asked. Emma threw her head on the pillow. "He's the devil," she replied. That didn't really help Will. "I'm really sorry about your friends, but I still believe that Connor is still alive. How
are you with this Baal? What about the sister you mentioned? "Emma looked him in the eye for the first time." If Kevin, Jas and Connor are dead, they must therefore still be alive. ", she said calmly. Will got it

deep breath. He would have liked to help Emma, ​​what should he do? If their friends were really killed ... But what about Connor? Will not accept that he was dead and decided to investigate further. He got up and looked at Emma again."I'll be back.", He proves. Emma took note of this without emotion. Will put his business card on the chair, which contained his address and phone number. Then he said goodbye and left the room. He took the elevator down to the first floor and left the hospital behind. He got into his car and drove off. The thing with Baal had given him pause. It was the name of an ancient god. Was he wearing an amulet? If so, Will had to pick up something he'd stashed in an old closet a long time ago.
Much terrible had happened. Kevin had been forced to face Jas and kill him. While his and Connor's fate was still uncertain, Emma had managed to drag Bryan out of the cave. When she came to, she immediately surveyed her surroundings. Bryan and Jas lay unconscious near them. She crawled to Jas first and wanted to wake him up. She went white as a sheet when she found that he was no longer breathing. The first time she had cried when Will's visit was. Before that, she had no opportunity. Only a strong tremor ripped the girl out of her trance. Dust trickled from the ceiling and a loud creak could be heard. The tunnel inevitably threatened to collapse. Was that the work of Baal and Claire? Hadn't they done enough already? To prevent herself from being buried under the rubble, Emma tried to keep her mind cool. She wanted to take Jas with her, but then looked at Bryan. She felt his pulse and found that he was still breathing. Bryan was basically Baal's, but he hadn't been her enemy in the end. Since she could only carry one of them, she was forced to leave Jas behind. That was probably the hardest thing she ever had to do. The doctors later told her she did the right thing since Jas was already dead. She remembered Will's words. Either Kevin and Connor were killed by Baal, or they were buried in the cave. Emma had only one reason for her strength. Inwardly, she also hoped that the two were alive. Kevin was strong, she knew that. Perhaps he had managed to defeat Baal after all and escape from the cave. Then why hadn't he saved her? And who was responsible for Jas' death?
On the way to his apartment, Will drove past a rustic high-rise. Various companies had their offices there. Will had no idea that it contained an important lead to Connor. In fact, it contained all the answers he was looking for. After Baal's old hiding place was 'sacrificed', Claire returned to the skyscraper. At first she thought Baal's great plan had failed. Jas was dead and so was Bryan. Then she learned that Bryan had survived after all. She thought of Eve and her hope grew. When the sixth Patak arrived a few days later, the cards could be reshuffled. Bryan would recover and a solution had to be found for Jas too.Eve had signed up for the next few days and Baal had returned too. He studied ancient Egyptian scrolls day and night. He really wanted to find a replacement for Jas. That afternoon he came out of his room, which was seldom otherwise. Claire greeted him respectfully. "Anything new?" She asked gently. Baal shook his head sullenly. "Nothing. The only option would be to bring Harendote's soul back from the underworld. But even for that a solution has to be found," he reported. Claire nodded understandingly. Baal took a few steps to look into the neighboring room. At first glance, you could think it was a patient room in a hospital. The patient slept in a bed and was connected to equipment. "No change," Claire hurried to say. Baal sighed. "It was a severe setback. At least our enemies are wiped out, so we can operate undisturbed," he said and Claire agreed. "What should I do next?" She asked formally. Baal thought for a moment. "There's not much we can do at the moment. Just check on Bryan. His condition has to improve at some point," he ordered. Claire promised to see him immediately.
Will flinched when something was suddenly thrown in his face. "It's your turn to do the laundry today," said his roommate sternly. Will smiled sheepishly. "I'm sorry, but I'm in a real hurry.", He tried to persuade himself. His roommate didn't seem to fall for it. "Today is your day off, so your excuse doesn't work.", He let him run up. "Still ..." Will replied hairily. His counterpart paused. "Anything new from your cousin?" He showed sympathy. Will didn't want to commit. "I was in the hospital. Two of his friends have been admitted there. One is in a coma, which is why I couldn't find out anything from him. The girl helped me, but I have to research further," he explained hastily. His roommate nodded understandingly. "All right, I'll do the laundry again this week.", He took the work off him. Will patted his right shoulder gratefully and

disappeared into his room. It wasn't particularly large or luxurious, but Will found it cozy. He did not believe in neatness either. This time, however, he cursed her. He was looking for a present that he had received a long time ago but had long since stowed away in a closet. He just tossed his clothes on the floor and rummaged in the bottom compartments. Soon he was holding an old shoebox from which he fished one of the notorious amulets. "So I still need you.", Will spoke to the dead object. He eyed it suspiciously and finally hung it around his neck. He also hid it with his shirt and was about to start walking again.However, his roommate stopped him. He held the telephone receiver in his right hand. Will was breathing hard and tried to get rid of the caller quickly. "Yes, hello?" He asked quickly. At first the caller took his time answering. "You went to see Bryan and Emma?" He finally asked. Will paused. "Who am I talking to?" He looked more interested now. The caller had obviously blocked his voice, but Will could still find something familiar in her. "It's way too dangerous. You don't know who you're dealing with," she said. However, Will wasn't the type to be put off by a simple warning. "I'm looking for someone," he finally replied. The caller gave a short growl. "Yes, I know who you are looking for. Your cousin is fine, there is no need to put you in any further danger." Will was speechless. "Who are you? How do you know about Connor?" He asked, but then broke off. The caller had already hung up. "It would be better if I didn't ask," said his roommate, who had involuntarily listened. Will wished him a nice day and left the apartment. Actually, he had intended to check the tunnel to see whether it contained any further information. Now, however, his attention had been drawn to a new lead. This stranger apparently knew a great deal about the matter. Even more interesting was that he said Connor was alive. Emma's story had already faded Will's hope, but now he was sure that his cousin was still alive. He had to find out who the mysterious caller was and how much he really knew.
It was anything but easy for Emma to get out of bed. She slipped into the sandals that a sister had brought her and stumbled out of the room. The appearance of Will hadn't really changed anything. But it was kind of good that someone else believed that Kevin and Connor couldn't die that easily. Then it occurred to Emma that Kevin could leave the underworld once. New courage and

new hope had flared in her. She really wanted to talk to Bryan now. He was the only one who knew what had really happened. She had been told he was in a coma, but Emma was not dissuaded. If necessary, she would watch over his bed day and night to get answers. She still felt a little weak on her feet, but still didn't let anyone help her. She drove down a few floors and asked for Bryan's room number at the desk. She thanked her and walked on. Soon she had reached the right one and discovered Bryan, who was hooked up to various devices and asleep. She went to him and leaned over him. She was about to curse him until she remembered that he too had lost someone he loved. She shook his arm, but nothing worked.She sat next to him and stared hypnotically at him. "Damn it, open your eyes!" She thought angrily. "I didn't know that you two were such good friends.", Someone said now. Emma turned her head and stared at the door. Claire entered the room calmly and innocently. "Unfortunately I didn't bring any flowers.", She seemed to make fun of Emma. Emma got up and ran towards Claire. She had apparently expected that and held out her hand. She seemed to be using her strength because Emma slumped and fell to the ground. "Why ..." she said weakly. Claire looked at her questioningly. "Why am I here? Why am I not on your side? Why is this all happening? Just express yourself more precisely," she suggested. Emma gathered all the strength she still had. "Why ... did you kill Jas?" She asked demanding. Claire twisted a mine and raised her hands. "Sorry, you are misinformed. The one who killed Jas ... was my brother." she betrayed. Emma didn't take it seriously at first. "Don't lie," she snapped at the girl. Claire sighed. "Believe it or not believe it. When I found Jas and my brother, Jas was dead in his arms," ​​she replied. Emma didn't respond. "Where's Kevin?" She finally asked. Claire seemed to have been waiting for this question. "He's dead. He thwarted my God's plans, which is why I killed him," she replied. Emma winced. Could she really believe Claire? "Could you really kill your own brother?" She asked challengingly. Claire seemed freezing
