"Um, Professor.." Andi approached her teacher directly after class.
She'd been trying to catch him for three days, but Dr. Jones always
scampered out of the room too quickly to be caught by anyone. Andi was
nearly positive it had to do with the numerous amounts of college girls
gathered around his desk every morning before and after session. Not that
Andi could blame him for leaving, but this was beginning to get
frustrating. She was just becoming kind of pissy, to be totally honest.
Professor Jones looked up for a moment, but quickly continued stuffing papers in his briefcase, "I, uh, I have a meeting with Professor .." He mumbled some name that Andi couldn't understand and most likely wasn't anyone's name at all.
"No, no, no," She held up my hands defensively, "I really just need to talk to you about class. Well, not class," Andi relented honestly, "but archeology."
He shot her an uneasy look but replied, "Alright. Follow me, but I'm warning you now, this could be dangerous." Andi raised her eyebrow skeptically. "I'm serious, come on."
Andi ventured behind Professor Jones into the hallway where a hoard of students, mostly girls of course, flocked towards the duo. Andi let out a laugh, which became more of a shriek as one particularly aggressive girl pushed her backwards. Professor Jones definitely wasn't kidding. Relief flooded Andi's pained head when they finally reached the office door. "Take a seat," Dr Jones directed.
Andi glanced around the unorthodox office. It must have previously been some kind of janitorial closet. Where most teachers would have a bookshelf, Professor Jones had a heater. She turned to her right and noticed a large metal rack filled with artifacts; broken vases, clay bowls and other random things. No chairs, other than the one Professor Jones was in, were in the room. So Andi grabbed the nearest thing to it. A bucket. Making herself as comfortable as possible, Andi looked up at Dr. Jones waiting face. "Ok." She began with a sigh, "I've heard stories and stuff about all the things you do, but I really am just wondering if archeology is really that exciting."
Dr. Jones laughed, "Only for me, kid."
"And.. Why's that?"
"I guess you can say I do things a.. different way from everybody else." He responded with a grin.
Andi wasn't finished though. "How so?"
Professor Jones rolled his eyes, " I.." He waved his hands around, trying to convey a little hidden meaning.
"Oh," Andi sighed in mock understanding, "you take other people's things."
Dr Jones froze for a second. "Who are you?"
"Andi Falit."
"You know, If this is all you came in here to talk about, we-" he stared gruffly at Andi. "How old are you?"
"Fifteen."
Professor Jones leaned back in his chair. Why hadn't he noticed sooner, this girl wasn't in college, she was just a kid. "What are you doing here?"
Andi grinned, "Have you ever heard of the Ark of the Covenant?"
Author's note: don't worry; I know where I'm going with this. And yes, I do realize Indy has already found the ark. And yes, this IS after The Last Crusade. Read and review, I love the input, Indy fans!
