The Race is On

Before they had gone far, they heard the drone of an engine. Ray had apparently got the single-seater airworthy enough to risk his promised flyover. Low enough to spot them against the desert sands, yet mercifully high enough not to spook the camels, he was criss-crossing the area nearby in search of them.

Once he had spotted them, he dropped lower a little way ahead, and the party could see him leaning out of the cockpit to drop several packages. When they reached them, they found some welcome supplies, though only two of the water containers had survived the drop. A note inside assured them that all was well.

“Perri and Liz both hard at work looking for anything they can find on the curse. Also, they’ve heard that there is another group heading out after the Lotus, so be careful. The name Roth keeps coming up. Does that mean anything to you? I slept at the aerodrome last night, in case the saboteurs came back, but no sign of trouble. I’ll do that until you return. This plane is mostly fixed up. The undercarriage is a little worrisome, but I’ve landed on worse. Still working on the other plane. Hope these supplies help. Ray.”

He didn’t set off back for Luxor after the supply drop, however, but flew overhead another three times. Each time, he pointed the nose of the aircraft in the same direction and wiggled the wings up and down. It looked like he was trying to tell them something–something new, apparently, or wouldn’t he have put it in his note?

They kept an eye open in that direction as they traveled and sure enough, eventually they caught a glimpse of another group cresting a dune. Wasn’t that just too much of a coincidence? The Century Club (plus two) were on the alert again.
