."Let's change the subject," he saidpleasantly."Seen any good movies lately?"The archaelogist reddened."Whose idea was it anyway to send you down hereinstead of a decently educated team?" she said through clenched teeth."Thenerve.The greatest archaeological find in history, and I've got nobody exceptan ignorant child, the oldest man in the world, and a buffoon in a T-shirt!""Look, lady.For what it's worth, this buffoon just saved your life.Which,from what I can see of your sparkling personality and charm, wasn't worth afart in a bottle to begin with."She rolled her eyes and made disdaining clucking noises with her mouth."If you weren't a woman, I'd smack you," Remo said, realizing that he wasshouting, but not caring."Go ahead," Lizzie shrilled."Prove what a male chauvinist hotshot you are.You men, with your little peckers, your little fists ""Your little red ass," Remo muttered, walking toward her.She screamed."Stop, stop," Chiun said, clapping his hands over his ears."This bickering isunbearable for one of my years.Shouting.Arguments.There can be no serenitywhere there is discord such as this.I must have tranquility in the twilightof my life." He smiled sweetly to Lizzie."Then go back to the old folks' home where you belong," she yelled.Chiun's jaw clamped shut."Remo, this woman," he whispered."Yeah, I know.She brings out the best in a guy, doesn't she?""Remo! Chiun!" Po shouted from the far corner of the temple.The corner waspiled high with fallen rock.The boy's head peered out from an opening betweenthem."Come here.Look.""This is no place for children's games," Lizzie said, passing Remo en route tothe boy."He might damage something.It's bad enough to have two grown-upfools in here, but a child."Remo followed her, step for step, speaking directly into her ear."I've hadjust about all the lipping off I'm going to hear out of you," he began."Iknow how to shut you up." He reached a hand toward her throat, then noticedthat Chiun had disappeared between the rocks.Po waited at the entrance,Page 39 ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlbeckoning.He entered into a narrow passageway between the rocks when Remoarrived."What is it?" Remo asked."This way," Chiun's voice echoed from within the rubble.The passageway through the rocks was low.Remo got on his hands and knees andfelt his way through the darkness."I'm not going in there," Lizzie called from outside the tunnel of fallenrock."Good," Remo said."But I'm alone out here," she shouted."What if those maniacs with the gunscome back?""Maybe they'll shoot you," Remo said."Death is just another way to get peaceand quiet."His heart sank as he heard the scuffle of hands and feet behind him."Watch.Now we'll all be trapped," Lizzie complained, her voice echoing around himlike a bad odor."Some rescuers.""Here it is," Po said in the darkness.Chiun answered, "Ah, yes."Remo's eyes adjusted automatically to the darkness in the tunnel.At the end,he saw Chiun and the boy standing in front of what looked like a refrigerator."What's this?" he asked, touching its surface as he rose to full height.Itcracked beneath his fingers.The object was oval, about five feet high, and metal.Metal that crushed oncontact.On its left side was a handle of some kind."I think it's a door,"Remo said.He reached for the handle, then jumped back in surprise when it wassuddenly bathed in a circle of light.The light jiggled.Remo whirled around."Flashlight," Lizzie said."Naturally, I'm the only one who remembered tobring one.""You are the only one with eyes so weak as to need one," Chiun said.Hebrushed Remo's hands away and opened the metal door.Remo, Lizzie, and the boyfollowed him into the chamber beyond.Inside, the flashlight's bobbing circle illuminated a strange sight.It was anaisle, made of linoleum, it seemed, only glossier, sturdier.The ceiling ofthe structure was rounded, as if they were standing in a long tube, and madeof the same material.Everything looked crisp and new except for the sides ofthe structure.Along the walls, for some reason not apparent to any of them,hung ghostly gray layers of thick, rotting cloth, as fragile as cobwebs.Remo squeezed past Lizzie back to the oval door and pushed on its rim with theheel of his hand [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
