Re: Hank's Hold
"We, that is the Museum Head, Doctor Conway, the Lady Eleanora, Von Draken, Mark Smith who's our construction engineer, Poor Tom Sailor--Draken found him dead in his tent--committed suicide--gambling debts, Lenny Vouskilla...."
"That's me." Lenny chimes in.
"Antonio Villaregra came in a bit later after performing in Cairo for a week."
"Sold-out crowds, but I forced myself to go on the stage. The spark, the vision, the muse she had left me." Antonio mutters darkly as Rich continues.
"Reverend Charles Larkin, our minister and also chief draftsman, and me came up the Nile on the Bonaventure, and then took camel to Arunthet Province where we met the other six not counting Antonio, and hired native guides and workers to take us to the pyramid. Mark's dozer was the worst. He had to take it apart and have camels tote the whole thing by pieces."
"Hey man, if you can get us out, I'll name my firstborn child after you. As soon as I get married." Lenny replies to you as you pace.
Rich shakes his head, and then Antonio takes your arm.
"Come, yes, Rich, we lost it, but think, Charles..."
"Of course. I'll get it, Charlie is scared of small spaces." Rich starts to leave the room.
