Nellie found the wooden door in the second small cave she investigated.

It was not a large door, not much higher than she was, made of heavy planks and set into the stone. Nowhere near as old as the Indian village up above, but not of this century either.

“I wonder what went on down here back in the Wild West days,” Nellie said to herself as she examined the door latch carefully.

The door didn’t appear to be locked and she could detect no sign of booby trap. She took a deep breath and opened the door.

There was a faint medicinal smell in the stone room she entered. And something else . . . coffee?

Yes, there was a battered pot sitting on a kerosene stove over in the corner. And on the table in the center of the stone floor was a white metal box.

Nellie crossed the room and carefully opened the box. It was a first-aid kit.

Those hypos don’t look like standard first-aid equipment, she thought. And what’s that funny-looking stuff in the vials?

Nellie picked up one of the vials of bluish liquid. Could this be the stuff that does the trick? she wondered.

Pike better see this, she decided. “Pike,” she called out. “Hey, Pike, come over here for a minute.”

The wooden door of the underground room suddenly slammed shut.

“Pike?” she said once more.

She turned the beam of the flashlight toward the door. No one there.

Then she took in her breath sharply. She’d seen something appear on the floor in the circle of light. And there was another.

Drops of blood. Drops of blood coming out of nowhere.
