking.

The ghosts vanished away, while Violet, Klaus, and Sunny dove under one of the big sofas in front of the fireplace. Trembling, the Baudelaires clung close to each other, praying they would be as lucky to not get caught as they had been before. Holding their breaths as the doors opened, they say the feet of the man and young girl who had been standing outside the door walk inside.

"Ok, we need to find something for Gilbert London and Carolyn Crosson, then Abigail will be ready." the girl said.

"This feels like grave robbing, Anna." the man said uneasily.

"But we need to do this, Uncle Buzzy." Anna said. "For Abigail and for the ghosts."

The Baudelaires could hear Anna and Buzzy moving around the suitcases, checking the names on each. They were so afraid of being caught; they didn't dare move a muscle. They didn't even move when Anna suddenly exclaimed "Yes, I found Carolyn's!"

She popped the locks open and lifted the lid to find lots of jewelry in there. Anna shifted around through the jewelry and came upon an old locket. "You think we could use this?" she asked Buzzy as she showed him the locket.

Buzzy took it from her and carefully examined it. He popped it open to reveal a picture of a beautiful woman who was obviously Carolyn. "Yeah, I think we could use this." he said, handing the locket back to Anna.

Excited, Anna began shifting around the suitcases again, hoping to find something that belonged to Gilbert. It didn't take her long, however, to realize that Buzzy wasn't looking at the suitcases with her. He was staring at something that was sticking out from underneath one of the sofas.

"What's that?" he asked, pointing at the black lace on the floor.

The children look at each other with fear, realizing he was talking about a part of Violet's dress that was visible. Violet quickly pulled her skirt completely underneath the sofa, but she soon realized what a grave mistake that was. Anna and Buzzy came over to the sofa and Anna shouted "Ok, who's there?"

"Come out and show yourselves." Buzzy demanded, sounding a little ticked off.

Sunny, having bailed her and her siblings out of similar situations in the past, decided to take matters into her own hands once again. She wriggled out of Klaus' arm and quickly crawled out from underneath the sofa. Violet and Klaus gave each other "What does she think she's doing!" looks, believing their baby sister had completely lost it. They listened carefully as Sunny squealed "Gree." which probably meant "Greetings, how are you?"

Anna and Buzzy looked at her in awe and wonder, not believing a baby was hiding in this abandoned hotel. Smiling, Anna went to pick Sunny up and said "Aww little baby, we'll help you."

Unfortunately, Sunny immediately started shrieking and crying as soon as Anna picked her up, since she had no idea who these people were and if they were sent by Count Olaf or not.

Violet and Klaus couldn't stand to hear Sunny so afraid and immediately came out from underneath the sofa, not caring anymore whether or not they got in trouble. Klaus immediately stood up as soon as he was out in the open and exclaimed "Put our sister down!", completely startling Anna and Buzzy.

"Woah, hey. Calm down, I'll give her to you." Anna said uneasily and handed Sunny over to Klaus, who immediately stopped crying as soon as Klaus had her in his arms.

"Now, care to tell me why you three have trespassed on private property?" Buzzy asked the children.

Violet and Klaus really did not want to tell him the reason why they had hidden in this hotel, especially if he was someone sent out to search for them. But they knew they were in trouble either way, so they nervously told him they were innocent children on the run and had to hide until their names could be cleared.

"I hope you understand trespassing on private property like this is a serious offense." Buzzy said.

"But we're orphans; we don't have a real home anyway." Violet exclaimed.

"That doesn't matter; you are still in trouble for trespassing here, including breaking and entering." Buzzy said, annoyed.

"Wait Uncle Buzzy, maybe we better hear them out before we do anything rash." Anna said, touching her uncle's shoulder.

Sighing, Buzzy sat down on the sofa across from the ones the Baudelaires were hiding under next to Anna. "Allright, talk to me. Tell me all about you and why you are here." he said.

After introducing themselves as Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire, the children told them everything that had happened in their sad lives, from the day they heard about the fire at Briny Beach to the reason why they were on the run. "

So you hid in here?" Anna asked when they were done.

"Yup, we've been here for about a day." Klaus said.

"I know this is a silly question, but are there really ghosts here like we've heard?" Buzzy asked them.

Violet's response confirmed the suspicions that he and Anna had had all along about the hotel: "Yes, there are ghosts here."
