Chapter 6 - The Uncertain Path

Ben rode to the public library. Gwen joined him. They sorted all the books containing all kind of information about center of the earth. Most were included the subject of Mineralogy and Geography.

'Professor Axel told that Professor Lidenbrock was a mineralogist too.' Gwen said while turning down the pages of a book.

'And he also had the expertise on Geography' Ben said.

Gwen's cell phone rang.

'Yes Kevin!' She attended.

'Where are you?' Kevin asked.

'In library. And you?'

'Oh I am joining you in just five minutes. Be there till I come. Is Ben there with you?

'Yup he is with me'

'Ok I am just arriving' the call disconnected.

'Kevin is joining us. We have to wait.' Gwen said.

'Sure! Perhaps he had some clue.' Ben suggested.

'May be.' She answered.

Suddenly Kevin rushed in.

'Wow so quick!' Ben laughed.

'Oh man it's my fast and furious you can't estimate its speed…' Kevin proudly said.

'Oh Mr. Fast and Furious! What you got?' Gwen interrupted him.

'I have found that man Hans' Kevin answered.

'So what is the news then?' Gwen asked.

"He is too old and weak to travel. Even he cannot speak properly.' Kevin said

'Then? What to do now?' Ben worriedly asked

'Don't be upset Ben! We will find some clue our self.' Gwen tried to move him.

'I will find another way than. It is matter of honour for me and Tennyson family now.' Ben was much passionate. Gwen opened her laptop and typed. She was searching the clue. Ben picked the world map.

'Journey to the center of the earth.. Why should not journey through the center of the earth.' Ben spoke in strong voice.

'Aee... What!' Kevin exclaimed.

'Ben! What is that?' Gwen looked him. 'Have you got something?'

'We should travel through the poles' Ben said calmly.

'Wow it looks adventurous' Kevin said.

'It's wonderful Idea Ben. Let's sort out the ways.' Gwen closed her eyes and started concentrating over the matter. She sat in yoga style and was in the air for some time. 'I got it.' She said.

'What?' Ben and Kevin both asked in same voice.

'A crater at Norway, at the land of midnight sun.' She answered.

'A land of midnight… sun!' Kevin was amazed.

'Yes Kevin.' She said. 'The place, where sun doesn't set. We have to go there. Kevin…'

'Prepare your Rust bucket III we have to fly to Norway by this afternoon. I suggest' Kevin interrupted her. She smiled back.
