it’s safe, nothing to fear,” laughed Helen.
     
    It was early afternoon when two suspicious Mexican characters arrived at the Chichen Itza temples. They mingled in with the tourists whenever security guards were seen coming their way. After making sure professor Shireberg had not come back for supplies and was still at the camp, they were soon on their way, taking the same route as Andreas had taken with Jason and Danny.
    Driving as fast as the terrain would permit, they arrived at the exact spot where Andreas had stopped. They then started their trek through the jungle. Both men were well prepared and wasted no time as they planned to take Helen and get out as fast as they can.
     
    As Jason made his way through the archway, he felt the surrounding air somewhat cooler than before. They descended deeper underground down the three feet wide stone steps, leading them into the darkness. Their flashlights were nearly drained of power and were unable to penetrate through the black surroundings. The steps seemed to go on forever taking them further underground.
    Suddenly Helen said, “this is the furthest I have gone. I counted the steps the last time I was here, but had to turn back, as one of the locals who had run all the way from camp was hysterical. That’s when we got the news that John and Paul have been murdered.”
    Jason said to Helen, “so beyond this point we’re entering unexplored territory, and have no idea what we will encounter down there.”
    Jason took out his Colt and removed the safety latch.
    Helen saw the firearm and said, “my god! What do you think we’re going to find down there…. Big Foot?”
    Jason slowly turned around to face Helen.
    “Listen woman! I’m taking no chances, okay. For all we know there could be some wild animal down there. Now if you’re not comfortable walking behind me, you can move your ass to the back of the line!”
    Helen was shocked by Jason’s words. She kept quiet but remained behind Jason having second thoughts about the wild animals.
    They were well beyond sixty steps and still descending. Helen directed her flashlight in front of Jason, expecting some animal to jump out in front of him. Finally, after another ten minutes, they came to the last step. The passage opened up into a large, roundish shape with the ceiling over twenty feet in height. Jason suddenly stopped where he was. Twenty feet in front of him stood a dark figure, well over seven feet tall. With lightning speed, he aims his Colt, ready to fire at the slightest movement. But the figure didn’t move.
    Helen touched his arm lowering his weapon.
    “It’s just a statue,” she said.
    She edged her way past him and went up to it. At over seven feet tall it hovered above her like a giant. A large head and a protruding mouth bared large rows of teeth. It wore arm bands covered with skulls and serpents. As head gear, it wore a round cap with a large hollow horn pointing upwards. A large beaded neck band covered with teeth and beads were worn tightly around the neck. The rib cage was clearly visible just like a decomposing body would look. Everything about the statue resembled death.
    “What is it?” Asked Danny.
    Both Helen and Jason examined it carefully, going over every detail.
    “Well!” Danny asked again.
    “This is a statue of one of the underworld gods. It’s magnificent. The details are so precise,” answered Helen.
    Jason agreed with her. “You’re right. Not even in Egypt have I seen a statue with so much detail, and to think it’s sculptured out of marble makes it so more remarkable.”
    Suddenly the two locals who remained a few feet behind started talking out loud. One of them seemed on edge while the other tried to calm hi friend down.
    Helen stepped forward, interrupting. “What is it? What’s wrong with him?” She asked.
    But before he could answer her, the frightened worker turned and fled up the stairs.
    “He says we cannot go any further. It is forbidden. Only the high
