Upon recovering from a fall into a pit of spikes, the ninja and Clutch come across the skeletal remains of Clutch's former competitor, Hageman.

Clutch snatched and opened the book, saying that he did not reach chapter nine, the chapter on cobweb traps. He then carelessly threw it at the skeleton, causing it to fall apart. Jay picked up the book as they passed.
