"ANNIKA!" Tears fall from Jamal's eyes.
"Now we know what happens if a statue gets you!" Tyler shakes.
"Everyone get back here!" Danya commands.
"Danya! You did it wrong!" Jamal reprimands.
"I'm not a genius!" Danya starts to cry. "It's my fault.."
"Guys, we don't know that Annika is dead!"Tyler says. "Maybe we'll get her back if we complete this task!"
Jamal and Danya cry.
"That's a pretty strong IF." Jamal mutters as he walks away with Danya, tears falling from their eyes.

The next morning, Sami goes to Savanna.
"Are we still friends?" Sami asks. "I'm really sorry about the whole article thing..."
"I understand where you're coming from, Sami." Savanna replies.
"Thank you!" Sami hugs Savanna.
Tommy sits next to Elayna.
"What's wrong?" He asks, seeing her forlorn face.
"Nothing... I'm fine." Elayna says.
"Does this have anything to do with the reason why Annika's gone missing?"
"Annika's gone missing?!" Tyler exclaims.
"Tyler, he's talking about what happened in the tunnels.." Jamal whispers.
"Ohhhh..."
"Idiot." Danya rolls her eyes.
"Are you okay?" Tyler asks Jamal.
"I don't know." Jamal says. "I don't know if I SHOULD be okay.. I mean she could be alive, but she could be dead.."
"No one survives a fall like that.." Tyler says.
"Thanks for that!" Jamal says, sarcastically, walking away.
