Phoe heard someone or something moving around on the lower level.

She asked Jonathan for the gun and put her index finger to her lips to make sure he didn’t make any noise, and Peter kept a muzzle on Jeremy, whose will to fight seemed to have disappeared. Sensitive ears? Sheesh! Crouched on the stairs, she could see the lower level without actually going all the way down. A cloaked figure presently struggled to get a piece of the wall to move without success, and whomever it was remained seemingly ignorant of their presence just above. Phoe quietly moved closer to her target, not noticing anything special about the room. Another ten foot by ten foot circular chamber, very similar to the one they had just left, and of course, full of sand. Shit! There are no obvious exits!

No doors or any obvious sign that there has ever been a way out of the room, except for the way they came in. She tried not to slip on the sand-covered stairs as she descended with the gun pointed at the mysterious figure. She managed to make it to the bottom with Jonathan right beyond her.

“Freeze!” ordered Phoe.

The cloaked figure stopped pushing on the wall and straightened. The voice said it was a male, and he emitted a menacing chuckle, raising his hands and slowly turning around to face her.

“Interesting. You’re not as stupid as I thought.”

Holy Shit! “Francis? How did you get here!”

“You’re just as stupid as I thought,” he said. He motioned to Jeremy who spoke to him in Norwegian. The two laughed. “Did you really think you could stop all of us from protecting what isn’t yours to take? Well, I had high hopes we would eliminate you before now. Your perseverance has been an unexpected nuisance. I have no time for you, stupid woman!”

Phoe approached him, determined to hide the powerful rage building inside her. “Hey, asshole. Who’s holding the gun? You will make time for us!”

Jonathan and Peter joined them, with Jeremy’s arms pulled up behind him to a painful burn by Peter. Jeremy glared at Peter the entire time.

Peter frisked Jeremy and then Phoe pointed the gun closer to Francis’s head as Peter frisked him, too, removing a meat cleaver and butcher knife concealed inside his cloak. After handing both weapons to Jonathan, the three of them faced the pair of miscreants.

Jeremy began to laugh nervously, leaning against the wall closest to him and sliding down into the sand with his legs crossed.

“Now, we’re all stuck in here!” He whined, running his hands through the sand and watching the granules flow through his fingers.

Phoe looked back up the stairs, and her flashlight confirmed her sudden fear. The openings have closed? What in the....How?!

“How in the hell did the room close up without us hearing anything?” asked Peter. The color had drained from his face.

“What, were you expecting Thor to rumble again?” asked Jeremy, chuckling sadly. “Well, it doesn’t matter now. You can even shoot me if you want.
