Cong looked very surprised to see Danny. "Sir?" he asked.

"Cong!" Dani shouted. Cong took his eyes off Danny and passed him to get to Dani and Bee.

He glanced Bee over before looking to Dani. "We have to get in the basement," Cong instructed quickly. "Help me carry her."

A moan escaped from Bee lips as they started to move her.

Laughter entered from further down the hallway. It would be familiar to some but none of those present.

"Uncle!" the voice said happily, "We finally meet!"

Cong wasted no time getting them in the basement and sealing the door. Then he opened a crate with some guns and panel to a secret passageway out. Dani argued a little with Cong, but they quickly made their way through the passageway.

Laurel was silent the entire way back, eyes never leaving the bracelet. Her face was blank though occasionally she swallowed.

Raven spared no time, returning to the house as quickly as he was able.

There was no sign of the other Juttle. Laurel ran out of theirs and into the building.

Raven was right behind Laurel.

Laurel ran right into Danny's room. Nothing. She spun around. "Where did they go?!" she demanded of Raven harshly.

"I don't know," Raven replied, already pulling out his phone and quickly began to dial Dani. After a few rings, Dani answered. "Dani, I-... We're at the house-... Slow down! What do you mean?... Juttle? Here? There's no one here, the house is empty-... Where are you?... Bee is hurt? How bad?... Alright, we'll come find you. Where's-..." There was a very long pause. "We're on our way. Don't move." He hung up the phone.

Laurel's eyes were worried, "Where?!" she demanded, moving closer to Raven.

"... Grab some water and meet me in the basement," Raven instructed.

Laurel quickly went and grabbed some water before running to Raven in the basement.

Raven had grabbed a few medical supplies, broken into the basement, and now he was working on getting the trap door open.

Laurel stared at the supplies, "Bee's hurt?" she asked quickly as she moved to help him with the door.

Raven nodded. "Not too badly. But Cong's not doing too well." In another moment the door was open.

"Over here," they could hear Dani faintly call. It looked like they had only made it part of the way through the tunnel. And so Raven started down the tunnel.

After a minute or two they ran across the group. Bee was laying on a blanket. Cong was curled up against the wall. It looked like Dani had start setting up a sort of camp down there like she didn't know how long they would have to stay down there. "Oh good," she said. "I think I stopped Bee's bleeding, but I'm no doctor."

It took Laurel two seconds. "Where's my father?" she demanded, looking around.
