Take the box
Both of them hated being in the circle, so they decided to hurry. Tommy’s fingers trembled as he reached for the box. His forehead was shivering.
Chris gently separated the fingers from the skeleton. Tommy then yanked away the box, echoing the sound of bones cracking in the ancient chamber.

The signs were confusing and they wanted to know what the contents of the box was.
