: Chapter 14
: They sat in the compartment as Kate asked,
: “Well, Indy, where’s is he going?”
: Before Indy could answer, Elsie said, “El-Minya.”
: “How do you know?” Kate asked.
: “I am the expert of Akhanton,” Elsie said, “El-Minya is the site of where Akhanton built the temple of Aton, the sun god, when he moved the capital from Thebes. He created a new city, Tall al’ Amarinah, to honor this god. After the Akhanton died, the religion died with him.”
: Kate looked at her with astonishment as Elsie said, “Didn’t you study the material on Egyptology in college?”
: Kate was ready to reply as Indy waved his hand and asked, “Omar plans to revive the Aton religion?”
: Elsie nodded, “He plans to go to the temple, have a ceremony to retrieve the power of the disk in his body and overthrow the government.”
: “We’ve just have to get to the temple first,” Indy said and looked at Kate, “Do you have anything on you?”
: Kate pulled out a gun from her purse and said, “I gave Elsie my pistol.”
: “Where did you get that?” Elsie asked.
: “I have my ways,” Kate shrugged as she put the gun back in her purse.
: Elsie shook her head and Indy smiled a bit. He laid back and said,
: “You don’t know who we really are, Elsie.”
: “Sure I do,” as she pointed at him, “You’re Indiana Jones, famous archeologist and she’s your wife.”
: Kate laughed and said, “Well, one out of two is not that bad.”
: “Sorry?” Elsie asked.
: “Let’s just say,” looking at Indy, “I have my ways to get anything I want, sometimes when I don’t want it.”
: Indy grinned at her as Elsie was clearly confused as they planned out what to do at the temple.

: Omar sat in his compartment, looking at the disc. He was patiently waiting to arrive in El-Minya when one of his men came in and said,
: “Sir, Dr. Jones and the captives have escaped.”
: “They couldn’t have, Mohan.”
: “Someone saw Jones at his friend’s house just an hour earlier.”
: “He couldn’t have caught the train,” as he settled in his seat, “Come on, fortune and glory awaits us!”

Chapter 15

Indy, Kate, and Elsie buried thier faces in newspapers as Omar and his goon, Mohan, walked by. As Omar went out the door to another compartment, Indy rose from his seat.
"Where are you going?" Kate asked.
"To follow Omar," Indy said. "I've got to find out where he's hidden the disc."
Kate said,"Then I'm coming with you!"
"No," Indy said. "This is kid's play. I'll be right back."
And with that, Indy walked down the aisle and out the door.

Omar stood at the rail on the back of the train, watching the rising sun.
he thought.
Mohan burst thriugh the door.
"It is confirmed, Your Most High," Mohan said. Indiana Jones is onboard."
"Time for a new plan," Omar said.
"Yes, Your Most High!"

Indiana Jones had been through three cars as hadn't spotted Omar or Mohan yet. Now, he was walking through the baggage car. He opened the door to exit, when a thought struck him.

He looked at the tags on all the cases, and soon found a satchel with Omar's name on the tag. He ripped it open and what he found made him smile.
"Well, no disc," he said, as he pulled his whip from the bag.

Indy opened the door to the baggage car and saw Mohan coming right for him. He shut the door quickly and hid behind a large trunk. As an afterthought, Indy reaced up and pulled Omar's opened bag behind with him.
Mohan walked straight through without looking at all.
Indy stood and walked out.

Kate was worried. Elsie sat across the aisle, telling her to not worry. It wasn't helping!
Kate thought.
Suddenly, a man sat down in Indy's seat.
"Hello, Mrs. Jones. Please come with me," Mohan said. "And do not forget that there is a gun at your side."
