About five days. - replied Fatima. Since last Friday. Leila and Ahmed looked at one another. Where are you going now? Leila asked Fatima. Fatima told them that she was going to buy bread. Because of the heat in Cairo, bread does not stay fresh. In the morning, people buy bread for breakfast and lunch. Then they buy more fresh bread in the evening. Are those the keys of the house?asked Leila. The foreigner locks himself in his bedroom every evening between six and seven. - Fatima explained. It's the only time he gives me the keys to the house. What does he do in his bedroom every evening? - asked Ahmed. I don't know sshat he does in there. - replied Fatima. But sometimes I've heard voices. But there's no one in there but him. - Will you help us? - Leila asked Fatima. What's happenima? - asked Fatima. Who are you? I don't want to get into any trouble.' are police officers,' she explained again. You won't get into trouble if you help us. What do you want me to do? - asked Fatima. We don't want you to do anything. - replied Leila. She want to find out more about the people you work for. Let me take the bread back into the house. - Fatima was not happy about this suggestion. But finally she agreed. I'm worried about this. - said Ahmed. When Leila was ready to go into the house. It could be very dangerous. It's the easiest way of getting into the house. - said Leila. And we must make sure that it is Christine Farrow who is locked in that bedroom. What will you do if it is her? Ahmed asked. That's easy. - replied Leila. I'll open the front door and let you in. IMake sure you are waiting near the door with the two policemen. Leila turned to Fatima.
Now tell me again. - she said. Where is his bedroom and Where is the Bedroom with the woman in it? Fatima explained once again and Leila listened carefully. Good. - she said. I'll remember that easily. Leila walked up to the front door with the keys in her hand.
CHAPTER TEN
The Valley of Death.
It was just after five o'clock when Farrow told De Fries to stop the lorry. They were at the entrance to a narrow valley. e're here now. - said Farrow. 'The Queen's tomb is in this valley. How do you know? Keesing asked. Farrow pointed up at the mountain top to the east.
That looks like a snake doesn't it? - he asked. Keesing and De Fries looked up. The top of the mountain was about three hundred metres long. It ended with a great rock rising high in the sky. The
mountain top looked like a snake with its head raised. And that's a sitting man. - Farrow continued pointing to the mountain top to the west. Keesing and De Fries looked upwards towards the setting sun. In the middle of the mountain top there was a large rock. It looked like a man's head. Below the rock, a gully ran down the mountain side to the bottom of the valley. The mountain had the
shape of a sitting man. A snake with raised head and a sitting man
guard the tomb of Queen Axtarte. - said Farrow. Those words are written on the pillar from the temple of Karnak. And where's the tomb? said Keesing turning to Farrow. Farrow pointed to the gully that ran up the mountainside. Somewhere between the legs of the sitting man. - he told Keesing. That's all I know. You'll have to go and look for it. They climbed back into the lorry and De Fries drove down the valley to the bottom of the gully. You know that it can take a long time to get inside a tomb. said Farrow. - Why is that?' asked Keesing. The Ancient Egyptians always made secret
entrances to the tombs replied Farrow. And they sealed the entrance with huge rocks. They wanted to keep out tomb robbers. It could take you years to get inside. We've got a box of dynamite in the back of the lorry. Keesing told Farrow. When we find the
entrance it won't take us long tour way in. What about the Queen's Curse? Aren't you afraid of that? asked Farrow. 'That was written a long time ago,' replied Keesing. The Queen wanted to frighten tomb robbers. It doesn't mean anything today. You could be wrong, you know,' said Farrow. I'm going to get as far away from you as I can.​
