Lunch went off fairly well with the Big P not around. Priyanka guessed he was on one of his 'im not eating till there's order around here' moods which had been happening a lot since the time Gaurav joined. Honestly that boy was going to get into SERIOUS trouble one of these days. "Wanna get sarted right now?" was Arundati. "No....I think we should just look around for now. I mean just get into the mood of things" was Priyanka's advise. Gaurav nodded. He had been wanting to take a look at that skeleton. But what about the equipment? He'd have to come back later that night. Priyanka and Arun had aldready left. "Hey Arun. Tell Priyanka we'll meet at around six in this room". Arundati nodded.
Guess he'd better leave. HE felt drawn to that spot where they'd left the skeleton. Hmmm....There was no crime in going back. He knelt down next to te bush. Dug out the skeleton. He whistled. "What was that in the skeletons hand? It was shining." He put out his hand and cleared out the dust on whatever it was. It glistened in the sun. Suddenly, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!" Arun's voice made him jump.

Melito tried to open her eyes. A blinding flash of light. She tried to get up. "Aah!" her foot hurt. SHe could hear gruff voices. They were nearly yelling at each other. She could hear a baby.....a baby crying and very faintly she could hear the soft soothing voice. His voice. SHe tried to call out to him but her throat was hoarse. She needed water. Suddenly the voices began to scream and there was a splash followed by the yell of a woman and splashing in the water.
