Jamal runs in. "Tyler!"
Jamal zooms up, under and in between the strings to Tyler.
He takes Tyler and gets him out.
"What happened?" Tyler asks.
"I saved you and I'd like a thank you." Jamal laughs.
"Jamal, you're here.." Annika says.
"Yeah. Apparently you guys can't be patient!"
"We didn't need you!" Danya snickers.
"Um, apparently you did!" Jamal smirks.
He walks away.

That night, Annika wakes up to the ghost woman in her room.
"Time carries on and I have still yet to have the Mask!" She shouts.
"It takes time!" Annika says.
"Senkhara.."
Annika turns and sees Danya pointing at the ghost woman.
"Senkahara.." Danya whispers.
The ghost woman disappears.
"Danya?" Annika goes to her. "What was that about?"
"That's Senkhara, I read about her in one of my Ancient Greek books. Her and Hades had a history.. She's no ordinary ghost. If we don't find this Mask, Senkhara really will kill us!"

In the middle of the night, Sibuna goes into the Tunnels.
"Why do we have to be down here NOW?" Tyler groans.
"Senkhara is getting angry." Annika explains.
"Let's just get this over with." Jamal says.
Tyler stays while Jamal, Elayna and Danya put the baby spiders on the hooks and Annika puts the big spider in the wall.
The wall opens up and reveals another tunnel.
"YES!" Annika exclaims.
The wall starts to close again.
Annika runs in before it closes.
"ANNIKA! NO!" Everyone shouts.
They wait until they hear her screaming from the inside.
"THERES SOMETHING IN HERE!" She screams. "SOMETHING NOT HUMAN! HELP ME!!!!!"
