| Wheeler and Linka ran for what seemed like hours. He ran in front of her and looked back repeatedly. She bouced behind him, and he sighed. Wheeler shook his head and tried to keep his mind on business. They stopped before a door marked "Plunder." They both stopped and bent over to catch their breath. Wheeler noticed something on the ground. A red liquid had seeped out from beneath the door. He looked at Linka. She saw it too. Wheeler pushed the open slowly. He had never seen a sight a gruesome in his life. Linka bent back over and threw up. Wheeler became ghostly white but still moved into the office. Plunder was in his chair when Wheeler came to him. An ivory tusk had been shoved down his throat and came out his chest. Plunder's eyes were squeezed shut. When Wheeler had seen enough he turned down his eyes and saw Plunder's wrists and ankles. A thin wire had been used to tie him to his chair. Plunder had struggled and the wire had torn threw his flesh. Again Wheeler turned away and saw a pile of white and red stones. Wheeler stepped closer and saw what they were. Plunder's teeth. A small, bloodied, rusty wrench lay in front of them, along with the word "Ivory" written in blood. Part 3 |
