Description:
Continued from Part 1... Eugene's parents may still be alive! Aman shares the story. The Ashanti village was under siege from the greedy Wolof tribe that was searching for gold. Aman explains that it was when the Ashantis traded the Meltsners to the Wolof tribe to save themselves from warfare that the curse appeared. They threw their leader, Yosef, into the river for trading innocent lives instead of fighting for their village. Eugene is elated to discover that his parents may still be alive and he sets out with Katrina to find them. However, when they try to cross the river on the rope bridge, the river swells and Eugene is nearly carried away. On a hunch, Eugene and Katrina hike upriver and discover a dam, a strangely modern piece of architecture for such a remote village. After crossing the river successfully over the dam, Yosef appears! He forces Eugene and Katrina to the Wolof camp, intending to exchange Eugene for Leonard. The Wolof camp is empty, but Katrina finds Thelma Meltsner’s grave. Eugene gathers the strength to press on and find his father anyway. A Wolof man appears as Yosef shows Eugene the archeological dig in which Leonard worked. The Wolof man takes everyone. But there will be no exchange. According to the Wolof man, Leonard Meltsner died three months earlier in a cave-in. Eugene is devestated. The story continues in part III...
