Chapter 2
She awoke to the sounds of footsteps. She looked around surprised that she had fell asleep. Alister.
"Hi Alister." She said to him as he stood in the doorway. "Hello Lara." Smiling at her He walked over to one of the bookshelves in search for a book. Once he found what he was looking for he went out of the room and back down the stairs to the main desk.
Lara got up going down the stairs as Alister had. He was at the desk doing what he liked to do; research. She smiled and headed down to the kitchen. She needed food.
A few sausages and some toast later, she found herself in the gym. The metal of the poles felt good under her hot hands as she swung from pole to pole, handhold, crevice and ladder. A while later as she was in mid swing she heard a voice from behind her.
"Ms. Croft..." the voice began as she grabbed a hand hold and left herself down carefully. Winston. "Yes?" she replied as she grabbed a nearby towel to wipe the bits of sweat off her face. "You had a phone call, however it was quite odd I thought."
Lara raised that trademark eyebrow in question.
"Well, the voice seemed...distorted...there was noise in the background...they demanded they talk to you, yet I told them you were busy at the moment," he nodded towards the poles she had just swung from, "So I asked if they wished to leave a message..." he paused for a moment and began again, "So they did. If I am correct the words were along the line of, "I know the location of something she will want and how to get it. We need to make a deal...I will call back." and then they hung up before I could say anything else."
"Hm." was the reply he got as Winston saw Lara get deep in thought the wheels in her head trying to turn.
After a moment she said, "Big business dealer of a sort perhaps trying to stay anonymous." She was not sure but was now really curious to know. "Thank you though Winston. I am sure we'll sort this out tomorrow."
Winston nodded as Lara put the towel over her shoulder, he knew she was going to go shower. "One more thing," he added before they both left the gym, "Anaya called, she said she had something interesting to tell you and to call her back when you have the chance." "I will. Thank you Winston." She headed off to go shower.
When she was done she wrapped herself in a towel and tied her hair in a ponytail. It dried slightly and she went and dressed. Wearing a white shirt and black leather pants, she walked downstairs. Zip saw her and called her over before she began to head outside.
"Yes Zip?" she asked, walking into his office.
"Take a look at this," he motioned to the screen. Lara looked over his shoulder as he hit a few buttons and the security cameras popped up. One showed in the hallway on the way to the study. "What is it?" she asked, crossing her arms, her voice curious.
The camera moved and zoomed.
"That." Zip answered as the camera showed the tables that held the lamps knocked over Things were scattered all over the floor. It was a mess.
"I had lost the cameras signal, I thought that there was just some interference, so right when I tried to
fix it the camera suddenly cut on as fast as it had cut out." Lara stared, deep in thought. "I was just going to call you but you were on your way here already."
"What about Alister?" Lara asked remembering he had been in the study earlier. "He left. He went out to..." Zip began.
"Right, well keep an eye out." Lara told him cutting him off, Zip smiled and nodded, "Of course." She walked out and began to head to the study. What in the world happened?
