The taxi pulled up to the curb near the Oute Kert. Sam and Jack stepped out of the car to Daniel, who was already waiting for them. "Jack?" Daniel asked, perplexed.
"Daniel?" Jack answered in a mock annoying tone.
"What are you doing here?" Daniel asked.
"Thought I could help." Jack answered.
Daniel looked at Jack; a little frustrated. "I mean, what are you doing in The Netherlands, Jack."
"Well you know me and old churches. I just couldn't let you and Sam have all the fun." Daniel raised an eyebrow at the statement. "Sam wanted some Jell-o."
"You couldn't just mail it?" Daniel asked, as Sam gave off a giggle. Jack glared at Sam for a moment before turning his attention back to Daniel.
"There were technical difficulties." Jack said, still looking a little flustered about the experience.
Sam, who saw that Daniel was about to start another round of questions, decided to save Jack from any further embarrassment. "Daniel, where do you think the entrance to this vault is exactly?"
"Ah see, I am not too sure about that." Daniel said, as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Daniel, do you have any idea at all where it is?" Sam asked, patiently.
"I think it is in an anonymous grave, as I told you yesterday." Daniel said, as he turned toward Sam.
"Oh well that should not be to hard." Sam stated but looking at Daniel's face she could tell he was withholding some information.
"Daniel spit it out." Jack jumped in.
"Ah, there are about 10,000 graves on the floor of the church." Daniel said.
"10,000!" Jack stated, looking at Daniel in shock. "Well good thing it's only a few graves to look at." Jack said, as he put the word few in air quote marks.
"Do you have an idea of where to start looking?" Sam asked Daniel. Daniel pulled out a map of the church he printed off, from the Internet.
"I have a feeling is it somewhere along this area." Daniel said, as pointed to an area off to the left of the church's main entrance. "I also think the Anonymous will look different from the other ones. Possibly only marked with just an 'A' or Anonymous, with no line within the 'A'."
"Ah well that narrows it down." Jack stated sarcastically.
"The idea was to just start looking Jack, not to necessarily find it." Sam said, as Jack rolled his eyes.
"Well let's head out." Jack stated, and the three of them headed into the church, paying the man at the entrance, grabbing the "points of interest brochure" and walked into the main hall.
Daniel and Sam were talking amongst themselves as Jack hung back a little as they went off to the left as they entered. As they walked round Daniel and Sam were looking around and pointing out places they thought it could be while Jack was in his own thoughts. Suddenly, Sam and Daniel heard a noise and they turned in unison to see Jack face down on the floor, after apparently tripping over something.
"Meneer, gaat alles goed?" One of the ladies that obviously worked there called to him and was immediately by his side.
Jack grumbled for a bit and then looked up at Daniel to get a translation as he and Sam had just reached his side just after the lady had.
"Uh, she wanted to know if you were all right."
"Yeah." Jack said, as he started to stand up brushing himself off as he went.
"Veel mensen struikelen hier." The lady spoke toward Daniel.
"Echt waar?" Daniel answered back to her.
"Daniel?" Jack asked, irritated.
"She said that they have had many people trip at that spot." Daniel replied.
"Well tell her they need to fix the problem that is there." Jack stated.
Daniel relayed Jack's statement to her and she quickly replied. "We hebben meerdere mensen dit laten controleren maar niemand vond ooit iets."
The lady replied as Daniel nodded his head. Jack waited a moment.
"You gonna clue us in again." Jack stated again towards Daniel.
"Oh yeah right," Daniel paused, "She said that they have had numerous people come and look at the area and they have all found nothing to cause the falls."
"Uh well there is obviously something there Daniel." Jack started as he walked back to the spot where he fell. "I did not trip over noth..." When he looked down at the area in which he had tripped over he stopped short mesmerized by something on the ground. He crouched down to get a closer look. "Sam, come over here." Jack said, while waving her over to him. Sam looked at Jack perplexed for a moment but did what he asked.
When Sam reached Jack's side she crouched down next to him as he pointed down to what caught his attention. There, on the corner of an Anonymous grave was an upside down V; big enough for someone to spot while kneeling but not big enough to easily see while walking. That was not what had Jack mesmerized however, there seemed to be text just appearing out of nowhere, on the grave.
"Wow." Sam said in amazement.
"Yeah." Jack said, as he pulled his hand through his hair. "What do you think it says?"
"I don't know." While this was happening Daniel had finished talking with the worker and was now standing behind both Sam and Jack.
"What is so interesting?" Daniel asked.
Sam and Jack both looked over their shoulders at Daniel.
"This." Sam said, as she pointed to the ever-expanding text on the grave. "What does it say?" Daniel looked at the grave then looked at them both again.
"It says Anoniem, umm, anonymous." Daniel said, while trying to figure out why they were so attracted to this grave.
"You don't see it?" Sam asked, as she looked back over at the grave along with Jack.
"See what?" Daniel asked, as he started to squint at the grave to see if he could see anything else. "All I can see is anoniem."
At that moment, Sam reached out a tentative hand to touch the writings. Jack saw her and tried to grab her hand before she touched it. He was too late, all of a sudden there was a blinding light, and Jack and Sam were gone.
Daniel blinked his eyes for a moment and looked in front of him. "Jack! Sam!" He continued to look around him before frantically going and looking for the lady from the church.

"What are you doing here?" A strange but authoritative voice asked.
