Careful becomes your middle name as you inch away from Indy and toward the opening of the mine.
When you finally reach the main tunnel, past the wall with the red painted warning, you hear the sound you didn’t want to hear. Another cave-in rumbles through the mine far behind you—where Indy was trapped!
On the return trip to Indy, you, Jamal, and the bearers have to dig through walls of debris. The second cave-in has nearly sealed the entire mine up tight.
As you work, Jamal and the others begin humming a melody. Their voices echo and hang in the air. Is it an African labor song? A prayer?
“The song is called ‘Stardust.’ Popular American song that Indy insisted we learn,” Jamal answers, continuing to push aside rocks.
“I just hope he can hear it,” you say, scooping away more dirt with your hands.
