"Look, ladies, I think I have an idea.  Where is the Prince burial?",  Johnathan asked   "Really, that where you want us to take you.  Don't you know that the grave is protected by guards." said Rose   "Forget the guards, the traps are what we have to worry about.  I know how to get by the guards, with no problem." said Ana    "What? How?" asked Rose    

"Mom, you know I'm always wandering around.  That why the guards bring me to you all the time.  The guards really don't like me.  I run too fast, and when they do catch me, they're always too tired and embarrassed to report me, so they bring me to you." she explained  "My little girl, is very sneaky, that'll work.  So how do we get to the grave?" asked Rose their sit down to plan their adventure.  

Anna leads them to a tunnel under the Palace walls.   "There is a secret stairway that leads to all the royal graves.   Come to follow me, just be quiet and make sure if you pass any guards don't look at them.  If you don't look at them,  you won't call their attention." she said as she led the way.  they crawl through a small tunnel, then they appear in this wonderful underground palace.   "Wow, look at all these gold statues, there is gold everywhere," said Johnathan  amazed   "Just don't touch anything, each item contains a trap," explained Ana    

"Ana, what do you mean a trap?" asked her mother   "Follow me and stand back, watch," she said as she took a rock and threw it at a golden bucket which was filled with rubies and pearls.   The moment the rock touched the gold, twenty arrows came out of nowhere and landed near the gold.   "Now you see what I mean.  Don't touch, don't lend, stay as far as you can from the item we pass.  For everything you touch, there will be a trap to react.  Follow me." she said as they went deeper into the underground golden palace.

Meanwhile on the other side of the world, at the present time.   Christofer and his men didn't have any luck finding Johnathan.  Nelson and Tim went back to the ruins.  It was getting late, so Christofer took Tina back to the tent to wait.  If was dangerous at night.  The wind away created sandstorms.  Make the snakes of the desert active at night.  Although Tina didn't want to stop searching she had no chose in the matter.    Once Christofer dropped her off, he proceeded with the men in the search for her brother.

Nelson and Tim finally arrived at the ruins.   They rode the camels to the dig site.  Where the guards were on the lookout.  They quickly ran into the tent.  The trip wasn't pleasant, the wind was strong and the sand was hurting and burning their face.

Nelson grabbed something to drink, while Tim started a small fire in a large pot.  The men ate and rested for an hour.  Then they headed back out to search for Frank and Hector.  Now the wind is much stronger as it pushes them back with force.  They finally made it to the dig site.  The sand had covered much of the holes.  Then after a while, they stopped at the cave.  "Hey, Nelson looked over there," said Tim as he pointed to the cave further up the path.  

"A cave, that's one place, if the men are still out there, they must find shelter", said Nelson as they began to walk towards the cave.   "Look, to be honest, I think these two men found gold and took off.  I'm sorry sir, but really.  Think about it?" said Tim as they were about to enter the cave.  "You think?  I don't know, Hector he always been a good honest man, but Frank.  I don't know, let's see if we find them first before hanging them." said Nelson as they entered the cave.  

As they went deeper into the cave.  The only noise you can hear was the echo of the wind entering and exiting the cave.   This noise was creepy enough.  While walking, Tim placed his hand on the cave wall.  There was something slippery, which made his hand slide off,  and cause him to fall to the ground.   

"Hey, are you alright?",  asked Nelson as he went to help him get up. Tim went to his knees and proceed to get himself up, not realizing the large spot of blood on the ground beneath him.   He looks at Nelson as he handed out his hand to help him.   He grabbed Nelson's hand, then as he got up on one knee, but before he was able to get up he slipped on the ground he went again.  "Wait, let me be, I'll get myself up," he said as he again tries to get off the ground, this time successfully accomplishing it.   

Meanwhile, Nelson stood there just laughing his butt off.   "By the way, that wasn't funny," said Tim as he began to dust his clothes off.  When he noticed the blood stained on his pants.    "What the hell, I just bought these stupid pants, look at this shit," he said while he tried to wipe it off with a cloth.  "Wait, let me see that cloth," said Nelson   Tim handed him the bloody cloth, realizing at the moment that it was blood.  

"All shit, that's blood.  Isn't it?" asked Tim who now really wanted to leave the cave.  "Let's get out of here. I'll put this cloth in this plastic bag for now when we get back to the tent, I analyze it to see if it's human blood.  Let's hope that is animal blood," said Nelson as he quickly headed to the exit, with Tim right behind him.

They headed back to the tent, the winds blew so strong that they barely made it back.  They sat there, with their minds wondering. What's going on?  

Nelson quickly took out his chemicals and started to work on the blood sample.  He placed the sample on an analyzing machine.  "This won't be ready for twenty-four hours.  It's too late to head back now.  We can stay here overnight.  We can head back at five in the morning.  Hopefully, by then, Johnathan has been found." said Nelson as he and Tim, ate, drank, then went to sleep.

Now, Tina, we go nuts.  Walking back and forth, not knowing what to do.  As it got later, she realized that something was seriously wrong.  Her brother had to be in some kind of trouble.  It was too late, and Tina knew her father was coming back in that sandstorm.  She fixed herself something to eat and drink.  She then went to bed.  She had trouble falling asleep, but after a while, she passed out.

Christofer and the other men searched until three in the morning.  Once the weather got unbearable, they headed back to town.   Each man went their own way. They need food and sleep for tomorrow was another long day of searching.  Christofer went into Nelson family Tent. He saw that Tina was sleep.  He knew that Nelson was trapped at the dig site.  He had to make sure nothing happens to the child that Nelson had left. For he believed that Johnathan will never be found. He didn't want to wake her, so he quietly laid on Nelson's bed and fell asleep.
