3rd POV

Its only been a day since they snuck into Stricklers secret room. Since they couldn't find the bridge location, at least they've taken the fetch. That way there won't be anymore kidnappings babies. Right now everyone is gathered in Toby's room while Aarg is playing video games as Toby just got back from looking for help.

YN: So, what did NotEnrique say?

YN: So, what did NotEnrique say?

Toby: He said he won't do it, even for bunch of non-washed socks.

YN: Might as well give it to Aarg.

Toby: What about Jim?

YN points at Jim who's having trouble with his amulet.

Jim: What good is this amulet if it can't help me with this? Claire's brother is trapped somewhere in the darklands, and there's nothing I can do about it?

Blinky: Unfortunately, there is nothing any one of us can do.

Jim: What about the furgolator machine? If I can shrink down, maybe-

YN: Whoa slow down there, Jim! That's a good and terrible idea.

Jim: What do you mean?

YN: Getting in with shrunken size is one thing. But how do we get out when it wears off? We'll be trapped there with an army of gumm-gumms.

Blinky: And the darklands is a black labyrinth, master Jim. Simply finding baby Enrique would be a nigh impossible task of its own.

Aarg: Gunmar.

Blinky: Aarg is right. If any of us were foolish enough to cross over, under no circumstances could you be saved, at risk of freeing Gunmar.

Jim: But, what if-

Aarg interrupted by slamming the floor.

Aarg: Under no circumstances!

Toby: Dude, don't be reckless! You almost just lost a golden tuna roll! Sit down. Relax.-

YN: Reckless? Look who's trying to be reckless on going in the darklands!

Jim: How am I reckless!? This is Enrique we're talking about-

YN: You're not looking at a bigger picture!

YN slams the desk which shaken Jim while leaving the desk crack.

YN: When I took a peek through the fetch, I didn't just see the darklands, i heard "his" voice.

Jim: Gunmar?

YN: (Nods.) I was only lucky to get out of there before I lost my head.

YN sat down and sigh deeply.

YN: I'm sorry. Its just that we're not ready to do both of them.

Jim hold out his amulet to glance it before speaking to Blinky.
