Larson Conway takes a good look at the almost mansion like house and then down at a file. "This is the place alright." He walks up the driveway and knocks on the door. A few seconds later a short looking unkempt man answered the door.
"The hell do you want?"
"uhh well my name is Larson Conway, I'm here to see Lara Croft is she in?"
The man lets out a sigh, "I'm Lara my dad was an asshole, I really prefer to be called L. Come in and make it quick, I have plans later involving Cinemax."
A look of confused and slight fear washed over Larson's face but he had a job that unfortunately requires the aid of this strange man. "Thank you very much.", he said as he walked in. The house was impressive on the inside with the living room being massive in size, however it seemed very empty. He thought not to mention it and took a seat on one of the chairs. L sat down across from him and took a drink of a knock off cola, "Want one?" He said lifting it up.
"No thanks, I'm actually here for some important business." Larson opened the file and took out a page and began reading from it.
"Lara... sorry L Croft, famed archaeologist who never allows pictures taken on any site they work on." "Though now I see why", he thought to himself.
"Yeah dude we all know that part, lets skip the history lesson and you tell me why you're here."
"I represent an employer named Jacqueline Natla, owner of Natla Technologies."
"Oh yeah I've heard of them, they play everything close to the chest. I respect that." L said while scratching his crotch.
Larson tried his best not to look disgusted and took a deep breath. "Look I'll level with you we want to hire you to excavate a tomb in Peru called the Qualopec and find an artifact."
"Oh yeah I heard they recently found that. What exactly do you need me to find there Mr. Conner?"
"It's Conway, we need you to find something called the Scion, We'll pay for for all expenses and give you a bonus after finding the artifact, but do you think a man of your... age can handle a tomb that was lost to time? You don't really seem spry like I've heard."
Lara smiles at that and stands up. he turns toward the island counter in his kitchen. The counter was about 5 feet wide. L took a runner's stance and shot like a bullet towards it. About half a foot away from it he jumps doing a flip in the air and lands on the other side. "Eat shit Conner."
"How the fuck did you do that?" Conway said with eyes wide open. L walked to the fridge and got another soda and took a long drink. "Same way a woman works up the courage to have sex with you, effort." He said with a chuckle. "Give me a week to get ready and I'll do it."
"Mrs. Natla will very much appreciate the good news, I'll be back next week to pick you up." Conway said while putting the file back together.
Lara walked back to the chair and sat down. He turned on the tv and turned back to Conway. "Sounds good now get the hell out, they got twins on tonight." He said while motioning to the door with the remote. Conway did a little bow and walked to the door. He opened it and took a step outside. He took a deep breathe, "Man that guy was an asshole."
