A sealed tomb. A boy king. A candle flickering in the dark, and a curse that promised death to anyone who dared step inside. When the men who opened it started dying, the newspapers had their story: the pharaoh's revenge.

Cass has the spooky version ready to go. Pip has a simpler question: the man who actually opened the tomb and touched everything in it, when did the curse get him? Follow a mosquito bite and a pile of headlines to the trick for busting any curse: count the people it didn't happen to.
