Flu's eyes flew open. She saw Clu and the hospital around her. Clu rushed into her line of vision. They smiled. Both relieved. Clu hugged her face, cheek to cheek. Flu asked after the other 3. All fine. Their smiles widened and she fell asleep.

Flu had been in hospital for 3 days. Croco had wanted to personally kill Clu for almost getting killed but obviously had let her live. Croco had been unable to manage invites for his men for the opening night at DJ Park. Clu had refused to help. He cursed himself for assuming they would be safe at a crowded park with only invited guests. He had underestimated Clu's inborn penchant for trouble.

The 5 buddies had spent the night in a horror movie themed room that had machines that created artificial snow. The ceiling was a false sky. The control systems were not functioning correctly so it had been closed to public for the opening night. But no one knew how the machines had started automatically. They had all nearly frozen to death. Luckily they were in a smaller room not in the main section where the snow fell thicker.

Croco, his team and the park personnel had guessed they were in one of the buildings with snow-themed attractions. First they narrowed down the search zones. Then they tried both manual searches and tracker gadgets to trace Flu's mobile. After 3 attempts the search was almost called off.

Then a voice echoed faintly in Croco's head. It said, "Come to... Dream... Catcher..." Croco had forgotten that part of the conversation. He was by then beyond caring if he sounded silly. He asked the park staff if there was a something called Dream Catcher on the park. He prayed it not to be a new drug in the market that the 5 friends had smoked. The engineer searched the names of the exhibits and attractions on his tablet and found one building tagged as Dreamcatcher but it was in the restricted area.

They had not checked the buildings in the restricted areas. The search had finally narrowed down to the exact building. Croco kicked himself. Again he had not listened to Flu and again lives had almost been lost by being skeptical.
