Buried Treasure

This is the twenty-fifth episode of Die Another Day: Echoes.

## Story

"Let's hope this plan works," John states.

"It will work. I just know it," Phillip replies.

"Speaking of Cecil, where is that guy?" Maggie asks.

"He's gone," Gerard answers, "But where did he go?" The bus carrying Ryder, Jasmine, and Rodney, along with several other kids, arrived at the Core.

"Welcome to the Core children. You will be sorted into families shortly," Lars states.

"This is so cool," Rodney states.

"Last one off the bus is a rotten egg," Jasmine states.

"Oh you twerp," Ryder replies as the three pretend kids ran outside and stepped into the Core.

"Follow me," Lars states as the kids walked behind Lars and were taken to the sorting house.

"This is where you will be sorted into your new families. We've got people here who would love to have a kid," Lars states.

"Good. I sure miss my old family," Ryder states.

"Yeah, but I bet we'll love our new parents," Rodney replies.

"I don't think those three are real kids," Emily states.

"How come?" Garrett asks.

"I just get that vibe," Emily answers.

"And now the sorting will begin," Lars states. Suddenly, Thomas Welch arrived.

"Welcome kids," Thomas states, "I know you're a little scared, but everything will go just right."

"I hope so," Jasmine replies.

"Little girl, what's your name?" Thomas asks.

"Jasmine," Jasmine answers.

"Jasmine huh?" Thomas replies, "I know someone with that name. Someone who is an adult."

"What do you mean?" Ryder asks.

"You three are not real kids," Thomas answers.

"How do you know?" Rodney asks.

"Because I sent you here," Thomas answers. Thomas then removes a rubber mask, revealing himself to actually be Cecil the whole time.

"Cecil, how could you?" Ryder asks.

"I led you right into a trap. I set up this whole plan to lure your friends here, so I can attack your base and take all your children while you're mostly defenseless," Cecil answers.

"So, you disguised yourself as Thomas?" Rodney asks.

"Bingo you fake boy. I disguised myself as this old man to further my plans. The real Thomas Welch is nothing more than a figurehead and a pathetic old man. It was I who killed Joe. And I faked my defection too so the group would take me in," Cecil answers.

"You're a monster," Jasmine states.

"I would take that as a compliment," Cecil replies. Cecil then shot Jasmine right in the head, killing her.

"JASMINE!" Ryder shouts.

"Kill them," Cecil states. The Core members then began firing at Ryder and Rodney, but all their shots missed. Ryder was able to shoot Lars right in the head, killing him. They then escaped the room.

"We have to find the real Thomas Welch," Ryder states.

"Exactly," Rodney replies. The two then slipped away.

**Back At The Resort**

"They've been gone for a very long time," Maggie states.

"Yeah," Terra replies, "We have to get them back."

"And find out what happened to Cecil," John replies back.

"OK. We'll send out a search party to find them," Gerard states.
