Jack was sleeping in his bed when he heard his doorbell ring, about five times over. He slowly walked up to the door, groaning as he was welcomed by his friends.

"Schools cancelled. They got worried about the nearly ten disappearances this week, called it quits for at least seven days." Lauren said, all of them waking into the house. That included Hayden, Lauren, Avery, Hannah and Drista.

"Where's Charlotte?" Hannah asked, completely forgetting about the missing homeless girl they found in the woods just below there feet.

"I don't know. Probably asleep. I'm gonna go check on Lani." As he spoke, he began heading into the basement, where to his surprise Lani wasn't on the couch. Instead she was crouched over a secret trapdoor under the carpet, staring into something below.

"How did you-" he couldn't even finish his sentence, stunned by the immense amount of things happening in one space.

"Hey Jack, I was wandering if I could take a bath-" Drista froze when she sat Lani looming over the trapdoor that just seemed to appear. "Guys... there's something you need to see! Asap!" Soon the whole gang was there, standing in shock.

"Did you know about this?" Hannah spoke, investigating the scene of the discovery.

"Never I-" Jack was at a loss of words. He looked over it.

"Someone's jumping in. I'll do it." Hannah volunteered, taking a breathe and pushing past Jacks as he screamed

"No Hannah please No!" But it was too late. She landed on her side in the hallways of the large underground lab. "What-"

"Hannah are you okay?" Asked Avery, peering over the side with Jack. "Hold on I'm coming too."

"I'll also join you." Hayden spoke against Jacks will. He stood in fear as they jumped down into the empty laboratory.

"Ugh- you guys are already down there, might as well go." They all hopped in, looking around the area. It seemed to be pretty empty as the rest of the gang joined in.

"Here, hold my hand Lani." Jack offered, Lani adjusting your the new surrounding. She kinda slipped off a bit, only leaving her two fingers. "Were not in my house anymore."
