  Where the hell was his body taking him? It was as though he was possessed by something! He left it, determined to discover what it was, and tried to work out why someone wanted to shoot him or do something! As far as he was concerned there was nothing to kill him for and he did not know anyone that did! It and the coldness made him cringe, and blindly rush on into the dark night, getting lost in the large city.

  Away in the distance he heard a loud explosion blast out from something and wondered what it was and ignored it, and wondered if he was going to survive!

  He realized it might be a hidden survival part of him released, with special survival powers, and it would have been used by him in the wilderness to get him away from trouble, and that he would have survived dangerous confrontations in the wilderness with wild animals, and he wondered where the hell it was taking him and if he would be left out in the middle of nowhere, without any hotels or transport, but there would have to be something there with a phone or taxi, and he wondered if it was the drink driving him mad or something but he ignored it as he had never heard of that before and it did not entirely fit in with things.

  At one point he seemed to see a dead end away in the distance and he wondered why he was going there, and why he avoided other lanes, and when he got near there he stopped and realized there was a sewage pipe cover and he grabbed it and rushed down into it and shut the cover over the top of him and he climbed down a ladder to a sewage pipe below.

  For a moment he stood examining it and removed a key ring torch he kept in his pocket and he seemed to recognize the sewage pipe for some reason, but he never knew why, as though his brain had stopped him receiving information on what it was and why he recognized it, and while he was thinking it over he decided to start running again and raced off splashing through the sewage water, smelling the stink, and occasionally wondering if he had finally gone mad, and if it was a new form of madness where the person’s body took control and ran away to some destination.

  Even though the party had been great and the night wonderful he just went along with it, and to find out where the hell his body wanted him to go and do.

  He wanted to test himself and started thinking of the gunshot, and realized his speed never altered!

  Why would the person or persons go to such lengths to kill him? What could possibly be here? What could be here in such a desolate place?

  He thought of him being killed to try to get a reaction and studied his speed, but none of it altered anything!

  He decided to do the complete opposite and realized that nothing had happened and that there was nothing to prove that the person was not just trying to scare him for some reason and that he only looked like someone else that he was after, and if he showed himself to him that he would realize he was someone else and ignore him and leave him.

  Yet no matter what he thought it still remained and he even realized that he could not control his body and it running, and wondered if it was like what horses at races were like and he recalled old accounts of horses dropping dead from exhaustion from people forcing them on and on.

  His body suddenly stopped running and he wondered if his body had arrived at its destination for the night, down at the bottom of sewage system, and he was surprised that his body turned and he rushed into another sewage pipe and rushed along it towards somewhere, and he eventually reached a sewage pipe going upwards and started climbing a ladder on it towards somewhere, and gasped at wondering where he might end up.

  He suddenly came to a dead end and examined lots of small toilet pipes leading into it and turned and saw a sewage pipe cover on the side of the sewage pipe lower down and unscrewed bolts from it and removed it.

  He was surprised that it entered a basement, and in the faint light he realized it was the cellar of a business or someone’s building, and he found some old stairs going upwards, and he realized that they had hardly been used in a long time and that there were some recent footprints made with the same shoe marks, and he climbed up the stairs and found that someone at one point had cemented a slab of concrete over the top of the stairs and that someone had smashed it in to get into it and had covered it over with another new concrete slab, which he was able to push up, and he entered another cellar that was clean and being used for the storage of modern things.

  He realized the bottom basement had been hidden away, under the concrete slab, and that someone had found it and had smashed it in to get into it, and replaced the new concrete slab over the top, which looked the same as the other concrete slabs.

  He went back down and placed the slab back over the top, making sure it fitted perfectly in and adjusted it until it looked normal, and climbed down the stairs to the bottom, and started examining the cellar and why it was there and why the person that had been there had explored it.

  The whole floor seemed covered in ancient objects that had at one point been cleaned of dust and webs and he examined the stuff and it looked like it belonged to a law court or something.

  He realized little and wondered why the hell he had gone there!

  While he went to leave he spotted something and started to examine what caught his eye and he realized it was an old solid metal safe that had been locked and someone recently had used a powerful drill to open it.

  He searched inside it and only found a few useless documents left and he spotted a piece of paper that had been attached to some document that had been there and he read it with surprise as it said it had been Hess’s map, and he removed his treasure map from his inside pocket and realized that they were both the same age and that the map had clearly been attached to the piece of paper.

  Chapter 14

  The New Search

  “Where did you vanish to?” Dory asked Cameron, and burst out laughing, concerned, peering through her front door at him with a big bright smile.

  “I needed the toilet!” he replied, unsure what to say.

  She laughed again and stood looking at him crazily, and brought him into her living room.

  “You were to contact me yesterday – at my office!” she moaned loudly, trying to get him to realize it.

  “What happened when I left you and the party anyway?” he asked, inquisitively.

  “They phoned the police, and they started questioning everyone on where it had come from and they traced it to where the person was. They seemed to think it was just a crackpot playing with his gun! They’re looking for the person and anyone that saw him!”

  Cameron was surprised and wondered if he was going insane as he could not get how he could get things so incompatible. He realized now how stupid it had looked to them and him running away into the distance. Yet if he had not he would have not made the discoveries that he had!

  “I think I found something!” Cameron replied, pointing at his pocket. “I was running along ... And I found myself in a sewage pipe and in a cellar where I found an old safe with what could be a treasure map ...”

  She budged and slowly studied his face over again, and he studied her tight clothing trying to realize if she was some form of high class hooker, but he was sure it was his imagination.

  Yet she was so surprised about it that she reacted authentically, wanting to know more and sounded as if she meant business.

  “I think I’d better start over ...” she replied, wanting to explain something firmly, for him to remember. “You did tell me of the treasure map previously! Before you left and ended up in the army ... And I was helping you find information!”

  “Can I ask you a question?” he replied, examining her sincere face, and she nodded in agreement.

  He examined her and wondered why he could not remember more. After he had realized his body not only had a will of its own and actually took him to places he had made discoveries in the past, and he wondered if some part of his brain had become disconnected and was trying to discover other ways of sending information to him.

  “Whose map was it?” he replied, determined to confirm things further, as what had happened was
too strange and fantastic now.

  “You claimed it belonged to Rudolf Hess!” she replied.

  Even though he knew she was going to say it he could not grasp what was happening somewhere. It was as though someone was playing games with him, to a final conclusion.

  She studied his face and realized how deeply surprised he was.

  Her hand automatically reached into her handbag and pulled out some cigarettes and a golden lighter.

  She ignited it and mechanically drew in and blew out smoke, showing him she enjoyed it, and he glared at the end of it brightly glowing red, with smoldering gray ash falling over her and she picked up an ashtray, and she created long gray wisps of smoke swirling up through the air, while rushing up to the ceiling, and he saw it dispersing into the atmosphere.

  With one swift movement she switched on her television and kept changing channels until she saw something of interest.

  “Well?” he continued. “I was looking for the treasure after finding the map!”

  She seemed to start over again and started checking his clothes, and asked, “You look as though you’ve been living funnily!”

  “Did I drink a lot of beer before?” he asked, curiously, trying casually to answer another unanswered question.

  “As far as I know you never! You must have picked up the habit somewhere! There are some cans in the fridge!”

  Cameron gasped, feeling an intense thirst, and marched over and went into her kitchen and got them out of her fridge, and rushed back with them, and she smiled as he poured one down his throat ecstatically until he had finished.

  “I found somewhere I think there might be something!”

  “Whereabouts?” she asked, confused.

  He was determined to bring someone else into it, and never knew anyone else to trust.

  “It’s in an ancient cellar and I’m sure there might be more!”

  She just nodded in agreement, and wondered what he wanted to do, and knew he had a plan and it might be worth going along with, and she nodded again.

  “Have you any objections of going down a sewage pipe?”

  She laughed and looked startled, and asked, “No! Is that where you ended up?”

  He nodded firmly, and she examined him strangely.

  “You’re still in the army?” she giggled, and laughed wildly. “How did that happen? You must have really damaged yourself?”

  “I’m still visiting an army psychiatrist ...”

  She inhaled some smoke and started laughing.

  Chapter 15

  The Cellar

  Through plumes of smoke she resolutely analyzed him in the sewage pipe, slightly startled, trying to put sense to something she had heard and seen, while trying to suppress laughter with blank and confused faces, not knowing entirely what they were doing.

  “Well! This is a magnificent treasure hunt?” she explained, and laughed at the surrounding sewage pipe.

  She stared at him with astonishment, and looked at him at various angles and shook her head, not fully confirming something, and quietly announced, “You’ve a vague look of someone else! That I can’t identify!”

  Cameron ignored it and eyed up her figure in her explorer gear, with her backpack, and torch on her belt, and they began moving away from the sewage pipe opening above.

  He went first with his bright torch examining how different it now looked in the bright light.

  Now he seemed to recognize the sewage pipe but he was not being taken along it by himself, but he never knew why, but as though his brain had stopped him receiving information on what it was, and while he was thinking it over he decided to start to move faster, and she joined in and they moved off splashing through the sewage water, smelling the stink, and he occasionally wondered if he had become mad in places.

  He was surprised when he had a strange feeling and turned and saw another sewage pipe going sideways, and realized it was the route he had gone in and rushed along it, until they eventually reached the sewage pipe going upwards and he started climbing up its ladder.

  He suddenly came to its top and examined all of the small toilet pipes leading into it and gasped and turned and quickly removed the sewage pipe cover on the side of the pipe lower down and shifted into it.

  They both walked about the cellar and in the bright light he realized it was different now and it was clearly not someone’s building and belonged to something he could not grasp, and he examined the area around the old safe and realized it never looked like the legal place he had thought.

  He watched Dory wander around and he knew she could not grasp something and she started looking through things trying to get something that would give her a clue to the place’s identity, and Cameron realized that it had to be somewhere important and he wondered how he had originally found it.

  He swiftly removed his backpack and removed a metal detector that he had bought that day, and she smiled at it, and he started using it to examine objects everywhere that might have things hidden in them and was surprised that it detected something astounding from an area under the floor, and he believed it was the exact place he should look, and he wondered why!

  He removed two tools, a hammer and chisel, and started smashing the concrete floor away, and was surprised that it was crumbling and he started to reveal another floor below.

  “That’ll take a long time to do?” she moaned, and looked up the stairs, wondering where she was, wanting to see what they were under, and she left him and marched up the stairs to the top.

  Cameron decided it was a good idea and just to finish his work some other time.

  “What do you think this place is?” she asked, seeking facts.

  “Let’s look!”

  Cameron removed the slab above the cellar top and he entered the above cellar and he examined it trying to see if anyone had been there, and looked through all the things, and found seats and tables that might have belonged to an expensive hotel.

  “What do you think this stuff is for?” she asked.

  “It’s a load of rubbish! Let’s try upstairs!”

  She shrugged and followed him up the next stairs.

  At the top of the stairs they entered a long entirely different modern corridor and Cameron listened for anything and realized there was nobody there and marched along it to a door at the end of it and stopped, and examined a complex modern lock on the door, and spotted a set of keys with a key ring hanging on a nail on the wall and he removed it, and he stood examining numbers and passwords on the key ring and used one of the keys that fitted the lock to unlock it, and kept the keys and entered another corridor there.

  They marched along it and climbed up another set of stairs and came to a massive metal gateway, where he removed the keys, and laboriously opened fifteen locks on the gateway.

  They moved along another corridor and up more stairs, from deep below the ground, and came to a second gateway where he undid two large locked bolts and they climbed another set of stairs. He pressed twenty numbers, marked on the key ring, to switch off the alarm systems of the third gateway, and opened it.

  After going up large staircases and along three corridors they emerged at ground level and went through a set of revolving doors and emerged at the front of the building where they heard loud cheers and action outside the building, and as they were about to look out a window, before opening a door there, Dory gasped and laughed at something next to her she recognized, and they looked out the window and realized that they were in 10 Downing Street in central London, and that they had been in hidden cellars.

  Chapter 16

  The Super Power

  Cameron entered his psychiatrist’s wearing a pristine expensive black business suit and his psychiatrist examined it in glances over the top of his glasses.

  He clearly wondered what he had been doing and when he asked he explained that he had been at a birthday celebration, and one of Dory’s friends, where he had been partying, listening to loud rock music, and it went on into the night.

>   He had drank so much he had almost collapsed, and he recalled looking like a model on a magazine, with her incredible black dress, and they made their way home early in the morning.

  Everything was perfect, and even he could not imagine anything going wrong, and it had been a great night but what still annoyed him was that he did not know what she was doing at times and it was as though part of his brain would not tell him what he needed to know to grasp it, and he could not grasp what he had thought of her before then, and what their relationship was, but he was entirely glad he had told her what had happened when they had met.

  “You should cut down on the amount of drink you consume!” he finally told Cameron.

  “Why?” he replied, gasping, wondering if he thought he was drunk, as he had only taken a few drinks that morning – as he had drunk so much the night before.

  “Because!” he replied, writing something.

  “Because!”

  “Because you medical examinations showed you had far higher levels of alcohol than all the other people examined there put together for the entire year!”

  “Did they find anything else?”

  “You seem healthy enough and without any other problems!”

  Cameron nodded in agreement.

  “The police seemed to have an interest in you!” he continued, and lifted a newspaper out of drawer and handed it over to him, pointing at the front page.

  Cameron read it with amazement and how cheekily the writer was claiming a David Cameron look alike had broken into 10 Downing Street and had been removed and arrested by the police, and was being questioned on the incident.

  It was incredible and they had only been caught as Dory had opened the door to wave at someone outside that she knew, where the press and television news people were, outside the door of 10 Downing Street.
