Jack was driving the car with the kids.
Looking at Josh, Zachary, Hannah, and Lily, Drake was frustrated. He lied to Bettany about bringing them to the library. He could not tell Jack to go to a mental health hospital as requested by Lily.
"You are not bringing them to the library, aren't you?" asked Jack.
"How did you know?" asked Drake.
Jack took a look in the rear mirror. "I'm just guessing." There was no way Hannah would go to a library. Drake smiled.
"Just tell me where you are going, and I will bring you there," said Jack.
"We will go to the hospital first, then the haunted road if we still have time," said Josh.
Lily nodded excitedly. She was counting the imaginary money she would get from selling talismans at the haunted places. Josh was happy to see Lily excited over this.
Meanwhile, Hannah was happy that she got out of homework and tuition. Zachary looked out of the window in concern. He remembered the hospital was called Bedlam Asylum, and it was haunted. There was a street near the hospital with plenty of shops.
The car arrived at Bedlam Asylum. Jack parked the car. He was about to follow the kids when Drake stopped him. "Jack, you can wait here," Drake said.
"Oh? You don't need my help?" asked Jack.
"No. You may go and have a coffee. On me," said Drake.
They finally arrived at the entrance of Bedlam Asylum. "No one is here!" said Lily. She was surprised that the entrance was so quiet, completely different from the noisy street.
Lily quickly set up a place in front of the entrance. She figured she could still sell the talisman to the ghosts. She placed two rocks over the cloth on the floor to keep it from flying away. Everyone else was confused.
"Lily, what are you doing?" asked Josh.
"Are you setting up a stall? What are we selling? I'll help you!" said Hannah excitedly.
Drake had a bad feeling about what was going to happen.
