Within seconds there was no escape.
CHAPTER 20
Inside the Sacrificial Chamber
Adele Rousseau had been standing in the doorway when
she'd first felt the
floor shudder. She locked eyes with Thomas, who'd been standing over the
mummies, helping four of Weyland's archaeologists catalog the vast array of
objects inside xxx sexretary movie the chamber.
Tremors followed, powerful xxx sexretary movie enough to shake xxx sexretary movie ancient dust loose from the
xxx sexretary movie masonry. Adele looked up to see a thick stone door descending on her. Just
before the heavy portal slammed shut, Thomas yanked the xxx sexretary movie woman out of the
way.
In Thomas's grip, xxx sexretary movie Adele watched as another stone xxx sexretary movie door came out of the
ceiling, restricting access to the xxx sexretary movie only other exit from the sacred chamber.
"Get something under there!" she cried.
Two archaeologists slid a heavy aluminum case under the door. It was
promptly crushed.
"You okay?" Thomas asked, still holding her. Adele pushed herself away,
eyes scanning the room.
"
We're trapped."
Thomas looked around. &xxx sexretary movie quot;Not necessarily. Let's try to trip the door. Maybe
it will open as easily as it xxx sexretary movie closed."
"xxx sexretary movie All right, let's go," Adele cried, addressing them all. "We're going to
try to open this door."
The archaeologists-along with Thomas-placed their shoulders against the
door's ornate terra-cotta surface. Finally xxx sexretary movie Adele xxx sexretary movie joined them.
"One, two, three. ... Push!"
For
long, xxx sexretary movie desperate moments they all strained against the solid stone, to
no avail. Xxx sexretary movie the door defied the brute strength of six full-grown adults.
"I xxx sexretary movie feel a little like Sisyphus," said Professor Joshi of Brown University.
"Slab's gotta weigh two tons," Adele said mournfully. "We'll never move
it." She slapped the stone door in frustration. At xxx sexretary movie her side, Thomas gripped
her arm and pointed.
"What xxx sexretary movie is that?" he asked.
While they had been trying to move the stone door, a round, leathery sack
had been deposited in the carved depression next to one of the sacrificial
slabs.
