The children headed to the basment were they can learn there new jobs at the library of records. As they went down the stairs further into the basment it started to get darker. Then they came to a door. When they opened it they noticed a person with small glasses at the desk. They went up to him and told him why they were hear. He said told them that he needed people to help him out in the library because he wasn't able to see very well. They were each asign a certain job that suited them perfectly.

When the children got to the hospital they realized only half of it was done. The left side had everything it needed but the right side didnt even have walls. The children and the other volenteers went inside. They all were carrying a yellow baloon with a happy face on it. Then over the intercom they heard a voice. They realized who it was. It was Count Olaf. The children knew that he knew where they were. They tried to volenteer for a job that would kept them hidden from Count Olaf. They worked in the library of records in the basment of the hospital

The other people in the van were other members of the group. They were all singing happy song and smiling, except for the three children. They decided not to tell them there real names just in case they read something about them. Then they found that these people did not read the newspaper. They went up to the driver and started talking to him. They were talking about what the members do and where were they going. They found out that they were going to a hospital. The children then waited on the long trip to the hospital.
