House of Bets:
Nina, Fabian and Amber were still in the cellar and were stopped by Victor Jr.
"Stay here! Who are all there?" Asked Victor jr.
Fabian moved closer to Victor Jr. and waved his hand in front of Victor Jr's face, but he didn't notice.
"Amber Millington?" Asked Victor jr.
"Hi Victor, what a coincidence that you are here too," said Amber.
Nina and Fabian quickly left the cellar.
"Shut up! What have you done with Corbierre?" Asked Victor jr.
"You don't think I will touch that dirty bird, it gives me such dirty nails," said Amber.
"Dirty bird?" Asked Victor jr.
"Excuse me Corbierre," said Amber.
"And how did Corbierre get there?" Asked Victor jr.
"I heard someone scream, so I went to see if everything was alright," said Amber.
"Yeah right," said Victor jr. not believing a word Amber said.
"Really. Is there anything I can do for you?" Asked Amber.
"Get out of my eyes," said Victor jr.
"Okey, dokey," said Amber.
Amber left the cellar. And when Amber was gone, Victor Sr. appeared.
"Weakling, how can you go into the tunnels without an amulet," said Victor sr.
"I had to save Corbierre," said Victor jr.
Shut up! You put the name Rodenmaar to shame! Just wait till I regain my strength, then we'll see we're the boss here," said Victor sr.
Victor Sr. felt around his neck and noticed that he no longer had the amulet on.
"The amulet," said Victor sr.
"The amulet? What's with the amulet?" Asked Victor jr.
"I lost it," said Victor sr.
"I'll make sure it's okay, father. I'll make sure I prove that I'm a real Rodemaar," said Victor jr.
Without saying anything Victor sr. disappeared again
A few hours later. All residents were back home. Otis walked to his room and Joy came up to him.
"Otis wait up," said Joy.
Otis stopped walking and turned to Joy.
"Sorry," said Joy.
"For what exactly?" Asked Otis.
"For everything. That I didn't want to listen to you and that I acted like a selfish chicken. And I'm really terribly sorry," said Joy.
"It's okay," said Otis.
"I now know why you couldn't say anything to me. And I just let you down, just when you needed me. And I promise this never happens again, together we'll get out of this," said Joy.
"What do you mean exactly?" Asked Otis.
"Jeremiah," said Joy.
"Jeremiah? How do you know that? Asked Otis.
"I saw you talking and then I followed him," said Joy.
"How can you be so stupid? That man is a deranged maniac," said Otis.
"Nothing happened," said Joy.
"Did he hurt you?" Asked Otis.
Joy shook her head and Otis sighed of relief.
"We'll solve this together," said Joy.
"Do you have a 10,000 pound lying around?" Asked Otis.
"You're not going to pay that, are you?" Asked Joy.
"I've to. Or do you have a better idea?" Asked Otis.
"We're going to the police," said Joy.
"That man is capable of anything, no police force can stop him," said Otis.
"We'll come up with something," said Joy.
"Joy, it's my problem and not yours," said Otis.
"I just want to help you. Otis together we stand strong," said Joy.
"We? If I remember correctly there is no we," said Otis.
"But...," said Joy.
"I don't think it wants to get through to you but it's over between us," said Otis.
"You're only saying this because you're afraid he could hurt me," said Joy.
"I say this because I mean it. I'm just tired of you," said Otis.
"You can't mean that?" Asked Joy.
"I mean it. And please leave me alone now," said Otis.
Otis walked into his room and closed the door.
In the meantime. Victor Jr. sat in the living room and Trudy put the bandage back on his head.
"Victor what have you done now? The bandage had just come off," said Trudy.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, hurry up," said Victor jr.
"Don't tell me to hurry. You only do dangerous things and Trudy can take care of everything again," said Trudy.
"I prefer to do it myself, but that's just not possible," said Victor jr.
"And does this mean that you will not eat anything for a few days?" Asked Trudy.
"Woman mind your own business," said Victor jr.
Trudy continued putting the bandage on Victor jr's head. Meanwhile, Aaron walked into the kitchen and saw KT cooking.
"What are you making? Asked Aaron.
"This is a chicken recipe from my godfather, said KT.
"It smells amazing, said Aaron.
"Thank you," said KT.
"And why are you cooking today?" Asked Aaron.
"I wanted to help Trudy and she is now busy taking care of Victor again," said KT.
"Can I help you?" Asked Aaron.
"Could you maybe set the table?" Asked KT.
"Okay, I'll do that for you," said Aaron.
While Aaron was setting the table, Joy was in her room and broke her piggy bank and took the money. Joy looked disappointed at the money.
"How do I get 10,000 pound?" Asked Joy.
Joy grabbed a notebook and started writting ideas to get the money.
Later that evening. The club was in Nina and Amber's room and had a club meeting.
You know without me you two would have been locked up in the cellar," said Amber.
"Amber you're a hero," said Fabian
"Yes, I'm a hero," said Amber.
"And we've the amulet back," said Fabian.
"But we must watch out for Victor, he must never get this amulet again," said Nina.
Nina gave Amber her amulet back.
"Put it on and never take it off," said Nina.
"One thing I don't understand," said Fabian.
"What?" Asked Patricia.
"Victor, he didn't had the amulet on when the light blinded him," said Fabian.
"No, the amulet was lying in the beginning of the tunnels," said Nina.
"So that means he's been there," said Fabian.
"Yes, we know that now," said Aaron.
"But why did he leave the amulet there?" Asked Fabian.
"No idea," said Alfie.
"This means that Victor is much closer than we think," said Fabian.
"Then we must hurry, we've no time to lose," said Aaron.
"When are we going to train?" Asked Alfie.
"Tomorrow, I've found a location, so bring sport wear to school," said Nina.
"I continue to decipher the hieroglyphics," said Fabian.
Fabian got up and walked to the door.
"Fabian where is the chest now?" Asked Nina.
"Safe in my locker at school," said Fabian.
Fabian left the room and went to his own room.
A few hours later. Joy was in her bed unable to sleep, all she could think about was Otis and the money he had to pay. Joy thought back to the time she saw Patricia and the club looking at the dominoes and how expensive they were. Joy got an idea, she got up and grabbed her laptop and looked for the dominoes. Joy made a new advertisement for the stones and changed the price from 1000 pound to 10000 pound.
"Don't worry Otis, I'll make sure nothing happens to you," said Joy.
Joy closed her laptop and went back to sleep.
The next day. The Anubis residents were at school and the club was sitting in the drama room.
"I've been working all night on the circles with the symbols," said Fabian.
"And?" Asked Patricia.
"It's about steps and those symbols represent weights," said Fabian.
"But do you know exactly what it means?" Asked Nina.
"I'll try to explain. First we need 6 people of 100 kilos each," said Fabian.
"100 kilos? I don't even weigh half of that," said Amber.
"Yeah right," said Alfie, sarcastically.
"I want to find that mask, but I'm not gonna gain 50 kilo for this," said Amber.
"You mean 40," said Alfie.
"Guys take it easy, we don't need to gain weight at all, because none of us weigh 100 kilos," said Fabian.
"So we figure out a way to make ourselves heavier?" Asked Aaron.
"That's Alfie's job," said Fabian.
"Why is that my job?" Asked Alfie.
"You're the material man, aren't you?" Asked Fabian.
"Oh yeah. Super Alfie will come up with something," said Alfie.
"I don't get it. Why do we all have to weigh 100 kilos?" Asked Nina.
"Well look, we're supposed to always exert a certain weight on the stone and if we do this on all 24 stones, then the gate will open," said Fabian.
The club looked at Fabian with confused faces.
"You guys don't understand anything?" Asked Fabian.
"No, not really," said Amber.
"I'll come up with something to explain it better," said Fabian.
A few moments later. Eddie stood by the lockers with Jerome and Mara. Patricia walked over to Eddie.
"And are you scared yet?" Asked Patricia.
"Scared? I'm not scared," said Eddie.
"But you're crazy," said Patricia.
"Why is he crazy?" Asked Mara.
"He challenged Cameron Nyland to an egg eating completion," said Patricia.
"You challenge someone who has the record for eating 26 eggs in one minute to an egg competition?" Asked Mara.
"When is the game?" Asked Jerome.
"Tomorrow," said Patricia.
"Tomorrow is Saturday," said Mara.
"Oh then I'll have to put it off, because tomorrow school is closed," said Eddie.
"No, I've discussed with Mr. Sweet and this is good publicity for the school," said Patricia.
"Really?" Asked Eddie.
"Yes, of course official people from the Guinness World Records come to make everything official," said Patricia.
"Oh this going to be great," said Jerome.
"Oh yeah?" Asked Eddie.
"Either we see Eddie break a record tomorrow or we see total humiliation," said Jerome.
"I think the last one," said Patricia.
"And you call yourself my girlfriend, you don't even believe in your own boyfriend," said Eddie.
"Eddie you can't beat him, he's a world champion," said Patricia.
"So I won't eat tonight, bet I can eat 30 at least," said Eddie.
"He trains every day and you think you can beat him by not eating for one night? you're in so much trouble," said Patricia.
"Even if I do it with my hands behind my back, I'll eat more than 26," said Eddie.
"And I don't think you will," said Patricia.
"Wanna make a bet?" Asked Eddie.
"Okay, what are we betting on?" Asked Patricia.
"If I win, you'll have to cook for the whole house for a week," said Eddie.
"And if you lose you have to cook an evening for everyone," said Patricia.
"No problem," said Eddie.
"But dressed as Trudy," said Patricia.
"Okay deal," said Eddie.
"Deal," said Patricia.
Patricia and Eddie shook hands.
In the meantime. Joy walked down the hall and saw Otis selling his camera to a student. Joy walked over to Otis.
"What are you doing?" Asked Joy.
"You can see that," said Otis.
"Why are you selling your camera?" Asked Joy.
"Because my cameras bring in the most money," said Otis.
"You also sold your photo camera?" Asked Joy.
"Yes," said Otis.
"But those things are your life," said Joy.
"If I don't have the money, then I don't have a life. So I've to do this," said Otis.
"Then let me help you. I still have some money," said Joy.
"Joy it's over between us," said Otis.
"I just want to help you," said Joy.
"And I don't need any help," said Otis.
Otis walked away, leaving Joy alone in the hallway.
Back at the house. Victor Jr was in the cellar.
"Victor," said Victor sr.
"Father have you found the amulet?" Asked Victor jr.
"No, you would take care of that," said Victor sr.
"I'm sorry, I'm doing my best," said Victor jr.
"You don't do that! It's that I can't get out of the mirror for long, because otherwise," said Victor sr.
"It's going to be okay father," said Victor jr.
"First take that bandage off your eyes," said Victor sr.
"That's not possible yet," said Victor jr.
"We need that amulet. We need to find the Mask of Anubis. We must prepare ourselves physically and mentally," said Victor sr.
"But what does that mean?" Asked Victor jr.
"That means you would have to work really hard for the first time in your life," said Victor sr.
Victor Sr disappeared again.
At the same time somewhere in a house that was hidden somewhere in the woods. The man in the green raincoat sat behind the laptop and looked at the advertisement Joy placed.
"The target is in," said the man in the raincoat,
"Great then we can move on to phase two," said an other man, but he sounded more sickly
"I will make contact with her," said the man in the raincoat.
Who are these men? And what do they want from Joy? And what are they up to with the domino stones?
