It Haunts

Summary: Spalko knew something about Mutt Jones before they met. What if she told everyone his secret? 'One-shot'

A/N: This takes place after Marion tells Indy about Mutt being his son.

They were tied and bound to spaced spikes in the ground back at the camp they had just tried to escape from. Mutt tried to remove his restraints, but he just couldn't maneuver quite right to get himself free while Spalko was conversing with his parents.

" Tried to get away? Sent a crazed man to get help was very stupid on your part, Dr. Jones." Spalko mused aloud as she turned towards Marion. " My objective was never to use Dr. Oxley because he was never who I wanted."

" Who did you want, lady?" Indy questioned to the pacing woman who gazed at the teenaged boy tied behind his parents. They knew who the gaze referred to, but they couldn't believe it.

" Don't you touch him!" Marion growled, Spalko smirked down at her. She walked till she was in front of Mutt bending down she took her sharp finger nail to his cheek. Blood spilt, while she chuckled.

" Aww, you're mummy looks as if shes going to kill me. It's not my fault you kept the secret from her. Even when you met Dr. Jones you didn't tell him either. Such a horrible child you are, you hold my key to riches of the paranormal and you won't tell." Spalko put her hand around Mutt's neck and squeezed. Air being severed off from his body, her nails sinking into his neck causing blood to flow freely now.

" Let him go, Let him go!" Marion screamed as she noticed a blue tint gracing her sons ashen lips. " He can't breathe!"

" He's going to die, let him go!" Indy demanded in anger. Who did this woman think she was, doing this to his son.

" That's the point." Spalko laughed enjoying the pain she was causing the young boy in front of her, but she knew if she killed him she would never get to where she need to be, what she needed to get. She let him go and he took huge gulps of air into his lungs as she raised her bloody fingers to her mouth and tasted the digits in delight.

Everyone had a disgusted expression on their faces.

" Baby are you alright?" Marion called to her son trying to get a good look at him, but he wouldn't look towards them.

" I'll be fine." He hissed out in pain and looked up at the woman with a fixed glare on his face.

" Really, will you be alright when I tell them about your secret?" Mutt turned from his parents view. He didn't want to know how they would react.

" Tell us what? Why do you want him? What does he have to do with anything?" Indy yelled in fury at the woman. He had been trying to find something on or near his person to help get rid of the restraints so he could go to his son.

" This special child here knows the way to Akator. He has a gift, you see. The spirits guide him though obstacle's and give him clues to figure the ways to achieve his journey, to lead him to a greater glory. He SEES. He sees them even now as we speak." Spalko was giddy, she was happy to explain the child's ability to them all.

Mutt was shaking. At first Marion and Indy thought something was wrong till Mutt looked into her eyes and laughed out right in her face. " You are crazy did you know that. You make me laugh it's so pathetic. I may SEE things differently from others, but it's no gift. "

Mutt paused to think of the right words, " It Haunts..."
