## Summary

Sammie takes a running jump from the top of the building and manages to grab onto the top of the ladder. Angelina grabs her wrists and pulls her up. Angelina climbs down the ladder and jumps off the truck. Sammie tries to do the same, but the firetruck begins to fall into the sinkhole. Angelina grabs onto the ledge of solid ground as the firetruck falls into the sinkhole with Sammie still on it.

In the sinkhole, Bjorn manifests his wings and pulls himself to the side of the sinkhole, still holding onto the unconscious woman from the second floor of the bank. He manages to get out of the way just as the firetruck and Sammie, fall past him. The firetruck begins to turn in the air and Sammie is crushed under it as it his the bottom. She is submerged into the goo, pinned under the truck and unable to breathe.

Henry, who managed to jump onto solid ground early, assesses the scene from above. He can't see the bottom of the pit but saw Sammie fall with the truck. Henry is about to jump into the sinkhole when Angelina stops him, asking what his plan is. Henry says he doesn't know what to do but they can't leave them down there. Angelina says they need a distraction and her eyes flash golden. Suddenly, a water main breaks nearby and sprays into the air. She then shoves Henry into the sinkhole.

Pinned under the firetruck, Sammie uses magic to make herself stronger and push the firetruck off her. She frees herself and is able to swim to the surface of the goo that covers the ground and takes a huge breath of air. She pulls herself up onto the slowly sinking fire truck as its the only solid surface at the bottom of the sinkhole. She notices one of the small crystal worms approaching her and gets ready to defend herself. Bjorn sees that Sammie has surfaced from the goo, so he flies the victim up to solid ground. He puts her down and begins to tend to her injuries.

Henry flies down to the bottom of the sinkhole to grab Sammie from off the firetruck. Sammie hits the small worm approaching her with a blast of magical energy and it shrieks before wrapping around her ankle and beginning to bite her with its sharp teeth. Henry lands on the truck and it rapidly begins to sink. Another worm shoots out of the goo and wraps around Henry's leg. Sammie tries to free herself from the worm that's still attached to her but it quickly pulls her into the goo.

Henry manages to free himself from the worm wrapped around his leg and jumps into the air and stays there, out of its reach, with his wings. Bjorn dives back down into the hole and sees Henry has freed himself, but Sammie is still under the surface of the goo. Bjorn dives down to try and grab her, but a worm jumps out of the goo and wraps itself around Bjorn's arm. Bjorn hits the surface of the goo. Henry flies down next, using his sword to keep the worms away from him, and manages to grab Sammie underneath the surface. He pulls her out but she is unconscious. He quickly flies her back up to solid ground.

Bjorn, with a worm still attached to his arm, tries to rend the creature with his claws, but the worm doesn't seem effected. It pulls Bjorn under the surface of the goo. Bjorn uses his wings to push himself out of the goo and back into the air. He uses his other hand to rip the worm off him and throw it back into the goo. He feels the worm pull off one of his scales but is otherwise okay. He then flies back up to solid ground to find Henry crouched beside Sammie. Bjorn and Henry both realize that Sammie isn't breathing. Bjorn quickly starts to perform CPR. Shortly after starting chest compressions, Sammie starts to expel the goo in her lungs and can breathe again.

Bjorn looks around, trying to assess the situation. He knows there have to be witnesses that saw them fly in and out but he knows there's nothing he can do about it. He comments to Henry about the mess they've found themselves in this time. Bjorn picks up Sammie and they both start to leave the scene. They see Angelina beside the husband of the woman that Bjorn had fallen into the sinkhole with. She puts her hand on his shoulder and seems to mind wipe him as the man goes completely limp. She notices Bjorn and Henry watch her do this and gives them a small wave.
