  Alex felt restless. Along with his sister Rosita and his friend Hugo. Alex had been waiting in the cave for nearly three hours expecting either an attack from the returning robbers or the arrival of a rescue party, but nothing had happened. He and Rosita had had some food and a sleep, and now it was Hugo's turn to sleep after his meal. Rosita was lying in the entrance to the cave keeping watch on the valley below. Alex threw himself down beside her.

  “I do hope Ruark is all right,” she said, her eyes on the view outside.“I keep hoping I will see him somewhere.”

  “I'm sure he's okay,”answered Alex “I'm pretty certain the enemy thought it was a ground attack. Anyway, they were too busy rushing to get away in their landrover to waste time firing at a condor. I'm not worried about him. What I am worrying about, though, are the words on that tape that was attached to Ruark's leg. I keep saying the words to myself:
