that seek me out. I am able to show them the way to the other side.”
Helen looked confused and said, “what has all this bullshit have to do with my kidnapping?”
Tony again smiles. “I need your expertise professor Shireberg. I have a small task that I would like you to solve for me.”
It was Helen’s turn to laugh. “Really now! And what may that be?”
Before he could answer her question, a young man walks in serving them dinner and a bottle of red wine.
“Let us eat first and after I will show you something very extraordinary.”
Tony then looks over at the young man. “Thank you, Travis. I will call you if I need any further assistance.”
Over at the Miami headquarters, Jason and Danny entered Chief Berks office. They expected the usual hassle from their superior. Jason was ready for it, but Danny kept one step behind. Jason produced the full report on Matt’s desk. Surprisingly, Matt didn’t say a word. He asked them to leave while he took his time reading the report.
Jason went to pour himself a strong cup of coffee, when his cell phone rings. He answered to the Sergeant in charge of the Mexican police.
“Agent Mallock, this is Sergeant Guero from the Mexican Police force. I believe we have news about the missing archaeologist professor Shireberg.”
Jason puts down his cup of coffee.
“You know where she is you mean?” asked Jason.
Sergeant Guero continues. “Well, not exactly agent Mallock. Eyewitnesses saw a woman being forced into a small aircraft by a well-built man of Mexican origin. That very aircraft was later reported to be seen over the Mexican border heading to the United States. Professor Shireberg is no longer in Mexico.”
Jason thanked the Sergeant and then explained to Danny about the phone call.
They finished dinner, and Helen again urged Tony for an explanation to why she was kidnapped. Tony then stood up, ready to leave the table.
“Please Miss Shireberg, follow me.”
They left the dining area, and Tony opened the door leading to the basement. He led the way down the wooden stairs, with Carlos at the rear. They then entered a room filled with old objects of the past, dating back to the beginning of the century and even to the early Aztec and Indian tribes. He had in his possession Mosaic masks, knives and pottery, even real human skulls. The collection was huge and went on forever. Helen was amazed at the collection and age of the items.
She asked, “how have you managed to collect these things? They should be inside some museum on show for the public to see, not locked down in a basement.
Tony explained to Helen. “I cannot tell you how I came to acquire all these possessions, but believe me, I have been searching many years for something that finally has come to me out of sheer luck. You may have noticed that most of the items in this room have to do with the summoning of the spirits. What I have acquired holds the key to enter the spirit realm, not just mentally, but also physically. There is one problem though.”
“And what may that be?” asked Helen.
Tony looks at Carlos, who then takes a stand behind her.
Tony responded, “it needs to be deciphered. The hieroglyphs are not like any I have seen before. That’s where you come in, Miss Shireberg. I need you to translate an ancient tablet.”
Helen looks curiously at Tony. “What tablet?” She asked.
He then walks over to a locked cabinet and takes out the stolen item. As Tony unfolds the cloth that is wrapped around the ancient object, Helen immediately recognizes the same piece which had been taken from the underground cavern.
Helen begins to have gruesome flashbacks of her two colleagues that were found murdered at the camp site. Their throats slit. Blood soaked shirts dripping on the floor. Tears start to swell in her eyes. She instantly makes a run for Tony, only to be held back by Carlos, who was just a few feet from him. She lashed out with her hands in front of his face.
