We were at the round table and I was brought back to what happened last year and my childhood.
'It's not a happy happy day.'

"Six people have been found buried alive." Jj told as she clicked a button to show the crime scene photos.

~~ Temperance was back in the front seat of my car looking over stuff and I made my way over the back seat that I woke up on to the one Jack was at.
"God I hate this." I stated.
"I was on my way to karate class, so we have lots of bottled water." Temperance told
"What happened? Where are we?" Jack asked
"Last thing I remember is being at the lab." She told
"I'm really confused, what happened to my legs?" He asked as he looks over at Temperance "Where are we?"
"Underground. Buried. I have a burn." She told as she pulls her hair back revealing 2 red marks.
"Zack was trying to figure out what kind of stun gun..."
"Not a stun gun. Cattle prodder. If it was a stun gun I would have had a better chance at defending myself."
"It has to be 'The Grave Digger'. I think he ran you down with his car, and then pumped you full of drugs to ruin your short term memory - same as Ryan Kent." She told as Jack was getting more worried.
"How long have we been down here?"
"Um." She said before looking at her watch. "It would be - 2 hours - I think?"
"Okay, So this vehicle is 6...60 - 60 cubic feet of air, uh, it's just 20 percent oxygen - three people - my brain is not working.." Jack told
'The sizing is off.'
"The sizing it wrong. It's an eight seater meaning it can offer 1200 litres of space with all the seats in place." I told as I held my head.
'Everything is so loud but I can't have it stop me.'
"The Grave Digger is very consistent. If we started with 12 hours of air, we'll be unconscious in 10. After that if - if no one pays the ransom..." She spoke
"We're dead." He said making her nod. ~~

I was pulled out of my thoughts by Spencer grabbing my hand giving it a light squeeze.
'I'm ok. I'm no longer in the car.... I am safe.'
"Could this be a power move of sorts?" Derek asked.
"Could be fear based. Many people fear being buried alive and will panic if they wake up buried or watch as they are buried." I told
"She's right. It's a possibility." Emily added making me give a quick small smile.
"You okay sweetie?" Penelope asked.
"Yeah. Just not a big fan of people dying like this. Know some people who were buried alive once and so now I just act weird with cases like this. It's all good I can keep working through this."
"Wheels up in 30." Aaron told making us all get up.
'This feels like a shit show coming.'
