When Hugo and Joan left the room with some of Hugo's stuff, Camden looked around the room for the cause of the weird black ooze. He looked under the bed, went up a ladder to look for a leak and he just looked in every nook and cranny of the room and he found nothing. Camden was dumbfounded and he sighed, crossing his arms and looking at the ooze. "This is all so weird", he said to himself, reaching his hand out to touch the ooze. It felt wrong but when his fingers touched it, he felt nothing. He narrowed his eyes and stretched his palm along the ooze and then he got an electric shock. Camden fell to the floor, shaking for a couple of seconds before returning back to normal. He shook his head, stood up and saw the ooze turn from black to red. "Oh my fucking God", he said as he watched the wall start to crumble right before him. Joan and Hugo came back up and saw Camden and then the wall. "What the hell happened?", Hugo asked as he looked where his wall used to be. "I touched it", Camden said, "I got a shock off it and it turned red then crumbled". Hugo and Joan both walked up to the now destroyed wall and saw there was a staircase. "There's something there", Joan said to Camden, "It's a staircase". Camden looked into the darkness and he knew the building would be shut down if he called the authorities and hundreds of kids would have nowhere to go. He took his phone out, put his torch on and took a deep breath. "Here goes nothing", he said, looking back at Hugo and Joan. None of them was ready for what lay ahead.
Camden put his foot on the first step and he had a knot in his stomach form. "Are you okay?", Joan asked, "What's down there?". "I don't see anything yet", Camden said, "Don't come down. I'll see if it's safe". He continued down the stairs and looked at the walls and saw some graffiti he assumed were gang. Camden reached the bottom of the staircase and found a door. He put his hands on his hips and scratched the back of his head. "There's a door down here", he said back to Hugo and Joan, "I'll see if I can open it". Camden put his phone away and felt for a door handle. He couldn't find anything so he hit it twice and it opened. "Holy shit", he said, "Guys, it opened!". Joan and Hugo wanted to go down so badly, but they could feel the vibrations of it opening. This has gotten real.
