The three of them run out of the manor from the gate and they continue to travel on the sidewalk Rebecca and Jacob are trotting ahead and Tim is struggling to keep up.

"Which ice cream shop are we going to anyway." Tim inquires

Rebecca and Jacob both share a look debating which ice cream shop Tim didn't know the way to.

"Murphy's ice cream shop." They both exclaim

'Oh, that's why this place looks so unfamiliar. Mabey that's why it's taking so long to get there that place is kind of far... Wait, what if their lying and we're going to the slums...no Jacob may do that but not Becca she wouldn't lie to me.' Tim concludes in his head

"Here we are," Jacob says with a tone of satisfaction

"Yay we're home!" Rebecca beams with her arms outstretched.

"You lied to me?" Tim says looking at Rebecca with a distraught expression.

"I'm sorry Tim, we just wanted to go home," Rebecca explains

"Yea, don't you know how it feels like to want to go home." Jacob chimes in "Oh yea, your Derik's actual kid so you wouldn't know." Jacob sarcastically answers

After Rebecca and Jacob explore their old hideouts and they visit different places, they used to hang out and Tim just trails behind.

"Hey, do you think we can explore that house that we used to think was haunted?" Rebecca suddenly asks

"Yea we're definitely brave enough and strong enough," Jacob says puffing his chest out confidently.

"What house?" Tim asks with a look of both confusion and worry on his face.

Rebecca and Jacob both ignore the question and run ahead on the cracked roads of the slums.

"Come on Tim" Rebecca calls out to him

The two of them run ahead on the road dodging nails and splinters littered all over the road. They turn towards the sidewalk making a sharp right turn and dodging electric cables dangling dangerously low. Tim's struggling to keep up and they eventually stop when they hear him call out to slow down and don't see him anywhere. They walk the rest of the way.

"We're finally here" Jacob concludes.

Tim looks up at the partly collapsing house his eyes widen.

Just as Rebecca and Jacob are about to enter the house Tim starts whining "I don't want to go in there I don't want to you said we were going for ice cream this isn't the ice cream place!"

"Quit being such a baby Tim." Jacob retorts in annoyance.

"I'm not a baby and I don't want to go! I want to stay here!" Tim yells stomping his feet.

"Okay, whatever Tim stay here," Jacob mutters rolling his eyes.

"You sure Tim," Rebecca asks

"Yea I'm sure." Tim states with a determined look on his face 'Yes! We're not going to go inside the creepy house.'

"Okay whatever Tim, come on Becca let's go without the baby, "Jacob says flatly.

"Wait where are you going? Tim asks suddenly "You're not supposed to go in there! You're supposed to stay with me. You're supposed to watch me, so I don't get hurt or kidnapped."

"I guess I could stay with you really feel that afraid," Rebecca suggests a bit reluctantly.

"Yes, stay with me," Tim says in a relieved tone

"No, he's going to ruin it for you!" Jacob protests

"It's fine we can come back next time." Rebecca reluctantly reassures

"What do you mean it's fine you've been wanting to go back in here for years!" Jacob splutters angrily "That's why you're so reluctant about staying here, you can't just let Tim ruin it for you. We didn't even want Tim to come he just invited himself." He reminds

"You can go ahead," Rebecca says reluctantly

Rebecca brightens up a little when a thought comes to her mind and she calls out "If it's not safe run back, but if it is safe yell from the house and we'll come."

Tim doesn't protest about going into the house when he hears her say that, but he does look upset about it. Jacob's feels a slight satisfaction when he hears the statement and sees the expression on Tim's face.

Jacob enters the house and walks into the dining room he sees dried blood in the room, and he decides to continue to explore he enters the kitchen and starts looking through all the drawers and cabinets to see if there's anything interesting in them.
