Hello again! I'm afraid I won't be very regular in getting these chapters up. I decided to go ahead with the story anyway, so those who want to read it should check regularly!

Disclaimer: I don't own Indiana Jones. All I own (for the moment) is Estelle.

Chapter 1

"Indy!" Estelle cried.

"Quiet!" Indiana shushed her, then he gave a low chuckle. "You said yourself that they could still be here,"

"Indy…" she looked up into her big brothers eyes.

Indiana saw the worried look in her eyes "What is it? No ones hurt are they? No ones-"

"No one's done anything. But I think dad's been kidnapped," she handed him the note she had found on the door post. Indiana silently read it, then, carefully, went in the back door. Estelle followed.

The place was devastated.

Indiana whistled "Who ever did this knows how to do their job!"

Estelle simply gasped and looked around with wide eyes. She moved to pick up her book that she saw lying nearby.

"Don't touch anything unless I tell you to!" Indiana said, sharply. Estelle snatched her hand back.

He sighed, "Sorry, I didn't mean to be so sharp. It's just…well I came home for a rest and what do I find? A complete mess! It's like no one can live without getting themselves into some sort of trouble!"

"Well we don't all have your perfect record Henry!" Estelle snapped back. He winced. She never called him Henry unless she was really, really angry or upset. In this case, it must have been because she was upset.

"I wasn't saying that-"

"I know very well what you were saying. You were blaming me for this, this…" she struggled to find the right words, "How can you come back here and not expect something to have happened? How can you arrive home and blame everything that has happened on me?! I'm at work all day, and I usually come home to a warm house to find that dad's already made the dinner so I can just relax! And you expect me to make sure that nothing like this happens?! Because I know exactly how to handle this! It happens everyday! How stupid of me to think otherwise!" and she stalked out the house, leaving Indiana staring after her. She had never done this to him before. She had always been a calm and collected person. It was him and their father that did all the worrying and shouting, usually.

Indiana went outside too to see what Estelle was doing. She was sitting on the garden bench with her head in the hands, crying. He sat next to her and put his arm around her shoulders.

"I'm sorry for being such a jerk. I know it isn't your fault. I…I…"

Estelle looked up at him, still crying, "I know it's not your fault, Indy," she said between sobs, "It's just that dad's been away for 3 weeks and I really missed him! It's bad enough you living in New York where I can't see you as regularly as I would like! You should hear how dad goes on! Especially about how the two of you found the Holy Grail! It hurts to think that you did all this with out me knowing! And know dads been kidnapped! Or rather adultnapped!" She laughed weakly at her own joke, and then buried her head into Indiana's shoulder and began crying again.

Indiana put both arms around her, pulled her onto his lap and held her like a small child, which was what she was to him. She was only up to his chin!

"Hush, hush. It's all right. Every thing will be fine. Once we've tidied this place up we'll go and get dad back. Then once we're all back home I promise I'll come and visit you every week!" he whispered in her ear.

Estelle laughed again, "You know you'll never live up to that Indy."

Indiana smiled. It was good to have an excuse for an adventure again.

Hope you enjoyed it! Please review! I'm not sure where Indy is supposed to live so I chose New York. Let me know if I'm wrong!

Yours,

The-Worlds-Naneth
