Kishore, Robin and Musa planned to create a organization that would purchase the old time planes. They decided to repair them and then sell it as antique. The idea hit them when they visited a plane fair in the Rocky beach. They three were not enough and so they needed someone else who had a great knowledge in planes.
And to suggest the first name for this, both of them agreed to their Omar brother. He was a skilled pilot and had good connection with them. So, without any delay then sat and made the plans. Their work was going well and one day they were called from the famous director Mr. David Cristopher's office.
He asked them to meet him as soon as possible including Omar. When they arrived they saw another man there. He introduced the two groups and 3 spies could know that the man was a General in the US army. He sought help from them.
It turned out that Mr. General's son had been missing for last two months. He told them his story. He wanted his son, Paul to be in Army as his forefather's had been so. His belief was that he would do so unless some incident didn't happen.
Once a pilot had to force land on his house yard. After that he stayed at his house. There he met Paul and after this he discussed about plane with him all the time. General said he talked as if there was nothing in the world except plain. And then Paul became curious of this. The pilot taught him about everything and soon he became a pilot.
One day Paul went to the General and told him that he wanted to be a professional pilot. His father offended him. But he didn't listened. Before his mother died, she had willed that his father never could force him to do anything. So, the situation got out of the General's control. But he didn't mind at that much.
General had an archeologist friend who lived in Germany. One day he came to US and decided to stay in General's house. This time Paul get attached with him. He was not a bad boy but his nature was to mix with people easily. General's friend also spend more time with his son than with him.
The archeologist always talked about his subject and the lost world. It attract Paul and then he decided to be an archeologist. He didn't listen to his father and went to Germany. He spent several weeks there and then returned. There was a man who came with him. He introduced him as an Egyptian archeologist and worked in that society. He said that his name was Hurum.
The General couldn't believe that man and he also told his son about it. But Paul was a good young boy and didn't suspect people. Soon he told his father that he along with Hurum wanted to go to the Sahara Desert to find treasure. He said that Hurum had told him there was a rich king in the ancient time and there are treasure inside his grave. Hurum knew where the place was.
But the General hardly trusted him and forbade his son to go. But Paul didn't listened to him this time too and so he flew his plane with Hurum to the Sahara. Paul said that he would send letters and would be in contact with his father. This continued for the first 2 weeks. But after this the General didn't get any letters from his son.
This made him in tension. He started seeking information of their journey. But there was no records of it. Then he went to the Egyptian archeologist society to get information about Hurum. But they said that they even hadn't heard this name. So, it soon turned out that the man Hurum was not good and a liar. Then one day he met Mr. David and he told that he would help him through the 3 spies. And so the General was there in the office.
Hearing this Kishore didn't deny to help. In fact, he was waiting for a case. But Omar said that he was not sure if his son was still alive. As there was only few places in Sahara where there was water. And without water he could live no longer.
But with the General's request they all took preparation for having a journey in the Sahara. Mr. General helped them in everything so that it could take no longer to go. Yet it took two days. They took a small plane but there was enough space inside. Moreover, they set a strong engine with it.
It was too hot in the desert. There was only sand everywhere. No tree, no life and nothing but the sand. Robin could not stand more time on the sun. So, he returned to the shelter they had made under a date tree. It has passed one hour they had landed in the desert.
Omar asked him about the outside environment. He told that it was not good at all. It was midday and this time the desert becomes the hottest. So, they decided to take rest and in the next dawn, they would fly to search for a plane, life or anything without sand.
They all agreed at this. The 3 spies are depending on Omar because he had much more experience about desert than them. In the next dawn the moon was still on the sky and the stars were too. Omar made tea for everyone. They decided to fly at this hour because now it was cool. If they wait for some time the weather would become hot again and they won't be able to fly.
They decided to remove all the cans and tins from the plane and make it as lite as possible. They brought 12 cans of fuel and food for a week. They took only half of them in the plane. They buried the cans near the tent and then put the date leaves on it as a mark. And they simply dropped the food tins in the tent as they were coming back soon.
It was false dawn then and Omar started the flight. He was having his eyes in the control panel and in the front side. He ordered Kishore, Robin and Musa to look around if they could see anything except sand. They flew 100 miles but there was nothing. Omar said that this was enough for today as there was nothing there. They would come there the following day too to check.
He was about to turn back the plane and that time Musa screamed! He said there was something like date tree in the horizon. Oman didn't believed him and said if there are some, they should be dead. But he drove the plane forward and soon he also admitted that they were date trees.
He got the energy and enthusiasm to go forward. And Musa proved again that his eyesight is better than the rest ones. He said that there is something in black color in the west. Robin took the binocular and confirmed that. The plane followed that way to reach there and search for Paul. It was a big mountain!
They started from one corner and visited one third of the mountain. There was nothing but sand and black stones. The mountain was also made of stones. There was no sign of life. Musa said if Paul was there, he had no chance to live.
Omar said that it was enough for the day and they had to return. He turned back the plane and Kishore screamed! There were some deer running near the mountain! But Omar didn't show interest as he thought he was there only for finding out Paul. And they returned so fast as the plane was shaking due to the hot air.
They landed and get out of the plane. They wanted to find out the big tent clothes to cover the plane. But where it was and where was their tent? There was ash in the place of their tent. The searched for foods. But the couldn't find any cans. Omar discovered some footprints there and they could be sure that someone came there and destroyed everything.
That time they thought about the fuel. They hid it and thought the destroyer hadn't found it. They went to the spot and saw the date leaves were fallen on it as they had dropped. Their hoped was being alive again. Robin went there to remove the leaves and take out the cans.
But that time Omar went to him and pulled him back roughly. Everyone got amazed why Omar was behaving like this.
