"I'm not so sure myself," says Harry. "There may not even be any goodies. It could be the baddies fighting the other baddies for all we know."

"And if that doesn't work, try the door," says Felicity. "You never know, it may have been left unlocked. Or maybe a key is hidden nearby."

"Possibly," says Benjamin. "We should ask him where the cave is. Where is he?"
