It was Wednesday and Ravin met up with Lincoln. They all had a key to the place now and let themselves in. "Okay. We need to go through the those boxes again and move them out." Lincoln nodded. They made quick work of cleaning out the room then Ravin walked around looking for any clues that would tell her why the room was built and kept a secret. Then she figured it out. She ran back to Lincoln who was close set than she thought and ran into him he stood her up and looked at her with curiosity. "Hey what's going on are you okay?" He asked concerned.

"Lincoln! I know why they had this room! It was built for the Second World War! Many people were worried the Nazi would invade, even Canada! Jewish people's houses and businesses and everything would be taken from them! They put all of the things that mattered most to them down here but not survival things because the Nazi never reached Canada! That's why all the pictures and vases and stuff of no real value was hidden down here! Because it was valuable to them and they were hiding it from the Nazi!" Lincoln's eyes went wide. " we need to get this stuff to a museum or something!" "Not yet! We are going to photo copy all the photos and take pictures of everything first. The others don't know about this, we need to tell them tonight at dinner." Ravin said.

*That Night*

The food was laid out but before anyone began to eat Ravin said she had a very important announcement. They all listened intently. She stood up. "I knew their was a story behind that room I found at the drop ship but I didn't want to concern anyone. I didn't have class today so I asked Lincoln to come with me to check it out and fond out why it was built, who built it, and why it was a secret. We think it was to prepare for world war 2. That the original owners of the place were jewish and we're getting ready to go into hiding like the Anne Frank family. They put all their 'valuables' there which was family photos and books and things they didn't want taken away. The only people who know about it are those sitting around this table and I say we keep it that way. We should photo copy and take pictures of everything we found and then we could hand it over to a museum that specializes in world war 2 and the people who were affected by it."

Miller spoke up. "You went into the coffee shop and found all that by yourself?"

"No I asked Lincoln to help me." She said.

It was Octavia's turn. "And you didn't tell me!" Lincoln open his mouth to speak but Ravin cut him off. "Don't be mad at Lincoln I asked him not to say anything because I didn't want anyone to get their hopes up. We only knew we were going to check it out for a few days."

Octavia nodded but didn't look too happy.

"I wish you at least told me!" Miller said.

"I'm sorry Miller I know it's your place and I can see why you would be angry but up you were so busy and the place opens soon I didn't want to overwhelm you." Ravin explained.

"Look guys she was just trying to protect us we can't be mad at her for that." Bellamy said. "Thank you for telling us Ravin we can figure out what we will do with all the stuff after we open. For now let's eat." The dinner was silent. Everyone got up and put their dishes away then headed up to their rooms.

The next day Miller and Clarke began to call companies to get coffee beans sent to them and Octavia had a pretty good idea of what coffee maker she thought they should get.

It was a little pricy but it went very well with the atmosphere and was perfect. She told Miller about it and he gave her the thumbs up she called the manufacturer and was told it could be there at the earliest in two weeks. " no that won't work! We are opening in exactly 2 weeks. We need to know how to properly use it and get it installed." Octavia said.

"Listen kid. This is what I can do. I will let you guys borrow a sample and send along a representative to show you how to use it. We can get that to you in a week."

"Okay thank you so much! And that is free?" Octavia asked bracing herself for the catch.

"Alright kid I'll pull some strings and get the guy there on us okay."

"Thank you so much!" She hung up and went to tell Miller what was going to happen.

"Okay that will work great! Now go find display things where we can show off all the baked goods if you get that done we need floor to ceiling book shelves. Bellamy has the measurements." Miller instructed Octavia.

"On it!" Octavia went and sat down and started searching on her phone.

Miller groaned there was still so much to do. "Don't worry buddy. You got this. And us. Every thing is going to be okay." Bellamy wrapped an arm loosely around millers shoulders to cheer him up.

Miller sighed. "Thanks. It means a lot to me that all you guys are helping m out like this." He pulled down his beanie and walked off.
