第30話: フジタとラモスがサハラ砂漠でトゥアレグのガイドに裏切られる

30

A wealthy man asks Fujita to acquire a prehistoric rock painting for a new restaurant. Fujita travels to the Sahara with Ramos but he finds that his local Tuareg guide, Iksa, was murdered. However, Iksa's widow Assarama and Iksa's uncle Mohammad agree to guide them and they head for the Tassili n'Ajjer mountain range. Near the mountains, Assarama and Muhammad pull guns on Fujita and Ramos. They accuse Fujita of not paying the second half of the fee for his last expedition, leading to Iksa's death from money-lenders. Assalama and Muhammad leave them in the desert to die, however Mohammad returns to negotiate a higher fee to save them. Meanwhile, Assarama re-checks for the payment at a different bank. She finds that the money was deposited, however the account was fake, set up by Muhammad who stole the money. She returns to rescue Fujita and Ramos who manage to turn the tables on Muhammad, this time leaving Muhammad stranded in the desert without fuel. (Source: Wikipedia)
