The Rings of Poseidon

by Mike Crowson

  Cornelius stayed in the car and fidgeted while Ian went into the hospital to visit Juliana. When he came out they drove onto the same Cadiz-Algeciras Road that Gill, Manjy and Alan had taken, and headed for Boloña.

  There is just the one dead end lane to the beach and the ruin, so they took it and pulled into the same car park where the three archaeologists had parked. Cornelius, of course, knew exactly where to look for the rings and exactly what ritual to use. Because of this the two of them went to eat rather than worrying about locations.

  Come nightfall, Cornelius and Ian went to more or less the same spot as Gill, Alan and Manjy had done and followed much the same ritual as they had as well.
