Indiana Jones

and the

Invisible Problem

Written 2001



Chapter One


"This can't be true!" Indiana Jones looked up from the newspaper that Marcus had handed him a moment before.


"Read it again." Marcus encouraged. Indy did. It read:


If rumors are true we could soon be facing something much worse than the Nazi storm troopers. Rumor has it that Hitler's got something big up his sleeve. A new kind of bomb? Some even suspect aliens from outer space. The Government has little proof of this "Thing" but they are sending in people to find out more about it. One of these such people is archeologist and history Professor Dr. Henery Jones Jr. He is a...


Here Indy stopped reading. "So, how come no one told me about this?" He asked.


"I don't know, but you will go, won't you?" Indy leaned back in his chair and thought a moment.


"Yeah, I'll go for good old America but I'll never do anything for the Government again after this little stunt they pulled on me."

A couple of days later Indy sat on a plane headed for Germany. He was wearing a navy blue buissness suit and his hat. He looked out the window as they flew over a German castle then he looked back down at the papers he held in his hands. They were instructions from the Government about where to stay and who his contacts in Germany were. Indy was tempted to throw the instructions away, he was not use to doing things by the book. But instead he read them then put them away. According to the instructions when he got to Germany he was to go to a hotel by the name of Herr (Mr.) Dolfmier's Inn. Herr Dolfmier was a German who was loyal to America and so he served as a kind of spy for them. After meeting up with him Indy was to try to find out anything he could about the operation of the Nazis. Indy figured he would just kidnap one and force him to talk.


A few hours later the plane landed and Herr Dolfmier met Indy as soon as he stepped off the plane.


"I am pleased to meet you Dr. Jones!" Herr Dolfmier said as he pumped Indy's arm up and down. My gosh, Indy thought, This guy is seriously drinking to much coffee. After freeing his hand from Dolfmiers grasp Indy spoke.


"Uh... good to meet you too. I have all of my luggage so I'm ready to roll." Dolfmier smiled, reveraling a missing tooth in the front.


"Yes, sir! Right this way." Indy followed him through the crowded airport and out to a little red car. "Put your things in the back and climb in." The little German said. Indy threw his stuff in the back seat then slid into the passenger seat next to Dolfmier. Dolfmier starteed the car and drove through the city and out into the country and up to the front of a gerogeous old mansion. Indy whistled tipping his hat back on his head.


"Nice place!" He said. After being shown to his room on the second floor and promising to come down for supper in an hour, he was finely left alone. After unpacking he took out a map that showed where all of the Nazi headquarters were, that America knew about at least. Lets see. If the town we passed through on the way here was Lindonberg then the nearest Nazi headquarters should be here. He pointed to a red square on the map that symbolized an old brick building that was 35 miles north of where he was now. Drat! It'll take me at least an hour and a half to get there. Hmmm... He tipped his chair back. If they all get off work at 10:00pm tonight then I can leave at 8:30 tonight. I can get there about the time that everyone from that shift is leaving. I can kidnap one, make him talk and then get back to the U. S. Indy looked happy a moment the he frowned. How am I suppoed to go anywhere without a car? He asked himself. Just then someone knocked at his door. "Its open." He said. A girl of about sixteen came in. She had light blond hair wound up in a bun and dark gray eyes. She walked over to Indy and held out a pair of car keys.


"these are for you Dr. Jones. My father says you will need transportation while you are here. These are for a blue truck that is in the garage."


"Thanks." He took the keys from her dainty hand and tossed them onto the desk. "Who are you anyway?" He asked. The young woman smiled, showing perfectly straight white teeth.


"I, sir, am Kathrina Dolfmier."


"Oh, so your Dad runs this place?"


"Yes, sir, he does." She looked as if she were going to say something else but stopped. The she seemed to change her mind and she opened her mouth and spoke hurridly. "Is it true, Dr. Jones that you are here to help stop the war?"


"Maybe." He said and looked up at her. When he looked up at her Kathrina thought her heart would melt. His gray eyes were so mysterious, at least she thought so. She had heard so much about him in the papers and on the radio and now here she was actually talking to this man who braved Nazis and poinsonis snakes to free helpless women and help other people. Indy was still looking up at her waiting for her to ask another question. She was just stairing at him though. In her mind's eye she was imagening herself being rescued by him. He could tell she was stairing at him without really seeing him. He sighed, now another teenage girl had a crush on him. "Its not like I don't have enough of them in my classes but now here too?" Kathrina snapped back to reality.


"What?" She asked.


"Nothin'. Thanks for the keys."


"Your welcome Dr. Jones!" She turned to go, still dreaming of him. Indy chuckled to himself and turned back to his map. After studying it some more he folded it up and put it away then changed in to his regular outfit of tan pants and a white button up shirt. He glanced up at the clock. 7:15, only an hour and fifteen minutes to go. He heard someone calling that supper was ready so he opened his door and went down stairs.
