into the left side wall. They hit the wall right in the middle, expecting it to crack, but it didn’t even make a mark. The impact made a sound confirming the wall was thick and solid, impossible to break down. They took a five-minute rest and then tried the opposite wall of the entrance to the chamber. Jason and Danny hit it even harder than the other wall. This time the sound was hollow, even vibrating from the blow.
Jason said, “did you feel the difference? It sounded hollow. Let’s give it another try. Give it all you got Danny.”
Again, they lifted the heavy lid. Moving further back, they made a faster run, striking the wall dead in the center, hitting the weakest point. To their amazement, it did crack, it cracked a good twenty inches. With the lid still above their heads, muscles aching from the weight of the solid marble, Jason motioned for Danny to drop the lid breaking it into pieces large enough to hammer the wall with. They both picked up large chunks of marble and one after the other they struck the wall, making a large enough hole for them to look into.
Danny lay down his backpack and took out his flashlight, handing it to Jason who had already seen the inside of another room before Danny gave him the light.
He said, “I was right! It’s another room. Not so large as this one, and there seems to be some kind of wooden ladder or steps.”
It took them just half an hour to make a gap large enough for them to squeeze through. Once inside, they saw the ladder that Jason had described. The room had much more headroom than the chamber. The walls were made of some sort of prefabricated rock, very rough to the touch.
Jason said, “this must be an antechamber to the king’s own resting place. It was sealed up, making the way we entered from the jungle the only way inside the underground cavern, and that wooden ladder right there is our way out of here.”
He looked up at the ceiling where they saw a large stone hatch with two metal rings hanging from it.
“That’s the way out Danny! We made it! Now let’s get the hell out of here!” said Jason as he climbed the wooden ladder.
CHAPTER TEN
After making their way out of the underground cavern, Jason and Danny surprisingly found their way to the Mayan temples of Chichen Itza. From there, they contacted chief Berks on the kidnapping situation. They had no idea of the whereabouts of professor Helen Shireberg.
Chief Berks was furious and demanded a full report immediately once Jason and Danny returned to the States.
The local police were contacted and informed of what had happened at the newly discovered site. Jason and Danny were to be kept updated on any new leads that might spring up.
So the next day Jason and Danny took the next available flight home and were to report back to work on their arrival.
As for Helen, she soaked herself in a hot bath for a full hour before emerging from her unlocked room. She found Carlos waiting for her further down the hall. On seeing her, he immediately rose to his feet and escorted her down the stairs and into the dining room where Tony was waiting.
Tony said, “Miss Shireberg, please take a seat. Dinner will soon be served.”
Helen took a seat at the furthest end of the table, still curious to know why she had been kidnapped from Mexico, and been brought back to America. She stood up as anger built up inside her.
She said, “who the hell are you? I demand to know why you kidnapped me. I’m damn sure it wasn’t to invite me to dinner!”
Carlos came up from behind her, forcing her back down in her seat again.
Tony smiles and introduces himself.
