Chapter 1:

So this is gonna be a little rough at the start and I apologize. I'll let you in on a little secret, I killed Marion between the Fountain and this one… BUT I thought you (the readers) would like it if I DIDN'T kill her. So this will start off a little challenging cause in my original she is still dead. So I appreciate the patience! R&R!


1964: Russia

"I just want to know what we are doing here!" Indiana shouted. He and Marion were being escorted, more like pushed, down a rather dark hallway. In a thick Russian accent the man responded, "You are here to see the Colonel. Walk quietly." He gave Marion a quick shove around the corner. "Take your hands off me!" She tried to fight back but was quickly whipped back around and kept walking.

After a few more minutes of walking they approached a heavy metal door. "This way, Dr. Jones. Your 'knowledge' is requested. Step inside." The man opened the door to a dimly lit room. There was a metal desk and a chair with an occupant way too small for the leather chair. A single lamp shone on the desk, letting off a harsh glare. The walls were dark grey and reflected no light. There was a giant filing cabinet off to the side that was overflowing with papers. Indiana and Marion stepped inside very cautiously. The big Russian man came back with two cold, metal chairs and set them down. The Jones couple sat down and stared at the back of the chair.

A woman with a light Russian accent spoke, "Comfortable, Doctor?" Indiana gave out a small laugh. "Please, Doctor. This is rather important." She whipped around in her chair. "Dad?!"

"Ana?!"

"Oh shit… oh my God! Can't they do anything right?!" Ana started. She started mumbling in slightly broken Russian. "They got the wrong Jones. I wanted Dr. Jones who specialized in medicine. Confidential."

"You're a colonel?! You are supposed to be in college, Ana!" Marion shouted.

"You're committing treason!" Her father offered.

"I know! I know!" Ana shouted back. "Wanna know why I stopped calling?"

"Thrill us." Indiana responded with a dry tone.

"About a year ago a few brutes show up at my dorm door. Kidnap me, they bring me here. They put me in control; I'm now a colonel. I know it doesn't make much sense but that's why I'm here. I was kidnapped."

"Well why didn't you call us?" Indiana began.

"I can fight myself, dad."

"You are in no position to fight, Ana Jones." Marion supplied.

"Forget it." Ana spat. She lit a cigarette and started smoking. "Can you answer a couple questions for me?"

"Possibly. What do you have?" Indiana asked.

"Not much. Petty questions." Right before Ana could take another drag Indiana took the cigarette out of her hands and smashed it on the ground. "These things will kill you." Ana laughed in disbelief, "This hasn't been proven yet." Indiana and Marion stared at her, "It's a hunch."

"So? You both used to smoke."

"Ana, please listen to your father." Marion pleaded. Ana began laughing, "What has Mutt been up to lately?" She took out another cigarette until Indiana growled. She put it away and threw them into her desk drawer.

Indiana and Marion shifted very uncomfortably in their seats while Ana continued laughing lightly. Her tone went serious very quickly, "Is he okay?" Marion and Indiana looked at each other than back at Ana.

"Yeah, he's just fine." Marion began.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing…" Indiana stated. "He's somewhere in New York right now. I'm not quiet sure what he's doing or how he's doing specifically." He let out a quick cough. "He's married."

Ana smirked in disbelief. "Married?!" She began laughing. "When did this happen?"

"Rather soon after you left for college." Marion supplied. "It was a spur of the moment occasion, so that's why you weren't there."

"Spur of the moment?" Ana questioned.

"She's not from America." Indiana said. "She's French. Mutt's kinda girl, you know?"

"Yeah…You guys went on an adventure without me? How rude…" She had a twinkle of amusement in her eyes and a set of frustration in her jaw. "Sorry, Ana." Marion apologized.

"How did they meet?" Ana asked again; her face still holding amusement and curiosity. Indiana and Marion shifted awkwardly in their seats again. After the two of them exchanged a few glances Indiana started the topic. "She was our… escort's daughter." Ana's face fell. "Oh God… he didn't…stop, right there." Indiana had no intention in stopping, "I went to his… uhm…"

Ana slammed her head on the table and covered her ears "Stop it! I get it!" Marion let out a silent chuckle while Indy continued, "They were just kissing… glad I caught them then…" Ana looked up, "Yeah, no shock." Indiana was beaming at her childish emotions, "Married right after the adventure. We were gone for a real long time… almost a year. There a few things I'll leave out…"

"Good… what?" Ana asked.

"You can talk to Mutt about the rest… when he comes back." Marion said.

"Anything else I should know that isn't…explicit?" Ana slowly droned on. She picked up a pencil and started fiddling around and flipping it in her fingers. Indiana let out a very small laugh and then became very solemn. "He was drafted."

Ana dropped her pencil and started at her dad in disbelief. She slowly moved her stare to Marion for reassurance. All she did was nod and Ana swallowed hard. "As in… Vietnam? The Vietnam War?"

"The Marines." Marion stated.

"Why?! Why did he join the Marines?! Does he want to die?!"

Indiana let out a cold laugh and said, "If he could survive this family, he can survive the war." Marion quickly added, "His tour is over in a little more than a month." She pulled a notepad out of a canvas bag, "35 days, to be exact."

Ana's eyes popped out of her head, "He's short. He better watch his back… Wait a minute! I thought he was in college!"

"It's Mutt, Ana…" Indiana began, "He dropped out." He scoffed a little bit, "At least he finished high school. Why are we here?"

"I didn't want for you to be here… I love you two but you know. You can stay here if you want or I can send you back home. It's your choice."

The Russian man stepped back into the room. "Dov—Jones. We have prepared the boat." Ana stood up so fast her chair rolled back into the wall. "We are not going! You hear me, Franz?"

"I believe it is of top priority." Franz stated coolly. Ana pulled up her chair and sat back down while her parents stared at her in shock. "Fine!" She slammed her head on her desk, "Get ready then…" Franz left and she looked back up.

"You are handling this all very maturely, Ana." Indiana said with a laugh.

"What's going on?" Marion asked.

"They think they found Atlantis…Since I am your daughter, technically anyway, they think I can find it with ease. Not only that, but bring back high-tech weaponry and stuff for Russia's use. Not that great of a job… that's what this is." She pointed to an open folder on the desk. "Bunch of false research, if you ask me." She sighed in disappointment, "If you want I can send you back home now."

"And miss the chance to see Atlantis?" Marion began. Indy finished, "Yeah right." Ana smirked and laughed, "I had a feeling you would say that." She quickly picked up her jacket and escorted her parents out of her office, "Let's go."


I hope you are enjoying it so far! R&R PLEASE!
