The man sensed that he wasn’t alone, so he pointed his flashlight in different directions. He seemed to be in a hurry, so he went back to work.
No sooner did Leila start to move out from behind the rock than he turned round again and saw her.
Leila was brave as she told Lander that he was a liar and he wasn’t a mining engineer.

They followed Lander until he stopped his truck, got out and opened two metal doors with a key.
Ramon stopped the car fifty metres a way and they ran in the darkness. Leila feared that Lander might have a gun.
As the truck door was open and the engine was still running, Leila got into the truck and drove at him. Lander ran. In the truck flash, Leila saw Lander jumping into a small single engine plane and he started the engine.
