Lara Croft & Indiana Jones
In Search for The Triangle of Light
I feel so sad as I talk to my father for the last time in a tent in some unknown location. He appears calm and saddened. He tells me to destroy the Triangle of Light and not to stop his death from happening, for time is sacred and one cannot change it. No matter how hard I try to tell him that our time together was stolen from us he presses on telling me it's to late for him, but that I can still save the world from an impending doom. I agree and we both reach out and barely touch each others hands, and everything gets bright and I can't see anymore then suddenly I am thrust back into what was supposed to be present day in the tomb in Siberia where I had left Manfred Powell and the now deceased Alex West. But I was not back where I was before but instead somewhere else. I was now standing in what appeared to be an empty college classroom. I turned around and went to the desk that now rest in front of me and saw a name plate resting on it. I reach out to grab it and read the name "Prof. Henry Jones Jr." and started to wonder where I was. I looked outside and immediately realized I was no longer in Siberia, but somewhere in the New England region of the United States of America. I hear footsteps outside of the door and see a figure through the unclear glass window on it and the door opens. A man in his thirty's wearing a suit and glasses carrying several papers a briefcase and wearing a hat. He stares at me stunned that I am now standing in his classroom. He sets his stuff on the floor. "Who are you, and what are you doing in my classroom?". I reply "I am Lara Croft. I assume your Professor Henry Jones Jr." He has now removed his hat and placed it on the coat rack "Yeah, I am now tell me why your here." I respond "To be honest professor I have no idea how I got here or why I'm here." He begins to look very flustered that I haven't given him an answer he would have understood and walks in my direction and puts his right hand on his head and then drops it to his side. "Okay, listen here Ms. Croft, I have no idea who you are or what you want but- He takes time to look at his watch- "I have a class in an hour and in that hour I expect you to either give back what you have stolen and stashed in that bag of yours or tell me what you came here to steal." I am shocked at first that he would think of me as a thief and then realized that in his position I do appear to be a thief since I have appeared unannounced. He signals me to sit on one of the chairs in the room and I take one, he then sits behind his desk after locking his door. I begin to speak. "Now professor as hard as this may seem to believe I am not here to steal from you, I genuinely have no idea how I got here or why I have arrived here in this place." He appears to have gotten very upset now and raises his hand at me "Now listen here lady, I know you had to be sent here by someone to steal from me, so don't give me that crock about you not knowing how you got here, your not German, so who sent you? Or are there English helping Hitler out these days?" I start to get very confused. "Sir, Hitler is already- I stopped talking and realized that the triangle had taken me back to WWII era America. "Excuse me Professor Jones but I must be going." He gets up right after I start heading to the door and grabs me by the arm "Whoa lady your not going anywhere, you have a lot left to answer." I take my arm away from his grasp "No we have nothing left to say to one another and I am leaving, I have something very important to attend to". "No your not going anywhere. Now sit down right- I hit him in the face and unlock the door to the classroom and rush out down the hall. I can hear him screaming down the hall for me as his shoes hit the floor. I then turn the corner and hear an older man call for the professor. "Henry my boy, what are you hollering about?" He stops running. "Marcus, there's this woman that just appeared in my office I was trying to get her to explain why she was there, I think she was trying to rob me!" I peer around the corner as the older man "Marcus" has he started to speak to the professor. "Oh Henry, it was probably some joke one of the students thought they would pull on you with some girl. It's nothing to get fussy about." The professor starts to look anxious. "Marcus, the lady was definitely not some girl hired by the kids here for a joke, besides she was dressed in some strange outfit, probably some covert uniform from the military and now she's getting away!" The Marcus fellow looks puzzled. "Now Henry, why would the military be sending women to steal from you? Especially from here in your classroom? You have been working to hard! It wouldn't surprise me if it was a practical joke of some sort, now why don't you just go home early and get some rest, I will call a substitute immediately you are just to stressed out. "No Marcus, I'll stay. Your right, I was over reacting. I'll just go back to the classroom and wait for my students." I watched the older man walk down the hall away from where I had hid and watched the professor walk into his office, I then darted out of that place and headed to the next place I could get some supplies to use to find the triangle. Where that place was I had no idea. When I would find it and what I would find there was a mystery all the same.
