stack of TNT toward the living room and called out for his friends.
    â€œSteve!” Lucy called out.
    Max and Henry entered the living room and the group let out a cheer. They were reunited with their friend.
    Steve ended the celebratory reunion when he asked, “Did you know the griefer built a tunnel behind the TNT?”
    â€œNo,” Adam was shocked and walked into the bedroom.
    The others followed him. As they stood by the TNT, they carefully inspected the large hole the griefer had dug.
    â€œWhen did he build this?” asked Max.
    â€œWe never left the house. Maybe he did it while we were sleeping,” said Adam.
    â€œHe’s very tricky,” Kyra said. “I never heard him while we were sleeping.”
    â€œThere is no doubt that he’s tricky. Look at how much he’s done to us,” said Lucy.
    Adam looked at the TNT and began counting the blocks.
    â€œWhat’s the matter, Adam?” asked Steve.
    â€œI think some of the TNT is missing.”
    Lucy looked at the stack of TNT. “You’re right. A few blocks are missing.”
    â€œI wonder what he’s going to do with it?” asked Kyra.
    Boom! The sound of an explosion was heard in the distance. The group sprinted outside to see what the griefer had destroyed.

    THE GRIEFER
    â€œ N o!” Steve looked at his ruined wheat farm. Thomas had blown it up again.
    â€œAfter all that work trying to get seeds,” said Kyra.
    â€œAt least now people won’t think I’m the griefer,” said Steve. “Why would I destroy my own property twice?”
    â€œI wouldn’t be so sure,” said Adam. “The villagers might think you’re playing a trick.”
    Steve knew Adam was right and wanted to clear his name. He had to find Thomas. There was no other option.
    â€œWe need to trap Thomas,” Steve told them. “I have to clear my name.”
    Steve and the group sprinted back to the house. They didn’t want Thomas getting his hands on any more TNT.
    As they entered the house, they could hear a noise in the bedroom.
    â€œIt’s Thomas!” said Adam. “Let’s catch him.”
    But they weren’t quick enough. Thomas made his escape by jumping down the hole.
    â€œDon’t follow him!” Steve told them. “It’s better if we make our plan here. If we go down to the tunnel, Thomas has the advantage because he knows all of the hiding places.”
    â€œHe can trap us down there,” added Henry. “He did it before.”
    Deciding on a plan wasn’t easy. Everyone had their own opinion.
    â€œI think we should hide the TNT all over Adam’s house and we’ll trap Thomas as he searches for it,” said Kyra.
    â€œI think we shouldn’t sleep because Thomas seems to work at night,” suggested Max.
    But when Adam spoke, Steve and the gang stopped talking and listened. “I think we should use the potion of weakness and have him confess. I know you all want Thomas to pay for his crimes, but Thomas is one of my best friends and there has to be a reason for all of this trouble.”
    â€œAdam, you’re right,” said Steve. “We have to talk to Thomas. Also he’s hiding my diamond sword and I want him to tell me where it is. And I want him to clear my name.”
    The group sat and discussed a plan of action. “Maybe we can take all of our ideas and come up with a master plan,” said Steve.
    â€œYes,” Lucy agreed, “I think we have to act fast though. I don’t like that the villagers are calling you a griefer. I know they can’t attack us, but I bet other people might come here and try to seek revenge.”
    Steve and the gang decided to dig holes throughout the house. Adam brewed as many potions as he could with his resources. Lucy hunted for food, since the group needed to feast so their food bars would be full. They were going into battle against Thomas and they needed to
