Chapter 4
The girls and Maybeck had searched every single millimeter of the first floor.
"Well the only place we haven't checked is the girl's bathroom." Charlene pointed out as they stood in front of the girl's bathroom.
"I am not going in there!" Maybeck said referring to the girl's bathroom.
"Relax! No one's going to see you! What are you chicken? Bawk Bawk!" Charlene said.
"Fine. I'll go." Maybeck said reluctantly as they entered the girl's bathroom.
Amanda was the first to go in; Willa second; Charlene third; Maybeck; last.
The Keepers searched everything in the bathroom.
Just as they were about to give up, Willa lay against the wall. The floor fell down under her. She had found the trap door!
Willa landed on her rear end.
"Oww!" Willa groaned in pain.
All the Keepers jumped down through the hole. Maybeck put the tile that fell down back in place so no one would suspect anything.
Amanda found a torch and the wall. It looked like a dungeon down there. They made their way across the dungeon. They found where the Overtakers hid the key to Finn and Philby's cell. The drawer was locked.
"Aww! Now what will we do!" Maybeck said throwing his arms up in the air.
"I know how to pick locks!" Willa said.
"How?" Amanda said.
"Trust me. You need to know how to pick locks if you live with 3 younger brothers, who if it weren't for my mom, would get coal for Christmas." Willa responded.
Willa picked the lock.
They found a secret passage way. They saw Philby and Finn; Finn laying asleep; Philby reading a book.
"Psst! Guys!" Maybeck whispered just loud enough for Philby to take him eyes of his book.
He woke up Finn. Charlene unlocked then cell and let Finn and Philby out.
"Now to save the hostages!" Charlene said.
