Rafael continued to build the secret room and rebuild the submarine while Julieta took care of the kids at home.
Rafael built the secret room inside of the cabin room of a ship.
He built a secret door behind a wall to get inside the secret room where the scuba gear was.
He also set up an anchor hanging above a pool of water to sink down faster under the ship.
The room also had a compressor to refuel the oxygen tanks with.
There was a device called a 'windlass' which was a device to lower and raise the anchor with a switch.
Rafael constructed a passcode on the secret door to get inside the room.
After he finished constructing the secret room, Rafael showed it to Julieta to show her how to get to the submarine.
OVER THE NEXT 5 YEARS, Rafael continued to fix up and rebuild the submarine using parts that he would buy from Black Market vendors in the city.
Every time he would go to the submarine, he would record a video diary of himself talking about everything that he had been doing.
BY THE TIME OF ALEX AND ANA'S 10TH BIRTHDAY, Rafael had made them two locket-compasses with their names engraved on them for their present.
Inside the locket was a picture of Alex, Ana, Rafael, Julieta, Leo and Adriana together when the twins were about 4 years old along with a small mirror.
The locket itself was silver and had a compass on the front with a design of a bird flying, an oak tree, ocean waves and mountains.
The Twins blew out 10 birthday candles on a cake and celebrated their birthday with their parents Rafael and Julieta and their half brother Leo and their Aunt Adriana.
