After this they had no doubt that it was the General's son, Paul!

They went nearer and Omar asked if the ground was perfect for landing. Kishore said that it should be because Paul had landed here earlier. Omar asked why there was no plane there. Kishore couldn't reply.

Omar could see the ground and decided to land. The person on the mountain had stopped moving as he saw the plane had been coming towards him. The plane landed successfully finally. Omar ran the plane towards the person and stopped.

The four get out of the plane and went to the person. They asked him if he was Paul. He said yes and asked how they had recognized him. Kishore told him that his father thought he was missing and so he hired 3 spies to find him out.

Paul was very weak. Omar asked him to have some water. But surprisingly he asked for food. They were very surprised to see him alive and again became surprised to see him asking for food not for water. Kishor couldn't but ask him why he was asking so.

Paul replied that he had find out a fountain or something type lake inside the mountain and so he had no thirst. But he had lacks of food as Hurum had left him with nothing.

This time the four travelers thought of the plane. But before asking Paul said he would tell everything if they stay for a while. Omar said while they fly for the US, they would hear him. But he said that he would stay here.

Robin asked why. Paul said that Hurum would come here and he was sure. Musa asked how he was so sure. Paul replied that he and Hurum had found out the king's grave! And he had to come.

He was still weak and so Omar told them to take Paul inside the plane. They were in and Paul was served with food and water. He guided Omar to a shade so that the inside of the plane don't get warmer. Omar ran the plane and went in front of a cave.

By this time Paul stopped eating as he felt good. He was ready to tell his story.

Paul and Hurum flied from the Siowa to the mountain. Hurum knew the exact place and they had enough food to eat. So, they didn't stopped at any oasis. Suddenly Hurum went to him and asked to operate the plane. Paul became astonished as he knew he couldn't operate. Hurum said yes but said he wished to learn. And Paul also helped him to do.

When they landed it was mid day. They took rest and from that afternoon they started to look for the grave. They searched in the nearest area first. But didn't found anything. They returned and waited for the next day. They went out at the dawn and then went to another part of the mountain. Hurum went up to the mountain and Paul stayed. Suddenly he stepped down fast and told Paul that he had seen the grave. Then they two went there and saw two pillars in the grave. That was the mark.

They checked and saw that it was made of strong concrete and they couldn't break it without a drill machine. Hurum said that he was going to the plane to fetch some machine. They wanted to try with what they had. Paul also wanted to went back to the plane but Hurum said that he should stay near the grave.

Hurum went away. And suddenly Paul heard his plane was flying without him. He had no doubt that Hurum was in the plane who was flying away and dropped him here without water to be dead. Paul was depressed and rushed to the place where he landed the plane previously.

He saw some tins of food. They took them out of the plane. Luckily Hurum didn't take them in plane to be late. Paul thought to attempt to suicide. But then he thought that he should do this when he would get tremendous pain for food and water. He returned to the mountain and sat. Suddenly he saw some deer.

It hit upon him with the light of hope. There should have water as there are deer. Paul waited and followed the deer in silent. He saw the deer went in the mountain and he did so. Suddenly they saw him and ran away. But he went in and in and saw the lake! He got his life back and from then he decided to wait for Hurum.

After this Omar couldn't went back without taking Paul. So, he also decided to wait. Soon it turned out that the caravan they saw coming was Hurum's. After that Hurum's caravan arrived and he saw Paul to be alive. He was astonished but Paul and he both started acting.

Hurum could know about Omar and the 3 spies and wanted them to go without Paul. As he wanted to kill him and get every treasure all by himself. He threatened Omar but he also threatened him back. Omar had more power as he had guns and was Egyptian.

However, Hurum hid Paul and didn't let him to go to Omar. Then Omar and 3 spies decided to found him out. Hurum was digging the grave and near Paul was tied with a camel. Omar covered everyone with his gun and Robin freed Paul. After this everyone left Hurum as the local people feared to go near the ancient grave.

Hurum was alone but Omar made him to continue digging. Soon there was a hole to push the hand in. Hurum couldn't wait and then he pushed his hands. Suddenly he pulled it out and a scorpion had already stinged at him finger. His hands color changed as the poison spread with the blood. He was trembling with pain but there was no treatment with them. And after some time he died.

Paul carefully made a big hole on the grave but alas! There was nothing but a bangle and a necklace. There was no treasure. But Paul was not disappointed because being an archeologist he knew it can happen often.
