Once under, they are befriended by the paranormal being, Little Lizard, who has knowledge of both the Key and the missing child.

Much has happened since their last journey into the Underworld.
Guy is intent on gathering the proof that it was his father, GB, that murdered both his mother and grandfather to gain control of the Carter Foundation. GB has no idea that both the wills of his wife and his father have been changed, removing him completely. Or, that Garland has withdrawn his financial support from the Carter Foundation and formed the new Guy Carter Foundation.
Chinco warns Trey that BJ needs to perfect her telepathy, and other mental powers because she was going to be facing a supernatural battle requiring mental, not physical strength. And, she was going to have to face it on her own.
While on vacation, the twins receive a double portion of the power of the symbols. Each receives both Trey and BJ’s symbols branded on their hands.
Trey, BJ, and the twins encounter and befriend Sun Dancer, a miniature Native American Spirit from the tribe of the Little People. He joins their team when BJ is kidnapped and taken into the Underworld by GB. Her rescue goes smoothly. Only, GB escapes and kidnaps BJ a second time. He has her injected with an experimental drug never used on humans and it has no known antidote. It causes her to develop retrograde amnesia and aggressive behavior with any loud noise.
When Tray and Sun Dancer go into the Underworld, they encounter multiple boobytrapped caverns holding hostages, including the twins. They have to dismantle the explosives and release the hostages before they can go after BJ.
Trey decides the only safe way out of the caverns with BJ and the four kidnappers, is by the river. Once on the river, BJ, Sun Dancer, and the twins rescue a family of six after a boating accident. Their raft is greatly overloaded and they are fighting the current heading toward the Great Underground Falls.
The river supernaturally reverses direction and they are met by the rest of their team that has been downstream waiting to help with the prisoners.
Before they can make it safely out of the caverns, they encounter heavy paranormal opposition. First, the four kidnappers vanish and then BJ disappears.
Trey believes BJ is in one of the thousands of giant arachnid nests. With no way to find and free her before the eggs hatch and the feeding frenzy begins, Sun Dancer sends for help.
Queen P of the Hidden Ones and her two royal guards soon arrive. Trey had heard whispers of a third Underworld tribe called the Hidden Ones but had never seen them. They were magnificent warriors as dark as the shadows from which they emerged. Their only flaw was their eyes, they had none. Their eyelids were permanently sealed.
Would they be able to locate BJ alive and before she became the first meal of the newly hatched spiders?
And, where was the Ark of the Covenant?
