He stopped what he was doing and began to walk over to us in a slow manner as to give nothing away. He knelt down by the side of the huge boulder that we was crouching behind and went to pick up his material. Corcoran grabbed the boy's arm and said to him softly, " what is this place? What are you doing here?"

The boy looked at Corcoran and shock his head without uttering any words'. He grabbed his material and pulled away from the grasps' of his clutches'. The boy backed away in a shy manner and started to work once again. Corcoran was set on questioning the boy, as to what was being established in the room. " I have to talk to him, I need to know what is happening down here." He said. We sat down for a while behind the rock face until the workers' became tired.

The dwelling, lit by flamed candles around the rough walls, dimmed and the room fell into a shadowy light. The workers retreated backwards into the cave space, where they had a basic living quarters but nothing was more than knee height in standard. Collapsing down onto the floor bedding, one by one they started to drift into sleep. We waited until there was no noise to be hard. We began to creep on towards the sleeping bodies....
