"Dang, there are even spiders in boxes! Cobwebs, and everything else that inhabited this box!", Xavier managed in disgust and fear.
"Stop complaining. You are the only one complaining about a spider.", Amy snaps.
"I have arachnophobia.", Xavier gulped.
"Shoot.", Jake shot his eyebrows up in surprise.
"Help, help, help, seal the box! Help!", Xavier panicked as he slowly walked backwards away from the spider.
"Let me see... I don't think you are going to like this...", Jake sighed.
"What is it?", Amy inquired.
"It's... a red back spider.", Jake hesitantly revealed the news.
"MOMMY, HELP!!! GRAB THE SLIPPER, MOMMY!!!!", Xavier screamed in horror as the spider slowly climbed out of its 'home' and starts to chase Xavier.
"Don't tell Xavier it can bite you.", Jake whispers.
"I know.", Amy replies.
"Jake? Amy? Help? Help?", Xavier is now on top of the box on the highest row on the shelf, precipitation running down his cheeks.
"It looks like he is both sweating and wailing.", Amy shares her thoughts with Jake.
"Can I borrow your shoe for a sec?", Jake asked, pulling out his hand and making a gesture.
"Sure. If it is enough to stop Class Clown from a meltdown of spiders.", Amy jokes.
"Eh. It's normal.", Jake shrugs and catapults Amy's sneakers at the red back spider.
The spider tries it's best to crawl its way out of the tight gaps between the slipper and a box, it unfortunately, escaped and continued chasing poor Xavier, who was running around the attic, slamming himself into debris, boxes, and chairs sometimes.
"Guys, you have to help me! Slippers don't work! Use a chair! Oof! Aak! Eek!", Xavier screams as he slams into more stuff in the attic.
Shoot, new mission: Help Xavier conquer his fears or defeat the spider. Jake sighed in his thoughts.
"Gimme another sneaker.", Jake does his hand gesture once again.
"But—"
"Now Amy!", Jake reprimands the shy girl.
The girl hesitantly handed over her second sneaker, and Jake, despite ignoring Xavier's advice , threw the shoe once again. This time, the spider was stuck, big time.
"Ok, you can stop running hither and thither now.", Jake reassured Xavier firmly.
"Dead?", Xavier panted with tears in his eyes.
"Do you want me to touch it?", Jake intimidates Xavier a bit.
"Don't.", Xavier took another deep breath.
"Let me just squish it into smithereens.", Jake walked towards the red back bravely and SPLAT! Goes the spider's life.
"See, Xavier? It's dead now.", Amy patted Xavier on the back.
"Yay! Plus, you sound patronising.", Xavier notes.
"Ok, he's back to his normal self.", Amy reassured Jake.
"Finally. I don't think I want to experience Xavier having trauma ever again.", Jake takes a sigh of relief.
"Let's find the tape.", Amy tells everyone to go back on task.
"Ooh! There is an empty trophy set! 'Achievements', 'Jumpscare #1', 'Secret #1', "Secret #2', 'The Final'. Huh?", Xavier inspects a trophy set.
"Jumpscare sounds a bit unsteady.", Jake's heart rate quickens.
