Kicked Out

"Will you keep your bloody mouth shut Lara!" shouted Borman. "How is your throat supposed to heal if you keep irritating it?"

"I will do what I wish to Borman." Said Lara. "No man needs to tell me what to do. I have a mind of my own and gun. I suggest you keep away."

Lara certainly needs something to keep his mind occupied. Her throat hurts and Borman is not helping at all. Hopefully, something of some interest will come her way soon.

Tomb Raiding is not as much fun as it used to be for Lara. She finds it to be the same old thing. There are stacks and stacks of tomb raiding possibilities but nothing sounds much fun. It's all about pyramids and tombs of gods. She wants to go save some place that actually has people are about. Human people. Not rock monsters or mummies.

After a month, Lara's throat was healed and she felt all refreshed. She had beans on toast for breakfast and hadn't heard Borman utter a word all morning. Maybe he had finally understood what she had meant. A woman can decide for herself. Lara had been raiding tombs for a long time and has succeeded in all her attempts. Why would she need a man to help her now?

"What do you think you are doing Borman?" Lara shouting in a tone of severe anger.

"I'm helping you out by making the cyborgs turn off faster." Borman said. He said it calmly, not thinking Lara would be annoyed by this statement.

"You don't think I could've stopped them before? I'm not good enough? Let me tell you something! I've been raiding tombs for a long time and I'm still here! That's more than you have ever done in your whole life and we are the same age!" Lara said so loud that house might have shaked a bit.

"I'm, I'm sorry Lara."

"You better be!!" Lara said and then she strutted off towards her room.

Lara did not come out at all the rest of the day. Not even for a trip to the bathroom, that we would probably consider necessary. Then Borman had enough guts to come into her room. He didn't say anything. Just placed a file on her desk and walked away. After about 5 minutes, Lara picked up the file to see what it was. It was a case. It didn't look like anything she had done before. While she was looking through the papers, a letter fell out. She picked it up and started reading.

Dearest Lara,

I hope you are in good health. You will need it for I have a very important and urgent case before you. This was something your father was hoping to do but failed to even start it before he died.

Project Name: Pollution Solution

Description: There is a severe case of pollution in the area of Miami, Florida. This probably wouldn't be that important as many places have foul odors but this one, well there's something about it. The problem with this odor is that it's deadly. If you inhale this air, you will die within two weeks. It was very weird as the reason for it is unknown and why it is happening is also, unknown. All we know is what I have told you.

Lara, please keep this top secret. Your adventure starts in Washington DC. By the Washington Monument. A one way ticket is enclosed. This time, remember to bring some clothes with you. This may be a very long adventure.

Sincerely,

Anonymous
