Welcome to chapter III of the story. It's been almost two months since my latest chapter and now that I have time to update it I decided to do that. In this part we're going scuba diving as the topic description describes it. Hang on while you read, it's a dark part since it's set over night. Enjoy!

(We fade in with a soft-somewhat happy MacGyver theme tune)
Chapter Three
Scuba diving
The Treasure
Night

With MacGyver’s topless and door-less jeep we drove back to the beach to the place where we were earlier that day. It was about 10 pm. City life was getting busy. Peoples were going out, going to dance do whatever they liked doing. The beach was deserted and the only sound there was belonged to the ocean. The waves flowed to the edge of the sand and got pulled back. MacGyver parked his jeep and got out. The rest of us followed. (Music fades away here)
‘So, Mike, did you arranged that boat for us like I asked you?’ MacGyver asked while he took the scuba gear out of the back of the jeep.
‘Yeah, it’s right over there,’ he said pointing to the boat.
‘Come on, what are you guys waitin’ for?’ Marcus said. ‘The sooner it’s gets done, the better for us. I wanna know what on the *bad word removed* ship was.’
‘You’re not the only one Marcus,’ I said.
‘Dad, how many suits do you actually have?’ Sam asked.
‘Three.’
‘Look, Marcus and I will stay on the boat until you get back from down there. It’s not the time nor the weather to go swimming,’ Mike said.
‘You’re right,’ MacGyver said.
‘Can you remain contact?’ Marcus said.
‘What do you mean?’ I asked.
‘Is there a way you can keep in touch with us, like of these earphones?’ Mike said.
‘Nah, that won’t be necessary,’ MacGyver said. ‘We’re just going to take a look and see if we can find a cargo or anything. I don’t think it’s going to take long.’
‘I don’t know, dad. It was a big freighter ship.’
‘We’ll see,’ he said while he took a box out of the jeep. ‘Come on, let’s go.’
The five of us went on the beach again and we took the boat to sail to the place where the ship went under.
‘Here are flashlights,’ Mac said and gave me and Sam one. A third one, he kept for himself. ‘Here’s one for the two of you,’ he said and gave one to Mike. ‘The ship should be directly underneath us, so give us about 15 minutes, then we’ll be back.’
We quickly putted our diving suits on and went under.
‘Now what do we do, Mike?’
‘Wait.’
(Slow tense creepy music comes up here)
So MacGyver, Sam and me swam under water and deeper and deeper until we reached the bottom of the sea. We turned our flashlights on so we could see a little more in the darkness. There was enough light to see each other but without it, we couldn’t see *bad word removed*. Then it was all blackness. We actually stood on the bottom and with the little light we had, we saw fishes swimming around. Ocean life was a great thing. This is where life itself started, in the sea. During the evolution life discovered land and continued there. MacGyver came closer to me and pushed on a button that was hidden in my goggles. (Somewhat uplifting music comes up here and then becomes creepy, slow and tense again) Suddenly light came on in my goggles. The place were I stood was completely enlightened. I nodded in approval and putted my thumb up. He did the same thing with Sam and himself. That light was neatly found, probably a new invention of the Phoenix Foundation. By pointing his fingers in two directions, he tried to make us clear that we should split up. I was supposed to go to the right, Sam to the left and MacGyver was going to find a way in the middle. We each swam into the direction Mac gave us. I first swam all around the ship. When I swam around both Sam and Mac were going in. They probably already found a way into the ship. I came back where I started from and let my hand go sliding at the side of ship to find a way in. My hand felt something. Aha! There was a hole in the side. I swam inside and came into a passageway of the ship. Once in there it was a whole maze of passages. On some spots I had the feeling I past them several times before. Every room I passed was a mess. Everywhere holes were blown into the walls because of all those explosions. While roaming through those spaces I ended up at the upper deck. I shook my head, there was no way they could’ve hide some on the upper deck. I went back in the ship and decided to find some stairs, if there were any and follow them below. There had to be a cargo hold of some sort. Maybe there they had things to could sell good on the black market. I looked on my health meter for no reason but I had plenty of air left. Suddenly the lights of my goggles went off. (The music goes BOO) I freaked out a little but regained my senses fast. I felt something passing by me. I tapped my goggles a little until they lit on again, what I then saw freaked the hell out of me. The thing that passed by me was a bitten off arm. (The music becomes shocking and fast paced) I quickly swam out of there. Behind a wall, I tried to stay calm and to breath relaxed. I let my arms go up and down slowly and became relaxed again. (The music becomes creepy again) I can do this, although it was my first time. I continued my way down and more down until I bumped into someone. I didn’t know if it was Mac or Sam. When I looked at the person I saw it was Sam. Questioning, he putted up his thumb, a little shaken I putted my thumb up. He made me follow him. So I followed him. He and I stayed together, looking for his father. (The music changes into the sewers scene from Trail to Doomsday)
MacGyver was somewhere else in the ship. He was going in the right direction, of course. He followed a passageway all the way through, there was a soft turn to right. It led him to a dead end. A dead end? MacGyver looked at the wall and to the ceiling of the passage to see if there was a hole or something he could go into. There was a hole, but under him. He swam in that hole and it brought him to an open but flooded under area. That part of the ship appeared to be unused. He kept swimming around until he found something. In the farthest left corner there was small door, half open. He swam to it. His head went in it but only barely. Just far enough to see what there was to see in the room next door. The room wasn’t that big as the one where he came through before. There was a table there and a bookcase. He founded boxes with the Phoenix Foundation emblem on. Maybe that was what Willis was shipping? The boxes where too big to carry. MacGyver searched the room a little more. He founded a crowbar and used it to pry one of the boxes open. The lit got open, he searched in the box to found out what was in it. He let his hand go down into the box. He felt something. It felt like a brick. He took it out of the box. This is big. When he brought the brick near the light of goggles, his eyes became bigger. (The music changes into the Lost Treasure of Atlantis theme) Gold? Pure gold? This couldn’t be. What would the Phoenix Foundation want with gold? An answer that only Peter Thornton could give him. He opened the other box, it had the same contents in there. Gold. (The music becomes slower again) He placed the gold back in those boxes. He had to get out of there and that’s what he did. On his way back we bumped into him. We looked at him but we couldn’t say anything because of our diving suit. We swam some more around to see if there was anything else at the ship, but nothing important appeared to be there. MacGyver was certain of it, that besides the gold nothing else was there. He led us to the gold and showed it to us. Sam and I shared a look. Real gold. We never saw real gold. It was truly awesome, but we all know MacGyver. He wouldn’t let us keep it anyway so he probably would made us giving it to charity. What a hopeless-do-gooder. We searched the room again but found nothing else. Apparently the gold was the only thing there. When we were certain, that we searched through the whole ship, we decided the go back up. We didn’t quite find a way back up, since the ship was such a maze of passages and rooms. During swimming through the ship we founded a way back up and swam back to the surface. (Music fades away here) Up there a surprise was waiting for us. The Von Leer brothers, Mammon and a few other henchman were aiming their guns at us when we appeared above water. They tied Mike and Marcus back to back.
‘Oh, look, there’s MacGyver and company,’ Erich said.
‘I should’ve known,’ Mac said, ‘you followed us.’
‘That’s right,’ Nikolaus cheered. ‘You got to be more careful, MacGyver.’
‘What are you going to do with us?’ I asked.
‘You and Sam are going to be tied up right here next to Mike and Marcus. In the meanwhile MacGyver here will lead Mammon to the place where the gold is hidden and bring it up here.’
‘Right, that’ll never happen,’ Mac smirked.
‘If you don’t, I’ll shoot your son through his head,’ Nikolaus threatened.
‘You got your own scuba gear, don’t you, Mammon?’ Mac asked. ‘The gold is at the bottom of the ocean, right below us.’
Two of the Von Leer brother’s henchmen pulled me and Sam out of the water. Nikolaus hands them the rope to tie us up. Sam and I were tied up now. Mammon jumped in the water. ‘Hey, if we give you the gold, you let them go, right?’
‘Maybe,’ Erich said. ‘We can let them go alive or letting them go out of their misery.’
‘Our misery,’ Nikolaus said.
‘Whatever.’
‘Ready, Mammon?’ MacGyver asked. ‘I’ll show you to way.’
‘Only the way, no tricks or isms,’ Mammon responded.
MacGyver and Mammon disappeared under water again, leaving us behind.
‘Hey, Sam, do you think your father got any ideas now?’ I asked.
‘I don’t know, Mario, but I really hope so,’ Sam responded.
‘Your father can’t help you this time,’ Nikolaus said.
‘What do you mean?’
‘The four of you don’t get out of here alive,’ Erich said.
‘And what the *bad word removed* do you mean by that?’ Mike asked.
One of the henchmen took something out of a green backpack and gave it to Erich Von Leer.
‘This is an explosion device.’
‘We know what that is,’ Sam said. ‘We’ve seen many those before.’ (Music comes up here again) Erich pushed a button and a red light started to bleep. On a small screen red numbers started to count down from 360 seconds.
‘Within six minutes this boat and it’s passengers will blow up and sink to the bottom of the ocean. What can we say? You’re shark bait.’
Erich laughed at the remark while remembering the events of this afternoon.
‘What about your man below us, then?’ Marcus asked. (Music fades away here)
‘If he doesn’t come back within six minutes, he’ll die.’
‘What about my father?’
‘He’ll die too. Especially he must die.’
‘There’s something I would like to know,’ I said referring to Mike and Marcus. ‘How the hell got the two of you captured, while your guns does nothing but blazing?’
‘They were easily caught.’
‘We reacted to late,’ Mike said. ‘These things happen once in a wile.’
‘You guys where lying down on the job, right?’ Sam said.
‘Sort of,’ Marcus responds.
‘This is pathetic, man,’ I said.
‘Don’t worry, we’ll get out of here,’ Sam mentioned.
‘The question is how. The sooner MacGyver gets back, the better for us,’ Marcus said.
‘Yeah, right. You don’t think you’ll see your father again, do you?’ Nikolaus asked.
‘Look, *bad word removed*. If I get loose, I’ll kick your sorry bum together,’ Sam yelled out.
‘Oh, yeah?’
Nikolaus came in front of him and hits him in the face with a hard right hand. Sam was shaken by the punch. He sighs and then suddenly kicks Nikolaus in his balls. Erich immediately places the barrel of his gun against Sam’s head and pulls the trigger. Also Nikolaus is now aiming his gun at the Sam’s head.
‘I didn’t think so! If your sorry life is worth something, you don’t do that again. Do it again and I’ll kill you. I swear I’ll kill you.’
Sam kicked him in his balls again, harder this time. Nikolaus felled onto his knees. (Tense music comes up here) Erich shot Sam right next to his ear. Nikolaus shot him right next to his other ear. We both felt the bullets whistling only an inch from our ears.
‘I swear it,’ Nikolaus said on a soft but dangerous tone
‘Try it, you little jackass,’ Sam taunted him.
‘I’ll kill your father, your friend over there, you, those cops and your girlfriends with my own hands and I’ll bury you with my own hands.’
‘If you lay one hand on Andrea…,’
‘Then what? You’ll kill me? Don’t make me laugh.’
‘I won’t make you laugh. I’ll make you scream of pain and if I can’t kill you, I will sure try it. Believe me, I will.’
‘That goes for Allie, too,’ I said. ‘One hand or even a finger upon her and I’ll cut of your fingers or your hands.’
The Von Leer brothers laughed amused.
‘If you survive this night and we’ll meet again, then you and I will fight to the death,’ Nikolaus said to Sam.
‘Sure, anywhere, any place, any time,’ Sam responded.
‘Just shut the *bad word removed* up, now!’
Erich now placed his gun to my head.
‘That goes for us too, friend,’ he said.
‘What is?’ I asked, while I knew already what it was.
‘If we meet again, we too shall fight to the death.’
‘Unless I’m mistaken, your deal is with MacGyver. He’s the reason that you “died”, remember? How the hell is it possible that you both survived your deaths? You got hit by a laser, sending you in a cave with boulders falling on you and Nikolaus “died” after removing the eye of Osiris, triggering another trap in Alexander’s tomb. Crushed by some big rock. How did you survive that?’
‘Never believe what you see. Does it matter how we survived? We survived and now we’re back at it again, doing what we do best. Stealing treasures. There’s gold below here,’ Erich said with a greedy tone in his voice.
‘Plus, you died in Cherbourg and your brother in Turkey.’
‘So what? If MacGyver died at the pendulum torture, we wouldn’t have had this much troubles. As I once said MacGyver’s knowledge in some things can be very valuable to us but he is just too dangerous for us.’
‘Anyway, your deal is with MacGyver. You can have MacGyver. I just have a little score to settle with your right hand man, Mammon.’
‘Whatever.’
‘He tried to kill me in that bar.’
‘Pity, he didn’t succeed. Usually he does his job very well.’
‘Well, we’re very hard to kill,’ Sam snapped.
‘We know that, but if we succeeds, it’ll go very fast.’
‘If we get to kill you first it’ll go very slow.’
‘Talk, talk, talk! Nothing but talk, but when it come to deeds, your kind always chickens out.’ (Music fades away again)
‘Not quite, brother,’ Nikolaus said to Erich. ‘MacGyver nearly killed a man once.’
All the eyes on the boat went to Nikolaus’ direction. Sam and I shared a look, no matter how hard it was to look each other straight in the face. We were just like Mike and Marcus. Tight, back to back. Actually we could only see a side of our faces.
‘Will you explain yourself, sir?’ Sam asked. ‘My father never killed a man.’
‘I didn’t say he did, I said that he nearly did.’
‘You’re talking about Booker, aren’t you? The owner of the Challengers Club,’ I said.
‘Yep, that’s the guy.’
‘But my father never killed him. It was that Larson guy.’
‘You see, in a struggle with that man, MacGyver grabbed the gun and was about to beat him to death with it.’
‘You don’t know that. I wasn’t there, but I’m sure my father would’ve never killed that guy.’
‘He didn’t, he chickened out and that’s my point.’
‘But I won’t chicken out. You can take my word.’
‘I rather take out your heart.’
‘Maybe you’ll get that chance.’
‘Good.’
‘Maybe you won’t.’
‘That’s too bad.’
Sam and Nikolaus finally stopped their little arguing. I looked at the timer. 180 seconds left.
‘Come on, MacGyver,’ I whispered. ‘Only three minutes left.’
Erich looked agitated on the screen. There were only three minutes left. If Mammon doesn’t return within those next two minutes they’ll have to leave empty-handed.
‘The time is shortening, Nikolaus.’
‘I know, brother. But I won’t leave here without that gold. If it’s absolutely necessary we’ll reset that timer.’
‘I guess we got no choice then. The gold is too important to lose.’
(The same slow creepy tense music from before comes up here again)
Far below us, MacGyver and Mammon entered the ship. MacGyver was feeling uncomfortable with Mammon swimming behind him. He could always attack him from the back. While roaming again through that maze of passageways, he always looked back to Mammon, only to see if he was up to something or not. He led him through the passageways, not forgetting there’s a timer counting down. The lives of four peoples where depending on him. He came back to the place that went dead. MacGyver signalled to Mammon that they should go down now. Mammon signed him that he should go first so MacGyver went first. Mammon followed him. MacGyver gave further directions to the gold. He couldn’t believe he was doing this: leading the bad guys to their glory. It was as if he was losing the battle. But if he’s losing the battle, he can still win the war. MacGyver pointed to the door where the gold was hidden. They swam through the doors and MacGyver showed him to gold. Mammon grinned when he saw the gold. Finally! Finally they had gold. Now Mammon was supposed to get rid of MacGyver. This was going to be easy. (Music changes into someting suspenseful) Mammon grabbed his gun and lightning fast hits MacGyver in his head with it. Hard enough to get him unconscious. Mammon took all the gold in a few bags and disappeared. He closed the door behind him and locked it and left with the gold. (Music fades away here) It was a little harder to get back to the surface, because of the weight of all that gold. Mammon swam back to the surface. There were only ninety seconds left when Mammon appeared above the water.
‘Mr. Von Leer! I’ve got it! I’ve got the gold,’ he said.
‘What?’
‘All of it. Take it, these bags are heavy.’
Nikolaus grabbed the bags and helped Mammon getting back on the boat.
‘Wait a minute,’ Sam said. ‘Where’s my father?’
‘He had a few air problems,’ Mammon said.
‘You son of a --WATCH YOUR LANGUGE--, you killed him, didn’t you?’ I said.
‘Be quiet,’ Sam snapped at me. ‘We don’t know what happened yet. My father isn’t dead. I can feel that. You locked him up, didn’t you? He’s still down there.’
Mammon nor the Von Leer brothers looked at Sam or even said something.
‘You --WATCH YOUR LANGUGE--s!’
Mammon slugged Sam in the face.
‘Goddamn you!’
‘Hey, man, that wasn’t necessary,’ Marcus yelled.
‘That’s enough,’ Nikolaus said. ‘I trust that you killed MacGyver, Mammon?’
‘Consider it done. I smashed him in the head with this gun unconscious. If he didn’t came around by now, he’s dead. I took care of him, Mr. Von Leer. We got rid of MacGyver now. I think it’s time we took care of the rest.’
‘You’re right,’ Erich said. ‘It’s time for us to get rid of these four and to get the hell out of here. Our job is done, we got what we wanted.’
The Von Leer brother and their associates stepped back in their own boat with the gold.
‘You guys lost this time,’ Nikolaus said.
‘We didn’t lose yet,’ I said.
‘It’s not because you won this battle, that you’ve won the war,’ Sam said.
‘Oh, yeah. You can’t win this time because you already lost.’
‘What do you mean?’
‘Watch this.’ (Running-out-of-time-music comes up here)
Nikolaus resets the timer back to 180 seconds and with some duct tape he places it on the outside of the boat, so that we couldn’t reach it.
‘Within three minutes, you’re all dead. Goodbye all. I wished MacGyver was here too bad he’s already dead,’ Nikolaus.
‘Why?’ Erich asked.
‘That I could have said “Goodbye, MacGyver”.’
Both of the Von Leers brothers laughed at that remark and then they left. Now we were left behind on the ocean. The four of us, hands tied behind our back. We couldn’t risk moving too much because that would have caused the boat to tip over. We were trying to loosen each other up but instead of loosening, we made it tighter. Then there was still the bomb. It could blow up any minute. It was actually a funny sight. The four of us tied on a boat with a bomb, not too far from beach and nobody who saw us.
‘Does anybody of you got a knife or something?’ I asked.
‘I left mine in my other pants,’ Sam said.
‘And those sons of --WATCH YOUR LANGUGE--es took our guns,’ Mike said.
‘What about that bomb?’ Marcus asked.
‘I think you better say your prayers because we’re done for it,’ I said.
‘Sam, what about your father?’ Marcus asked again.
‘I know he’s still down there, Marcus,’ Sam answered. ‘Down there and still alive.’
(Music changes into searching-for-a-solution-music)
Sam was right. MacGyver was still alive but unconscious and time was running out. Not only for him but also for us. MacGyver started to move a little and slowly opened his eyes. He tried to regain his senses and to find out where he was. He was under water and remembered what happened and what was going on. He looked at his air meter. Oh, my God. He had air for less than two minutes. It was time to get out of there. He tried to open the door but it was locked. MacGyver looked around to find something to work with. He wondered where that crowbar was. He founded it but it was ineffective on the door. Further on there was nothing in there that could’ve helped him. He looked on his air meter again. Ninety-five seconds left. He had to make a decision now and saw only one way out of there or else he would drown. He took the air tank of his back and took a few relaxed breaths to feed his lungs with air. Then he took the mouthpiece out of his mouth and then opened the top of the air tank. It had the effect of a balloon where the air was let out. It was the effect MacGyver was hoping for and the air tank smashed the door in. (Uplifting music comes up here then changes again) MacGyver was free and had to get out of there fast. He swam as fast as he could out of the ship. He swam out of the ship into the open ocean and started his way back up the surface. He saw the surface coming closer but he was starting to get out of breath. At the final moment when he thought he wasn’t going to make, he gave everything of himself to get to the surface and he got there. (Music changes into the MacGyver theme then fades away) MacGyver gasps deeply for fresh air and coughs like hell. We heard him cough.
‘Dad?!’ Sam yells through the night
‘MacGyver?’
‘Hey, hey. We’re over here,’ Mike shouted.
MacGyver looked behind him and saw us.
‘Hey, I’m coming.’
Tiresome he swam to us. He swam up to the boat, but saw the bomb first. (Tense music comes up again)
‘Djeezes Christ. We got to get out of here. The bomb will explode in about forty-five seconds.’
‘Can’t you diffuse it?’ Sam asked.
‘There’s no time.’
MacGyver took his knife out of his jacket that was on the boat and cuts our ropes. By the time we were free, there were only ten seconds left. When we finally jumped of the boat, it exploded. KABOOM!!! We were blown away and ended up in the ocean. (The music reaches it's peak with the explosion and then fades away) We swam back to shore, where we all lay down in the sand.
‘That was too close,’ Marcus said.
‘What happened, dad?’
‘That baboon knocked me unconscious and locked me down there, to drown. It was almost too late. We lost this round, Sam. But the battle isn’t over yet.’
‘I know, dad. What are we going to do?’
‘Visiting hours are over in the hospital.’
‘So?’
‘I guess we’re going have to pay Willis a little visit tomorrow.’
‘Who’s Willis?’ Marcus asked.
‘A colleague of ours,’ I answered.
‘And a friend,’ Sam continued.
‘But what can he do to help us, if he’s in the hospital?’
‘I don’t know,’ Mac said. ‘That gold was real enough. It couldn’t be fake or else the Von Leer brothers and their goons wouldn’t be so anxious to get it in their hands. There’s something more going on here, something bigger, then just that gold. I can feel it. Willis owes us an explanation.’
‘What do you mean with something bigger?’ I asked.
‘Maybe there is something in that gold. Something illegal.’
‘You mean like drugs,’ Marcus asked.
MacGyver gave Marcus a-could-be-look.
‘That’s possible.’
Mike started to walk from left to right.
‘This is great,’ Mike said cheerfully. ‘That’s our territory.’
‘Yeah?’
‘We can bust these guys for shipping drugs. This is what we are actually supposed to do, instead of babysitting the three of you.’
‘We don’t even know if it’s really drugs. That’s something we’ll have to find out,’ MacGyver said. ‘From tomorrow on, we’ll start our investigation. The two of you could be a real help.’
‘We’re the Miami PD, man, you can count on us,’ Mike said.
‘Remember, the police is your friend,’ Marcus said with overreacted friendliness. Sam and I shared a look and then we both rolled our eyes.
‘Aw, man!’ Mac expressed.
‘What are we getting ourselves into?’ I wondered.
‘Adventure,’ Sam laughed.
‘So tomorrow we’ll begin,’ Mac said.
‘You got a plan Mac, where do we begin?’ I asked.
‘With an explanation from Willis and a little research oughta give us some advance in the investigation. With a little luck it’ll lead us to the Von Leers hideout. By tomorrow evening this case is booked.’
‘Are you sure?’ Mike asked.
‘You want the truth?’ Mac wondered.
‘Nope.’
‘My grandpa Harry told me that, if you’re afraid or already know the answer don’t ask the question. Such wise advice. The situation will be solved by tomorrow or at least within two days and we can still enjoy our vacation here in Miami.’
‘Where do we meet each other, tomorrow?’ Marcus asked.
‘After breakfast, at the police station, that’s where we meet and then we’ll begin.’
‘I hope we get these --WATCH YOUR LANGUGE--s,’ I said.
‘We’ll get them,’ Sam assured me. ‘We’re going to nail them. It was the last time they ever messed with us.’
‘Don’t worry. With the Miami PD on your side, you can truly nail them,’ Mike said.
‘Gentlemen, we got no time to lose,’ MacGyver said. Let’s go back to our hotel and you two home. Have a goodnight sleep. It’s going to be a busy day tomorrow.’
‘You got that right,’ I said.
(Big loud triumph music comes up here)
The Von Leer brothers arrived back in their little hideout. They brought the contents of the bag inside the harbour. Erich Von Leer went to his office and took a bottle of champagne out of the refrigerator. He gave everyone a glass of champagne, then he stood up on a chair.
‘Can I have a few words?’ he asked. (Music fades away here)
Everybody looked at him.
‘Thank you. I would like to propose a toast to us. We succeeded in what we we’re trying to do. We did it so many times before and succeeded. We finally have real gold,’ he said while he picked up a bar of gold and showed it to everyone. ‘This gold is worth millions and millions of dollars on the black market. We took care of our enemies and now the gold is in our hands. Mine and my brothers family name are restored. To us and the gold.’ Von Leer raised his glass as so did the other around him.
‘To the death of MacGyver,’ a henchman said. (Dangerous tense music comes up)
Now everybody was looking in the henchman’s direction.
‘To MacGyver’s death,’ Erich said raising his glass toward the henchman and then looked at his brother Nikolaus who had pleased smile on his face.
‘Mammon can take the honours. He is the one who killed MacGyver,’ Nikolaus said. ‘Isn’t that right, Mammon?’
‘Yes, sir, Mr. Von Leer. I killed him,’ he said a little doubtfully.
The Von Leers laughed except Mammon who drank his champagne doubtfully.
(The music reaches it's peak again dangerously and loud, then we fade out here)
