House of Chimneys:

Victor Sr. was in the secret room and wanted to enter the tunnels but he was blinded by the bright light.

"How is this possible? If the last thing I do, I'll keep walking," said Victor sr.

Victor Sr. tried to walk to the entrance of the tunnel, but the light was too strong. Victor Sr. took a few steps back and the light disappeared again.

"I've to figure out a way to get in. But first I must get my strength back," said Victor sr.

Victor Sr. left the secret room and went to the mirror. Victor Sr. and Victor Jr. traded places again.

In the meantime at school. Jerome, Otis, and Alfie were standing by their lockers, working on an idea to find a guy for Trudy.

"Do any of you have any nice suggestions for Trudy? I don't feel like arguing with Mara," said Jerome.

"My idea box is completely empty," said Alfie.

"Right now the romance in my life isn't quite right and I need to be somewhere else soon," said Otis.

"Where do you need to go?" Asked Jerome.

"School newspaper meeting," said Otis.

"Isn't the meeting tomorrow?" Asked Jerome.

"It moved to today," said Otis.

"I also have to be somewhere else soon," said Alfie.

"Let me guess you're going to see Amber?" Guessed Jerome.

"Yes," said Alfie.

"Alfie give it up mate, you'll never get to be with her," said Jerome.

"It's something completely different from what you think," said Alfie.

"Guys let's put this discussion behind us and come up with something to find a guy for Trudy," said Otis.

"Where do we start is the real question," said Jerome.

"I don't know much, maybe on the bulletin board: Looking for a nice man for an independent woman who likes to cook," said Alfie.

"Sure that's brilliant," said Jerome.

"Oh yeah?" Asked Otis and Alfie in disbelief.

"We place an ad on a dating site," said Jerome.

"Not a bad idea in itself," said Otis.

"And that idea came from Super Alfie," said Alfie.

"Thanks Super Alfie then I can go now," said Otis.

"Then Super Alfie is on his way too," said Alfie.

Otis went to the computer lab and Alfie went looking for the club.

A few minutes later in the computer lab, the school paper staff held a meeting, but no one said anything and there was an awkward silence and tension.

"Okay let's discuss what's going to be in the paper. We've Dear Delilah, of course. I'm still working on my piece and we've still got the Miss England piece," said Mara.

"I don't know if that will work, the interview is only half done," said Eddie.

"Well then we just ask if her boyfriend wants to arrange an interview, he manages that in no time," said Joy.

"Can we just stop talking about it? Nothing happened," said Otis.

"Yeah right. But okay I'll stop talking about it," said Joy.

"Please. And if you'd just listen to me for a second," said Otis.

"I told you I'd stop talking about it!" Yelled Joy.

"Joy take it easy," said Mara.

"I don't calm down at all, not while he's sitting here," said Joy.

"What do you want from me?" Asked Otis.

"I think it's better that Otis quit the newspaper and today," said Joy.

"Whoa, whoa, you ain't gonna decide that," said Eddie.

"Oh no?" asked Joy.

"No, because you're not here alone," said Eddie.

"Can we all just act normal?" Asked Mara.

"Act normal yourself! If he doesn't go, I'll go myself," said Joy.

Joy packed her things and stormed out of the computer lab. Mara got up and followed her.

"Joy just wait for a second," said Mara.

"Leave me alone Mara," said Joy.

"Why are you acting so fierce?" Asked Mara.

"I'm in a bad mood," said Joy.

"Please come back?" Asked Mara.

"I want to go home," said Joy.

"Is there anything I can do for you?" Asked Mara.

"Mara, all I want is to lie in bed with the covers over my head and listen to loud music," said Joy.

Joy walked out of the school and went home. But what Joy didn't realize was that she was being watched by a man in a dark green raincoat. The man in the raincoat picked up his phone and called someone.

"The target is required. We'll be able to start soon," said the man.

The man in the raincoat hung up and walked away.

In the meantime. Nina and Fabian were on their way to the drama room for yet another club meeting. Nina wasn't really thinking about it and Fabian noticed.

"Nina what is it?" Asked Fabian.

"I don't know if we should do this Fabian," said Nina.

"What?" Asked Fabian.

"Giving the mask to Senkhara," said Nina.

"Nina we've no choice, our lives depend on it," said Fabian.

"But this is not what Sarah wants," said Nina.

"I'm starting to doubt if you really saw Sarah," said Fabian.

"What do you mean?" Asked Nina.

"Maybe it wasn't Sarah you saw, but Senkhara pretending to be Sarah," said Fabian.

"No, that's not possible," said Nina.

"How can you be so sure?" Asked Fabian.

"My feeling is saying that," said Nina.

"Feelings can be deceiving," said Fabian.

"Sarah and I've a connection I know she it was really her and if it wasn't the real Sarah I would know," said Nina.

"I hope it really is the real Sarah," said Fabian.

"We've to go, the rest is waiting for us," said Nina.

Nina and Fabian went to the drama room where the rest of the club was already waiting.

"And did you solve the riddle?" Asked Amber.

"Almost, I'm still working on it," said Fabian.

The club looked a little disappointed at Fabian.

"But it won't be long," said Fabian.

"Do you really think you can solve the riddle quickly?" Asked Nina.

"Yeah and let's meet tonight," said Fabian.

"In our room as usual?" Suggested Nina.

"Yes," said Fabian.

"We at least don't have to worry about Victor bothering us, he walks around like a mummy with that bandage wrapped around his head," said Aaron.


A few moments later in the house. Victor Jr. sat at his chemistry table and was asleep. Victor Sr. appeared in the mirror.

"Victor!" Shouted Victor sr.

"Father? Did you manage to get into the tunnels?" Asked Victor jr.

"No, that cursed light held me back," said Victor sr.

"And what now father?" Asked Victor jr.

Then Victor Sr. remembered the time Amber and Alfie were in the bathroom and they had the chest with them.

"The chest," said Victor sr.

"What chest are you talking about, father?" Asked Victor jr.

"The chest that those children have," said Victor sr.

"What kind of box is that?" Asked Victor jr.

"That chest is the key. We must have the chest," said Victor sr.

"You just said yourself, those children have it," said Victor jr.

"But not much longer junior," said Victor sr.

Victor Sr. disappeared again and Victor Jr. fell asleep again.


In the meantime at school. Mara walked down the hall and just really paid attention and bumped into KT. The impact caused KT to drop her belongings.

"I'm so sorry KT," said Mara.

"It's okay," said KT.

"Let me help you grab your things of the floor," said Mara.

Mara helped KT gather her things. Mara grabbed some of KT's sketches and looked at them.

"Wow did you make this?" Asked Mara.

"Yes," said KT.

"They are really very good," said Mara.

"You think so?" Asked KT.

"Do you have any more sketches?" Asked Mara.

"Yes, here in my sketchbook," said KT.

"May I see them?" Asked Mara.

"Yeah, sure go ahead," said KT.

KT handed Mara her sketchbook and the two girls sat down. Mara looked at the sketches.

"You've a real talent," said Mara.

"They are not that great," said KT.

"Don't say that, they are fantastic, in fact I find them so fantastic, I'd like to put one in the school paper," said Mara.

"Really?" Asked KT.

"Yeah, but only if it's okay with you," said Mara.

"Of course that would be great," said KT.

Mara flipped through the sketchbook, then came across a sketch of Aaron. Mara looked at KT, who's face was starting to turn red.

"I can explain," said KT, nervously.

"You don't have to explain it," said Mara.

"I only made it because...," said KT, unable to come up with an good excuse.

"Because you fancy him?" Asked Mara.

"Maybe a little," said KT.

"I knew it," said Mara.

"I don't know what to do with it," said KT.

"Maybe make work of him? Aaron is a really nice guy," said Mara.

"That's what Joy said too," said KT.

"Well then," said Mara.

"But what should I do then?" Asked KT.

"Talk to him," suggested Mara.

"I talk to him quite a bit already. He is actually the first to whom I've already told a lot," said KT.

"And?" Asked Mara.

"I feel some sort of trust with him and that's nice," said KT.

"But why don't you say you fancy him?" Asked Mara.

"That's one of the things I can't talk to him about," said KT.

"I guess the problem is you think Aaron doesn't see you that way," said Mara.

"What if he doesn't?" asked KT.

"The way he looks at you, I'm pretty sure that Aaron fancies you," said Mara.

"Do you think so?" Asked KT.

"I'm sure," said Mara.

The bell rang and Mara and KT went to their next class.

A few hours later. Jerome, Otis and Alfie were in the computer lab creating an online dating profile for Trudy.

"This is the site, Golden Years Together," said Jerome.

"Sounds tense," said Alfie.

"Come up with something nice for the profile," said Jerome.

"Cheerful slightly crazy woman, looking for a rich and serious guy. Likes cooking for groups and ghost hunting," said Alfie.

"If we fill that in, we really only get the crazy ones," said Jerome.

"It's the truth," said Alfie.

"Maybe we should adjust it a little bit?" Suggested Otis.

"Energetic, energetic…," said Jerome.

"Full woman in top condition, full of character," said Alfie.

"Look for a man with broad interests and broad shoulders," said Otis.

Jerome typed all of they said in and the three boys couldn't help but laugh.

"What do we do for favorite food?" Asked Jerome.

"Jamaican stew and Icelandic pizza," said Alfie.

"Favorite music?" Asked Jerome.

"Death metal," said Otis.

"And yodel music," said Alfie.

"And what do we fill in for hobbies?" Asked Otis.

"Bungee jumping, ice hockey," said Jerome, as he typed it in.

"Ghost hunting," said Alfie.

Jerome and Otis looked at Alfie with a questioning look.

"There must be some truth in it," said Alfie.

"He has a point," said Otis.

"Ghost hunting," said Jerome, as he typed it in.

"And are we done," said Otis.

"And all we need to do is send it," said Alfie.

Alfie pressed enter and the profile was activated. The three boys left the computer lab laughing. Otis walked over to his locker and for a moment he forgot all his worries. Eddie walked over to Otis.

"Hey where were you?" Asked Eddie.

"I was doing something with Jerome and Alfie," said Otis.

"And with what happened this afternoon during the meeting, does that still bother you?" Asked Eddie.

"I really don't feel like it again. I'll just quit," said Otis.

"And leave me behind? What am I supposed to do without a partner," said Eddie.

"You'll find a new partner," said Otis.

"Listen to me Otis, you know nothing happened and I know, Mara thinks nothing happened either," said Eddie.

"But Joy thinks that something happened," said Otis.

"She's just super jealous and that's good," said Eddie.

"Oh yeah?" Asked Otis.

"Yeah, that just shows how strong her feelings are for you," said Eddie.

"Do you really think so?" Asked Otis.

'Yes, otherwise she wouldn't react like that," said Eddie.

"But it seems more like she hates me now," said Otis.

"The women is a compacted species," said Eddie.

"You can say that again, I've three sisters and I still don't understand women," said Otis.

"I'll see you at home okay," said Eddie.

"Yeah, see you later," said Otis.

Eddie went home. Otis opened his locker to get a notebook. When Otis looked in his locker he saw a note. Otis picked up the note and read it.


6 days left!


Otis started to feel the pressure again. Otis hid the note in his pocket in went home.


Later that day. The Club was in Nina and Amber's room.

"Do you already know what to do with the bottle?" Asked Aaron.

"I think so," said Fabian.

"What do you think we need to do with it?" Asked Nina.

"Grab the chest and I'll show it to you," said Fabian.

Nina took the chest from under her bed, but didn't realize that Victor Sr. was spying on her. Nina set the chest down and took the top off. The club sat down in front of the mini house and Fabian took out the artifact from his pocket.

"What are you going to do Fabian?" Asked Patricia.

"I'm going to empty the bottle into the chimney of the mini house," said Fabian.

"Are you sure you have to do that?" Asked Amber.

"No, but I can't think of anything else what would make sense," said Fabian.

"Do it," said Nina.

Fabian took the cap off the artifact and emptied it into the chimney. Suddenly smoke came out of the chimney and there was the sound of a click.

"I heard a clicking noise," said Alfie.

"Me too," said Fabian.

Fabian carefully lifted the roof and saw something in the house and grabbed it. And Fabian took a knight out of the house.

"That looks like a knight," said Nina.

"It looks like Victor's knight," said Aaron.

What did this mean? Will the club find their next clue in Victor Jr's knight armor?
