Time froze. Then Tristan shouted, ‘Of course you can get out! You have to.’ Ollie started to sob, and Edmund pointed to a thin stream of water trickling down the tunnel towards them. The rain that had started when Tiffany got to the cave was flowing all the way through from the entrance hole. There was already water below Tiffany. If more flowed in … Don’t go down the shaft! Nim wished at the stream, but of course it did. She looked at Edmund and could tell he was thinking the same thing. ‘I know Lance and Leonora want to steal the fossil,’ said Nim, ‘but they’d have to help if we ask – they’ve got ropes and stuff, and they know about rocks. I’m going back to find them.’ ‘I’ll go the other way,’ Edmund said. ‘It’s definitely lighter ahead, and there are glow-worms again – we mustn’t be far from the end of the tunnel. If I can get out that way, I can get back to camp for tools.’ ‘What if this fills up before you get back?’ Tiffany shouted.
