Before ascending the treacherous stairwell Indiana used the various breaks in the corridor wall to retrieve his gun and whip from the floor of the chamber of false gold. Indy then followed the others up the stairs, now running in the last position. Bridget's comment about their lack of transportation worried Walter and the others greatly. But as they passed the fairy ring and then the rocky bend where they had initially pulled up in the jeep they noticed two vehicles, where there should have been none. At that moment they realized that when Niclas and his soldiers had appeared within the chamber below they had only just arrived at the mound minutes before. The two wayward soldiers that they had encountered within the corridors were not a part of their party, the Nazi's in fact, knew nothing of the location of the mound. It was true that the four scholars had the sword in their possession, but it was equally as true, that they had unwittingly led their enemies to the sword in the first place. This rather distasteful realization was of little importance at present. With Indiana in the drivers seat, Abigail at his side and the others in the back, the jeep drove off. Indiana pulled out his weapon and disabled the other vehicle with several well placed shots. The had not won the day yet, for as they drove away they saw a Bachem 349 interceptor flying above them.
