The Buried City Episode 5:The storm

1.The next morning, Nadia was woken up by a strange howling sound. At first, she thought it was a wild animal. Then she realized it was the wind. She looked out of the window of her hotel room and saw a terrible sandstorm. It was seven o'clock, but the sun was invisible in the sky. The security guard picked up Mr. Hammed and Nadia at the hotel and drove them to the buried city. Guard: The wind has been blowing since four o’clock this morning. Mr. Hammed: Have you been able to search for the boys? Guard: Some of my men are looking for them now. Wait- I've just received a message on my mobile…I'm sorry, they’ve stopped looking. Now we have to wait for the storm to pass. Mr. Hammed looked at Nadia. They were very worried.

2. Hussein was looking up at the ceiling. Hussein: we've been down here for hours now. What time is it? Tareq: Nine o’clock. Hussein: I’ve been waiting for the sunlight to shine down the hole. Maybe there's a storm outside. Tareq: Well, we’ve got to find a way out of here. They tried to use Hussein's mobile phone to call his father but there was no signal, and the battery was low. Hussein: We’ve been here for a long time now and we still haven't found a way out. Tareq: Don’t worry. We’ll be all right. Then Hussein pointed into the shadow. Hussein: Oh no, Tareq! Look at that!
