Disclaimer: I do not own Indiana Jones. I just own this storyline. lol. And also a few of the characters that I invented for the use of this story.
It was a beautiful day in New York. It was still spring but already the temperature was beginning to rise to a new high, signaling that summer was closer than ever. The May sun was scorching but the cool spring breezes made the heat bearable. The scent of flowers could be enjoyed from anywhere even through the open window of a college classroom were doctor Jones was intently lecturing. The class was sitting in pure boredom listening to what seemed to be the best sleep remedy possible. Doctor Jones had just finished scribbling notes on the board when Marcus Brody came in and sat down. Jones gave his guest a quick glance and continued on.
"Ok, now if any of you have any questions about you final exams I will be in my office today and Friday," he said tiredly. Just as he was picking up a glass of water to take a drink, the bell let out a loud ring." Make sure to study for your tests or else I'll be seeing you again next year," he shouted slightly as they all got up to leave. He started erasing the board to get it ready for the end of the year exams. Something seemed to be troubling Jones though he acted fine he looked depressed about something. Marcus strolled over to the desk and tried to cheer him up.
"Is something the matter Indy, you look upset?" Marcus said, in his soft gentle voice.
"Marcus, you know how I love the feeling of adventure and danger," he said, with quivering lips," but I'm afraid it's getting harder to do anymore".
"You're not that bad yet Indy, you can still do a lot of stuff people your age could only dream of. Besides, I came to give you something that was in the paper, thought you might be interested."
"Maybe, depends on what it is," Indy said in a rater harsh voice," not another awards ceremony that will just put another trophy on my wall for just being a broke down professor with nothing better to do than just teach."
"No, see for yourself."
Indy took the paper and read the headline which read Ancient Ruins Found in South America. As Indy read further the paper described the location vaguely as to not attract onlookers or robbers. The part that caught Indy's attention told about how the site might have some connection to the legendary city of gold, Elderodo. Next to the section was a picture of one of the sites with a woman standing near by. She was beautiful in more ways than one. Her light brown hair flowed like silk down to her perfectly shaped shoulders were it rested in delicate curls. Her face was astounding and the smile she wore would warm even the coldest heart. Her green eyes seemed to stare out of the page right at Indy.
"Indy, they called us requesting that we send them the best scholar we have, and the college chose you."
"I'll do it" Indy said suddenly.
"Are you sure Indy, you didn't act like you gave it much thought."
"What's to think about?" Indy said with a small chuckle, "It could turn out to be the biggest chance of a lifetime, besides I need a vacation."
"Ok, I'll let them know your coming, your ticket and passport has already been taken care of."
"Thanks Marcus, for everything," he said shaking Marcus' hand. With that Indy walked out leaving Marcus in the empty classroom.
