Chapter 13
Indiana Jones began to stir. His body ached all over. "How many times can a guy get knocked out in a day?" he asked aloud.
"You'd better be careful Indiana" Marcus answered. "You've been getting very lucky so far. One of these times,God forbid, you're luck will run out."
Indiana slowly stood up."I fell through a hidden hole. The sand must have been hard enough to conceal it. Despite how mobile this suit is, it still isn't easy to see everything."
"Excuses, excuses…" Dad muttered.
Indiana looked around him. He had taken quite a fall. It was very dark. He noticed that his flashlight had gone off. He turned it on, and was blown away.
"I'm… I'm in a… giant stone hall. The… the pillars are at least 100 feet tall. I guess I fell down the stairway."
He continued to move around. He approached the pillars. He touched them carefully, then examined.
"No markings that look like any actual written messages. Just designs on the pillars."
"Material?" Sallah asked.
"Martian rock. Don't worry Sallah,I'm bound to find some kind of other rock here."
Indiana continued to look around. The hall was massive in the other direction. An exit was nearby. As Indiana began to head towards it, he didn't notice another loose pile of sand. He stepped on it, and as soon as he felt the ground go down, he knew he was in for trouble.
The entire area began to rumble, and soon giant boulders began to roll from hidden areas on the ceiling. The exit was soon covered with boulders, and Indiana was forced to make a retreat back to the other side of the hall. Moments later the rumbling stopped, and as the smoke cleared, Indiana saw that he was stuck, about 100 meters away from the exit, with massive boulders covering his path.
"Oh, great."
"Are the pillars still intact?" Dad asked.
"Uhh… yeah…"
"Well, I guess that's the important thing."
"Thanks, Dad."
