Explanation... Explosions
Slowly Yomiko dragged her feet, it was too hot and they still had about five miles left till they reach the INN where they were suppose to stay.
Drake was fumbling with the wires of the satellite phone while Nancy carried the main case on her back.
When Drake connected a wire and it sparked, the phone came to life.
"Finally," Exhale Nancy as she stopped to let Drake connect the phone to the main base.
Soon connection was established.
"Hello, Drake Anderson reporting over."
Yomiko hurriedly caught up to the two who had fixed their communication.
"Is he answering?" asked Yomiko trying to see the screen that was blocked by the two taller figures.
Soon Jokers face appeared in the screen.
"Hello, This is Joker what happen we lost sight of you're chopper. Over"
"Yes" exclaimed Nancy.
"We got attacked by an Unknown source we had to evacuate the plane before it blew. Would you mind telling us who is after this?" Nancy asked annoyed that they didn't get all the detailed at once of the mission.
"Well yes," Joker coughed and ran his fingers trough his hair.
"Fine, you sit this can take a while."
All three figures sat on the hot sand; they wanted to know what they were going to go up against. Yomiko open her case and made a huge umbrella and sat next to Nancy.
"In the late 1930's a rumors arise that in a late excavation of the tombs in Cairo, there a map was found it was written in the Egyptian hieroglyphics, that scientist where baffle by the length it was. The map was found in three separated sections, together each would tell: Time, Location, and the magic words.
But what baffled scientist after it was translated, was that it was written in riddles. So scientist and explores gave up the idea that it would lead to any treasure. Until later in the late 1970's a book was found by some amateur explorer. It was written in the same Egyptian language but it held the same riddles and if not a couple dozen more. It was said the book was part of the map. That the book held warning and consequences on the thing that was hidden. Scientist Rene Kido, who was respectable Russian - Japanese doctor. He was able to translate the title of the three section of the map, also the title of the book and was able to figure out what was hidden.
Hence we know that each section would tell time location and so on. The Title of the book was called Dark Sun; the Doctor suspected that even the title was a riddle. Soon afterwards he died of a blood clot in the brain.
Ever since each piece of historic piece was held separated places. The piece of the map where spread trough out the continents from America, Europe and Japan. Just recently all three pieces were stolen at exactly the same time. So we believe there is more than one being involved.
The Book is in Egypt it was believe that it was best to leave it there and so it has been taken care by the family line of the Bajars. We have send them a warning of the incident and they are waiting for you're arrival. The fact that you just got shot down and now I had to tell you all of this, time is being wasted, hurry and get to the city. Look for the NGL building."
Joker exhaled as he sat back in his chair and once again ran his fingers trough his hair.
"What does NGL stand for?" Yomiko asked
"National guide library" Jokers replied.
"Oh" all three uttered.
"Now hurried and get the book, report when you get it. I will give more details"
"OK, out" Drake said as he shut the system down and place in the back pack.
"Ok who the hell do we get to the city quickly." asked Drake out loud.
"I know," Yomiko raised her hand.
"Not another plane Kiddo," Nancy slightly patted Yomiko's head and smile.
"No, no way I can do an airplane here, don't have enough papers." Yomiko smiled.
"Then what?" Drake his curiosity got the best of him.
Yomiko didn't have enough paper to do anything big so she used her papers and made three pairs of snow shoes or sand shoes.
Nancy looked at the long flat piece of paper.
"We have to run but with out these we'll just sink in the sand." Yomiko explained.
"Oh great" Drake muttered as he reluctantly put them on.
Sweating, coughing and panting all three figures reach the city.
Drake quickly discarded the atrocities he wore as shoes and started to walk faster to ward the city. The girls followed suit and quickly stared to look for the building.
"Should we separated?" asked Yomiko looking around, the sun was going to set in a couple of hours they shouldn't wasted time.
"I think we should," Drake agreed, they both looked at Nancy waiting to see if she approved.
Nancy looked at Yomiko the last thing she wanted was to let her go on her own, she just realized that she was becoming to over protective of the naive girl.
"Nancy, we got to decide now?" Yomiko urged snapping Nancy out of her trance.
"But if something happen we should call each other and if we can't... blow something up" Nancy smirked.
"I can live with that," Drake agreed.
"Let's meet back here after the sun goes down." Yomiko said as she took off.
Drake and Nancy soon went their own separated ways.
DRAKE TIME 1730 LOCATION MARKET ROADS.
Drake quickly glanced around seeing he had stumbled on to the main plaza where all the people were buying, trading and selling their products.
He glanced around and started to ask if anyone knew where the NGL building was, he was either ignored or they didn't know English or Japanese.
"Damn,' Drake muttered as he walked around, he the spotted some one selling moped and dirt bikes.
"Do you really sell those here?" Drake asked the tanned man who turn to see the foreigner he adjusted his head ban.
"Ah are you American?" the man asked as he notice Drake was a blond.
"Yeah, well good you speak English."
"Yes, if I want to sell or rent to the tourist."
Drake had to pay careful attention to the man his English was horrible but it may turn out to be helpful.
"Would you like to buy one? Good price I asked only for 3 hundredth American dollars" the man smiled.
Drake winced when he saw the man had two missing teeth.
They needed transportation and a getting another chopper form the headquarters would be impossible.
"Ok, here let me make a deal" Drake said the man listen intently.
"I need three of the moped bikes you have no crap that going to leave me behind, I see you have some Yamaha which seems to be the only good brand you have, I'll also take three extra gasoline tank, those three gallons one you have will do." said Drake as pointed to the thing he wanted.
"How much?" asked Drake.
"2000 American dollars."
"Hell no, I'll give you $700"
"A thousand"
"Crap, $800 and all of the bike better have helmets."
Time passed quickly as neither man wanted to give in.
Right when Drake was about to make another offer a loud explosion startled everyone around and followed by it a huge fire ball leapt onto the sky and dissipated soon.
"Fine 950, get those bikes hidden and I will be back understood?" Drake shouted as he took off only to turn around to see the man nod stupidly.

MISS DEEP TIME 1735 LOCATION HOTELS AND INN
Nancy just ran stupidly, she didn't really know where she was going, all she could think off was Yomiko, was she alright, can she fight if thing got way out of control.
'Stupid' she though, 'Yomiko fought against the Ijin that should be tough enough' Nancy though as she realized she was standing next to a tall building, she looked up to see bright light blinking:
SAHARA HEAVEN
"What so great about a heaven in a desert" Nancy said out loud.
She walked inside the building only to get lots of eyes to look her way.
'I should really change my out fit to something else' Nancy rolled her eyes as she knew everyone was staring at her cleavage.
She reached the front desk, and smiled seductively at the young clerk.
The young man coughed as he turned red and started at Nancy's chest.
Nancy wiggled her finger by her chest pointing upwards getting the man to look at her in the eyes.
"Hi, I was wondering if you could help me?" Nancy winked and smiled sheepishly.
"Uh...of course" the young man coughed, sweat started to run down the side of his face.
"You see I'm looking for a place, the NGL building and I'm new here so I don't have a clue." Nancy pouted and then winked.
The young man coughed and pulled at his shirt, he was so nervous and he was starting to feel so hot that he couldn't really speak.
"Oh, don't be shy, you got to help me find the place you can, can you?" Nancy ran finger up the side of the boys face. Cause she had reduce him to just that, a boy.
"I-uh...NGL...r-r-right, right um I-I-I only heard o-o-f the of the place." The boy stuttered uncontrollably.
"Do you have any idea where it may be?" Nancy said she went back to her original posture and had stopped flirting.
She looked at her watch she had wasted twenty minute with this guy and apparently he didn't know squat.
"I think it's located in the residential, it's behind the plaza it's not a large building, its small a house that's kindad old."
Nancy nodded and winked and she walked out again.
She looked at the sky; the sun was going to set in an hour or so.
"Where the hell is the residential area?" Nancy asked out loud.
A woman passing by heard her, 'Oh well that going all the way straight and then when you reach a little inn go left and you'll be in the area."
"Oh, thanks" Nancy smiled and ran off.
As she was reaching the Inn she heard and the saw the huge fire ball.
"YOMIKO" Her mind shouted.
