"Jake!" She quickly picks him up with his hands over his nose. While Larry looks at the map then to the stone. "It can't be..." from the map back to it his smile grows wider and brighter like a kid on Christmas morning. "It is!" Jake points at the X marking the spot in Larry's map bleeding a little from his nose. "Yes, and the treasure can be hidden anywhere in these ruins. Leave no stone unturned"
"Dude, my brother has a bloody nose." Mavis tells the explorer. "Right, treat his injury first then leave no stone unturned." This made the ginger girl facepalm. "Now hold still this might hurt." She takes out a first aid kit to tend to her twin brother's bleeding nose. "Ow, ow, okay mavis ow!" She tries to get him hold still that is if Jake could stop writhing from her. "Jake hold still you're nosebleed's gonna get worse." She growled in frustration grabbing at some low vines tying him up to keep him from struggling. "But Mavis it hurts!" He whined. "If you held still it wouldn't be hurting so much." She said irritated. "Now stay still so you won't bleed out." Mavis wanted nothing more than to find this treasure with her brother together and not with him suffering from this kind of injury.

"There, much better now." Mavis unties the vines keeping Jake from struggling while she treated his nose. "Now let's find that treasure, together." Mavis said holding her hand out to her brother who takes it picking himself up from the ground. With Lawrence, they search the ruins for whatever hint or clue that would lead them to the treasure hidden away lost to time. The twins were together searching in the ruins for anything. "Any luck kiddies?" Larry called to them. "Nothing, man." Said Mavis looking under a large rock she while her brother struggled to lift it. "Hurry up Mave, I think I'm about to give out." He said feeling his grip slipping. She steps away letting him put the rock down.

Jake was on a stone platform meditating while Mavis and Lawrence searched and she looked at him annoyed. "What are you doing now?" "Hush Mavis I'm trying to picture in my mind's eye to where the treasure might be hidden and it's over there!" The redheaded boy points towards an ancient vine wrapped crumbling entrance leading to a temple or cave of sorts.

"How brilliant of you, my boy

"How brilliant of you, my boy. Mavis, it's best to not underestimate your twin brother. He has the potential makings of a true explorer." Said the lanky adult leading the way. "See, I told you so." Jake felt rather smug with relying on his "mind's eye". "That lost treasure isn't going to find itself." Jake follows close behind Lawrence having Mavis run after them inside into the darkness within.
