When he turned again, the first of their pursuers came pounding up.

"Who the devil would be pounding up rock here in the jungle?"

He walked along the corridor to the front door, and met the officers as they came pounding up on the porch.

He pounded up some sort of powder in a cup and added water.

"Tell them to get here fast, but keep their cool," he said as another set of boots pounded up behind him.

All the while, more footsteps had been pounding up from the stairs below.

He didn't even hear the footsteps pounding up behind him until it was too late.

He pounded up the two flights to reach the roof door.

Then, just as Juan pounded up behind, it snapped open.

He reached a small room, turned right, and pounded up a narrow set of stairs.
