They infiltrated a warehouse much later to track down the Piece of Eden. Finding a dungeon underneath the warehouse, Stoddard was forced to free a young girl named [[Dorothy Osborne]] and a mute boy, with the latter's promise to lead the way to the artifact's location. Unconvinced, Tom threatened Dorothy as he pushed the mute boy away. Jennifer and Dorothy eventually managed to calm him down. However, Dorothy suddenly fainted and recited Tom's father's last words from Dante's ''The Divine Comedy''.
