But that time Omar went to him and pulled him back roughly. Everyone got amazed why Omar was behaving like this.

This time they could see a snake under the leaves. Robin knows the snake well and there was no doubt about it by seeing the horn on its head. It was poisonous. Omar told Robin to be more careful and if he hadn't seen, they would lose a member from the team within next 10 minutes.

Kishore asked why the snake was there. Omar replied that the snake were maybe looking for a shade and here he got it. Everyone was silent and Omar said again with desert's experience. He said that sometimes the gypsy call the snake in a place and they know how to make them to stay there. They do it for purpose.

Three pairs of eyes turned back to him instantly. Musa asked why someone would do so for them because they had not cause harm to anyone and just arrived here that morning. Kishore said that there was just one answer. The person who had done this could understand their purpose. And so he tried to stop them and make them return.

Omar asked if they were returning. The 3 spies told that question doesn't arise to go. They were determined to figure out everything until the food was finished. Luckily they had still half of the foods in the plane and fuel too. By this they could fly two more times in the mountain and stay 3 days more.

They took the plane in the shade of date tree and went in. They decided to stay inside the plane. They tried to save food as much as they could. They took rest and waited for the next dawn to fly. They had to fly only in that hour because it was coolest and had sunlight. The weather gets hot and it makes the plane to shake. Moreover there are more possibilities of sand storm in the hot day time.

They went to sleep early as they had to wake up early.

Robin heard something or for maybe the cold weather he woke up. He saw Omar had already woke up and was making tea. He was making noise by the way. After a while Kishore and Musa woke up and they all got prepared to fly.

When they started taking off, it was false dawn then. Today they have a certain direction to go. They flew for about 45 minutes and saw the mountain. Suddenly Kishore said that he saw people and camel in the horizon. Omar smiled and said that is optical illusion. This often happens in the desert. He said that they are actually in the opposite side of the mountain.

Kishore was keen to see the caravan and asked Omar to fly in that direction. Omar had no reason to disagree and so he did. He also decided to search the mountain form that side.

Robin took the binocular and looked at the caravan. He said that there are six camels but 5 people. One camel was carrying goods. Omar asked if there was any white among them. He said that he couldn't recognize because all of them had wore clothes and covered the full body. Omar smiled and said that the Tuaregs do the same.

Robin asked him where the caravan was going. Omar said most probably they are also heading towards the mountain. He again said that there was no oasis and it was dangerous to go as they could die not only for water but also for the sand storm and many other things.

Omar said that it indicated only one thing. They were taking so risk because they were expecting something profitable.

Robin again asked the caravan had surely understood that the plane was also heading to the mountain but why they still didn't speeding up. Omar said it's simple as they also knew that they could never be able to reach before the plane.

While the conversation was continuing, they came nearer to the mountain. Omar asked them to look outside and find something that was not sand and black stone. Everyone was keeping a sharp eye but there was nothing.

Suddenly Kishore shouted that he had seen smoke! Omar refused it saying it was his mistake, probably it was sand. But Kishore insisted on his words. Omar turned the plane towards it and after sometime he also admitted that it was smoke.

Robin saw someone moving near the smoke. He said that he had long hair and the clothes were not good. He also said that he couldn't understand if he is white. Kishore smiled and said if someone don't cut his hair it would be big. And one clothes, two months in this weather....they would not look so good too.
