[From the previous episode, Thomas is in a police car, hearing the news about Sally's disappearance]

Police officer: She went missing the day after you visited the STEM building

Thomas: The day after the STEM building visit?
Police officer: Yep.

Thomas: What do you think happen to her?
Police officer: Well, we figured she might possibly be kidnapped by someone, or that someone might've captured her for unknown reasons. But now, there's no further detail

Thomas: When was the last time you saw her?
Police officer: The day after you visited the STEM building, kid

Thomas: So you mean, after I visited the STEM building, Sally went missing after I went home?
Police officer: Possibly

Thomas: What about that teddy bear?
Police officer: Well, yeah...about the teddy bear...it appears that Sally was carrying her teddy bear for support, until she got captured. She left her teddy bear in the cemetery by mistake...

Thomas: Huh?! That's it! Could this mean that Sally could be at the cemetery?!
Police officer: It could be possible

Thomas: Officer! I gotta go! (Exits the car)
Police officer: Kid! Wait!

*Thomas rushes back to Kion's home*

Thomas: Kion!
Kion: What is it?

Thomas: We have to go back to the cemetery

Kion: Why?
Thomas: I just bumped into a police officer, and he told me that Sally has been captured at the cemetery!
Kion: Huh?!

[It cuts to them being at the cemetery]

Thomas: Alright, let's go rescue Sally (Enters the cemetery)
Kion: There goes the energetic boy again...(Follows Thomas)
Thomas: Okay, Sally should be here somewhere

Kion: Where should we find her exactly?
Thomas: Hmm...(Sees the chamber) Wait a minute

[Has a flashback showing Thomas discovering the chamber]

Thomas: Isn't the chamber we saw the other night?

[End of flashback]

Kion: Yeah, I think you're right

Thomas: Should we go in?
Kion: I don't really know...

Thomas: Come on. It wouldn't hurt

Kion: Well okay, if you guess

Thomas: (Opens the chamber) Oh, its unlocked

Kion: Probably someone went to go investigate, but quits and just left the doors unlocked

Thomas: Yeah, probably you're right

Kion: Let's go inside

[The two entered the chamber, which is filled with coffins]

Thomas: Woah

Kion: Oh...I see

Thomas: See what?
Kion: This must be a storage room where coffins are being kept inside

Thomas: Why's that?
Kion: I think probably because so there's more space to bury

Thomas: Then, where's Sally?
Kion: Somewhere around here...

*The two search every coffin, until there's only one coffin left*

Thomas: This is the last coffin, so she's got to be in here

Kion: Could be

Thomas: I'm gonna open it right now (Opens the coffin)

*The coffin reveals Sally inside, sleeping*

Thomas: Sally!
Kion: Hey! Wake up! (Holds her and wakes her up by slapping her face)
Sally: (Wakes up) Wah! What happened?! What's going on?!
Thomas: Sally, are you alright?
Sally: Wait, who are you? And, what's going on?
Kion: We can explain everything once we get out of here!

*Zombies begin to emerge from their coffins*

Thomas: Zombies! Run!

*The three escaped the chamber and run to the exit. Suddenly, Sally is captured by a zombie*

Sally: (Screams) Guys! Help me!
Thomas: I'm coming! (Attacks the zombie and holds Sally's hand) Come on, let's go!

*The three escaped the cemetery*

Thomas: Phew, that was close...

Sally: So, what happened?
Thomas: We'll explain this once we get you to your parents

[It cuts to the police station where, Sally's mother is talking to the same police officer, the one Thomas talked to]

Police officer: Okay Ma'am! Calm down

Mrs. Greenfort: Where's my daughter?!

Police officer: The police is still searching for her, we'll give you the latest updates later on

Mrs. Greenfort: I want to know where my daughter is!

Thomas: (Off-screen) You mean, this girl?
Sally: Mommy!
Mrs. Greenfort: Sally! (Hugs her) Where have you been sweetie?!
Sally: It's a long story, but these guys will explain everything

Thomas: Well, you see

*Thomas tells Mrs. Greenfort the whole story. After the story...*

Mrs. Greenfort: Huh? Kidnapped?
Sally: Yep, that's right. I don't know who did, but Thomas here saved me

Mrs. Greenfort: Oh, thank you so much Thomas

Thomas: It was nothing

Sally: Here. Take this (Gives Thomas a present)
Thomas: What is it?
Sally: Don't open it until you get home, it's for your speciality

Thomas: Speciality?
Sally: Of course

Mrs. Greenfort: Thank you guys for rescuing my daughter

Kion: Nah, it was...nothing, I guess

Thomas: Can we go now?
Kion: Yeah, sure

*Thomas and Kion bid farewell to the Greenforts*

[Later that night]

*Thomas is doing a video chat to his father*

Thomas: Hi dad, it's me Thomas. It's been a month now since I moved here, and I think I'm starting to like it here. And to think, I probably made some new friends, but they're kind of...the energetic type that I wouldn't imagine, but I later met Christa and Xeno, and especially Kion! I know it's been this long, but I'll be seeing you when you get to Richmond. Love you

*Thomas ends the video chat*
