Amanda….she has escaped from her test bank in New England and has now stolen a sacred artifact that is hidden in Los Angeles, California. Why there? It makes no sense to hide in a place full of people. But I am going to get back the artifact and I am going to capture Amanda once and for all. I am starting off at her underground home base in Egypt. Wish me luck…. I'll need it.

I walked downstairs to the main room and into Zip's layer. "Hey Zip any new info I should know about?" I asked hopeful. "No just that we have located where Amanda's base is at." He said. I turned towards his computer. It was in Egypt but I couldn't pronounce the name of the town. "Print it out!" I said and walked towards the black sleek printer. It printed out a perfect image of the location. "I know where I am going now." I said and turned back towards the door. "Wait Lara use this micro chip that gets put in your ear….it's waterproof so I can talk to you underwater….just you can't talk back." He smirked and tossed me the small brown and fuzzy chip. I placed it in my ear. "Tell you when I am there" I said. I headed out of the door on to the lawn. It was hot and humid. The summer sun was beating down tremendously which made it even hotter. I ran to the helicopter and jumped. "Take me here." I yelled since the helicopter was on and making a loud noise. He nodded and I sat down and we lifted off. Trying to get back the artifact….Amanda was holding.

"Lara, I can't land, the sand on the ground will cause a sand storm if I get to close…here is a parachute." The captain said giving it to me. I grabbed it and strapped it on. I jumped and pulled the string. I was soaring through the air that felt like 100 degrees. It was worse as I landed. I tore the parachute off my back and ran towards a black knob that was poking out of the sand. As I approached it had a lock. I grabbed out my key and it opened….good. I jumped inside the hole the knob was hiding. I had found it….Amanda's secret lair. When I got to the end of the hole….there she was….that's right….Amanda!
