“So you see, young lady, there never was an undiscovered seam of gold in the Al-Kahari,” Professor Henderson concluded, “I kept trying to tell these thugs that, but they wouldn’t listen and kept Angela and I prisoner trying to get us to confess to knowing about something that didn’t exist!” The academic suddenly looked very frustrated. “What really annoyed me though,” he continued, “was that that Maddox fellow vandalised my notes on the Kahari wall paintings, trying to get us to reveal the location of this fantasy gold. I’ll have to write them up again from scratch!” The professor took his pipe from his pocket, lit it and pushed in his mouth in frustration.
Later Jane loaded the bound and sullen Maddox to join the similarly tied Kane and Hargreaves, into the back of the Hendersons’ jeep. She looked round at the elderly man, whose mood had improved somewhat, and his daughter. “I hope you don’t mind taking these three to the authorities in Nairobi,” the jungle woman said to them, “but Tarzan returns from Opar tomorrow and I promised him I would check in on Chief Mpala of the Waziri while they are away. I doubt they will free themselves, but take one of their rifles each - that should keep them compliant.”
Henderson and Angela smiled in agreement and gratitude. “Of course, Jane,” said the young woman, “my father and I can’t thank you enough for saving us from these barbarians. We will deliver them to the Kenyan police with pleasure.” The professor nodded. “Yes, my dear.” he added. “It will be very satisfying to see these scoundrels locked up and then I can return to my research in peace.” With her prisoners safely stowed, Jane breathed deeply in satisfaction and also smiled. “Then I will bid you good people farewell.” she told them. She turned to her loyal chimpanzee, still waiting patiently. “Come, Chi-chi,” she said to her pet coaxingly, “our work here is done.”
