Welcome back everyone it's time for chapter 2! Sorry it took a while but I needed some inspiration. Well your basic disclaimer stuff. Jackie Chan's not mine etc. etc. Okay get ready for the continuation of Cave in.

"Aiiiiiiiiiiiya! Why is Jackie stuck in a cave?" Uncle asked.

"The cave collapsed Uncle." Jade explained patiently "He is stuck in there with Valmont. I would have called Captain Black but, for the use of the Dark Hand's cell phone I said I wouldn't." While saying this Jade glanced over at the henchmen sitting in the corner moping.

"Uncle is on his way." He said with an abrupt buzzing noise after he had hung up the phone.

Jackie felt as if time had slowed down as he was dashing to the cave entrance. Running next to him just as fast was Valmont diving for the space left for a split-second. Slumping against the rocks Jackie sighed.

"We have no chance of getting out of here if all we depend are my henchmen." Valmont huffed out panting from lack of breath.

"There is Jade." Jackie said. "Perhaps she will call Captain Black." He got back up and walked to the rear of the cave. Checking the spot where the writing had once been the wall had disappeared. Glancing over his shoulder once he shrugged and entered into the doorway. Beyond he could see nothing but blackness. Valmont came up beside him and grabbing a torch from a wall sconce, he lit it with a quick flash from a lighter. They walked into the hole beyond with measured steps, checking around them cautiously. All of a sudden a huge wave of bats came flying at the pair.

"AAAAAAAAAH," screamed Valmont. Jackie ducked his head waving the torch he had grabbed before Valmont dropped it.

The wave of bats receded and Jackie said, "Hmmm the mastermind criminal syndicate leader is afraid of bats." Valmont glared at Jackie for a moment before grabbing the torch and continuing on. Before too much longer, the cave opened up into a wide chamber where the walls were plastered in gold. Both the men gazed at the richness in wonder. Then at the same moment they both spotted a book lying upon a stand. The stand was shaped like an angel with wings outspread. Within the cradle of its open palms lay the manuscript. Jackie quoting what information he knew said, "The book of the Shimowazi is fabled to contain the secret of eternal life. The Shimowazi treasured it for many years before realizing the power it contained might fall into dangerous hands." Jackie gazed at the book in wonder.

"Dangerous hands like mine Chan," Valmont stated with a greedy smile. "And that book is all mine." Valmont reached out his hands to grasp the book and pull it from the stand.

Will Jackie allow Valmont to take the book? Will Uncle make it to Jackie in time? Find out next in CHAPTER 3!
