Ignoring the bright light, you plod on behind the others, thinking to yourself, “Must be a shaft of light from outside.” After all, the lions have the map and know where they’re going. You follow the tunnel for another half a mile and come to an impassible dead end. It looks like there had been a cave-in at this end of the cave. There’s no way through the solid wall no matter how hard you look. The lions, certain that the Lost City of Diamonds is behind that wall, decide to return another day with a load of dynamite. The entire expedition team turns around and goes back. When you reach the outside, the lions are kind enough to give you and Kit a lift to Point Blanc. You call your boss from the General Store telephone. After you have told her the truth about your adventures, wisely omitting the failed journey to find the Lost City of Diamonds, she offers - with minimal screaming - to send Wildcat to rescue you and the cargo. Purchasing two Orange Fizzies, you and Kit relax in the General Store until the mechanic meets up with you. The End |
