The six eldest children were in the bedrooms discussing plans. They had the blueprints of the house set out on the table. "There's a secret room in the house?" Norman asked.

Emma nodded as she pointed to the area between the bedroom and Mama's room. "Right. And it's location is right next to Mama's room. Mama's room has a washroom right next to it, and then her office. But our theory is that the walls of Mama's office and the washroom aren't even walls."

"I noticed recently," Gilda said. "That every time she disappears for those few minutes, she enters the washroom or her office."

"So we put the theory to the test and measured the walls both inside and outside the rooms. They were completely different. There's some sort of space worth ten steps of mine between there. One side of that space is a wall, and the other is a bookshelf. There must be some sort of entrance in both of the rooms." Don asked what the room would be. "Well, that would probably be..."

"For her to make reports." Y/n finished. "Mama reports into the HQ on a daily basis. That's probably what the room is for." Don looked at her strange when she said HQ. "The headquarters that send in both people like Sister Krone and our baby siblings."

Emma held the blueprints up. "Ray, Y/n, did you know about this room?"

They both shook their head. "Nope, but I suspected something like that existed somewhere in the house." Ray covered.

"Let's go in, then!" Don exclaimed. "It's where she communicates with the outside world! We could find some information on the whereabouts of Connie and the others!" Y/n and the three other eleven year olds avoided eye contact with that.

"But what about a key?" Gilda asked. "It's a secret room, so it should be locked."

"Could you break in, Norman?" Emma asked. She remembered when he picked the back door lock on that horrific night.

"Well, it depends on what type of lock it is..." Norman replied.

"Whoa, hold up." Ray said, putting a hand to halt the conversation right there. "There's no need to do something like that! It may be a communication device, but it probably only connects to HQ. Mama probably doesn't even know where they are. There's not much info to gain if we go in there. However, if we break in, there's a lot of risk. Remember, we have trackers embedded into our bodies."

The other three eldest nodded in understanding and agreement. Y/n raised a hand. "On top of that, we aren't sure of the security condition of the room. It's way too dangerous to break in without good reason." Y/n explained.

"Still!" Don exclaimed.

"Listen." Y/n voiced. "There's more for us to lose than if we attempt to break in. Forget it. We've discovered the room's location. Great. However, it's still no kind of place we should or need to break into at the moment."

The carrot and albino voiced that they agreed. Ray held up a finger. "Anyways, we have other things we need to be worried about instead. Right now, we have to avoid Sister catching us doing anything sketchy. Being hasty and rushing our actions is just digging our own grave."

"Exactly. Mama aside, if Sister gets the gist of anything we're trying to do, we're definitely screwed." Y/n remarked. "Keep that in mind, guys." Y/n referred to Gilda and Don.

"Don't worry!" Emma reassured. "We'll be fine as long as we act normal!" Gilda nodded.

The glasses girl and narrow headed boy began to head to the door. "Gonna go prepare for dinner..." The male said. The two left and footsteps could be heard going down the stairs. Huh? The four leftover faced each other.
