Chapter 39 - Abandoned Building

"Hey Lion, we have been walking for a while now where are you taking us? This place is pretty tight as well." Bull asked as he looked towards Adam who was right in front of the line while walking through a small alleyway with Bunny in front of him.

"Just a little more Bull a couple more minutes and we're there," Adam answered while looking towards Bull who quickly nodded towards him.

Adam, Bunny, and Bull walked up a small concrete staircase and arrived at Owl's house. Adam quickly ran ahead and turned around towards Bull and Bunny while pointing towards the Owl's house that was a couple of meters behind him "Here we are this is the place that will help us."

Bull and Bunny looked towards Owl's house while following Adam who was right in front of them. Bull walked a little faster leaving Bunny behind who was looking towards the giant concrete walls that were surrounding Owl's house and walked on Adam's right side while looking towards him "Isn't this an abandoned building Lion? Just look at the front door of the house, it's all board up."

"I can assure you that it's not an abandoned building Bull this place will help us on our second game it will give us an edge over the other contestants trust me," Adam explained while looking towards Bull as they get closer to Owl's house.

Bunny walked towards Adam's left side and looked towards Adam "If this isn't an abandoned building how are we going to enter it? Because I can't see any entrance to that house."

"We're entering from the side door of the house come follow me." Adam smiled as he took a right turn and walked towards the side of the house, he stopped right in front of the small concrete staircase that was on the side of the house with Bull and Bunny right behind him.

"That's the entrance of the house." Adam pointed toward the bright red door that was at the end of the staircase that has its light turned on while Bull and Bunny stares towards it.

"Okay let's go then what are we doing standing here?" Bull asked as he quickly walked down the staircase with Bunny right behind him, Adam smiled and followed both of them.

Bull and Bunny stopped right in front of the red door and stands right on top of the welcome doormat while Adam stands a couple of steps behind them. Bull noticed the paper that was in the door and looked towards it "Knock the door one time if you're a resident of the Kingdom, knock the door three times if you're a contestant for The King's Game."

"So do we just knock three times Lion?" Bull asked as he turned his head around and looked towards Adam who quickly nodded.

"That's simple. Do you want to knock on the door Bunny?" Bull asked as he looked towards Bunny who quickly shook her head. Bull looked towards the door and knocked it three times.

TING! A loud bell sound came from the floor under Bull and Bunny as both of them got slightly startled and looked towards the floor while the light above them turned off. Bunny quickly turned her head and looked towards Adam "What was that sound? Did it came from the flo-"

The floor under Bull and Bunny instantly opened in half to its sides and both of them saw a large pitch-black hole under them, Bull and Bunny instantly fell into the hold while Adam walked to the edge of the hole and looked inside it.

"LIONNNNNNNNN!" Bull and Bunny screamed to the top of their lungs as they fell into the pitch-black hole. Adam smiled and waved towards Bull and Bunny while watching both of them disappeared into the pitch-black hole.

The floor slowly came back up and turned back to its original state, Adam smiled as he walked forwards and stands right in front of the red door "Do I need to give them some time to get out from the pile of plushy?"

"AAAAAAAAAA!" Bull and Bunny screamed to the top of their lungs as they emerged out from the chute and landed on top of the pile of colorful plushy. Bull quickly swan up through the pile of plushy and fell to the ground on his shield with Bunny right beside him.

"Are you okay Bunny? Did we just fell through the ground for a couple of minutes?" Bull looked towards Bunny who was laying on her bag right beside him who quickly gave him a thumbs up.

"I'm fine and where is Lion? Did he came down with us?" Bunny asked as she heard a loud wind came from the chute that was right in front of her as Adam came out from the chute and landed on his feet on top of the plushies.

"Hey, you guys made it congratulations." Adam smiled as he jumped out from the pile of plushy right in the middle of Bull and Bunny who slowly gets up to their feet.

"Really Lion? What was that about? Why didn't you tell us about that?" Bull asked as he pointed towards the end of the chute that was sticking out from the roof.

"It wouldn't be fun to tell both of you that you will fall down a chute, plus you two won't believe me if I told you that," Adam answered as he stands right in front of Bull and smiled towards him.

"Well you should've at least warned us that we're going to fall for a couple of minutes, so where are we now? What is this place Lion?" Bunny asked as she looked around the room.

"Wait a minute, where is she? She should be here right now where did she go?" Adam asked as he walked past Bull and Bunny. Adam walked around the room leaving Bull and Bunny who were standing right in front of the plushy pile while looking towards him.

"Who are you looking for Lion?" Bull asked as he walked towards Adam who was standing right beside the round wooden table that was filled with newspaper with Bunny right beside him.

TING! Adam quickly turned around towards the elevator that was behind him that opened on its own. He saw Owl who has a dark red leather bag on her right shoulder and was holding a transparent plastic bag which was filled with newspapers and magazines with her left hand "Wait what? What are you three doing here? How did you three get in here? What? Didn't I locked the door?"

"This doesn't make any sense? How? Where did I put my remote?" Owl asked herself as she reached into her bag with her right hand and took out a white remote that have three small light bulb red, yellow, and green that have three rubber button below it with the same colors.

"Why is the green light on? I remember putting it on red, I should've listened and put it inside the case. Oh well." Owl shrugs her shoulders as she walked out of the elevator.

"Hey there Owl how are you?" Adam waved towards Owl who stopped right beside the round wooden table that was in the middle of her room and puts down the transparent plastic bag to the table on top of a pile of newspapers.

"So you found out my name Lion? Did you found out the name of this place as well?" Owl asked while she took off her side bag from her shoulder and hold it with her right arm.

"Yes, it's called the Owl's Nest," Adam answered while looking towards Owl who quickly smiled.

"Okay, then I'll get ready for the three of you just give me a couple of minutes to clean my place a little bit." Own smiled as she hangs her red bag on her chair and grabbed a pile of newspapers that was in front of her.

"Let us help you with all of this Owl." Adam offered as he grabbed a pile of magazines that was in front of him while Bull and Bunny nodded right behind him.

"Oh thank you very much, just stack all of this besides that pile over there because I haven't finished reading all of them yet," Owl said while pointing towards a pile of newspapers that was right beside the pile of plushy.
