I don't own Indiana Jones of the Mummy. I beg you please review! lol No Flames!!


Layla held back the urge to insult the 'Mutt' in front of her and merely said,

"A pleasure to meet you." She forced a smile praying her disgust wouldn't be noticeable. But of course Alex did and sniggered.

Mutt walked up and stood in front of the twins, looking Layla up and down once again, causing Layla to become even more annoyed.

"The pleasure is all mine baby doll." Mutt winked before making his way into the house.

Once alone, Layla looked to Alex wide eyed, and open-mouthed.

"Did that…thing just wink at me?" She said utterly repulsed.

Alex burst into laughter finding the whole situation more hilarious then worrisome. Layla glared at her brother as she stalked into the house. But not before turning and smacking her brother in the back of the head.

"Ow!" Alex complained softly, following his sister into the house.

When they entered the library once again Mutt, Marion and, whom could only be, Dr. Indiana Jones. It was plain to see where Mutt got much of his looks, and mannerisms. Dr. Jones stood searching for something in one of the bookcases. Layla looked for a place to sit as far away from Mutt as possible but found all the seats to be taken but the one space left on the love seat on which Mutt sat. Looking at her brother, she sighed in annoyance and sat down reluctantly. Alex stood behind her, placing a protective, comforting hand on her shoulder.

Dr. Jones was rattling on about the 'good old days' back when Evie and him went to school together. When he turned around, he held a thick, leather bound photo album in his hands, a huge grin on his handsome face.

"I cannot believe you still have these!" Evie practically shouted taking the album from Indy's hands and opening to the first page. Indy stood behind her glancing at the photos while Rick leaned over to look from his chair.

In a matter of minutes laughter had filled the room as Indy and Evie told the rest of the group stories.

Layla and Alex were laughing hysterically, hearing about how their mother had read several things aloud that caused Indy, herself, and their group in serious trouble when they where in Egypt.

"Don't tell me…" Rick said with a mocking grin. "Nothing bad ever came from reading a tablet right?" Indy and the O'Connell's all burst into even more laughter. Marion and Mutt not quite getting the joke, both raised their eyebrows in confusion.

"I don't get it." Mutt said when the laughing died down.

"What a shock!" Alex whispered in Layla's ear. Layla laugh once before clasping her hand over her mouth. The other five looked at the twins questioningly.

"What's so funny baby doll?" Mutt asked simply.

"Mr. Jones," Alex addressed Mutt before Layla could even utter a sound.

"I would appreciate it, if you would refrain from calling my sister your 'baby doll' or 'darling'. Not only do I find it rather infuriating, I am also looking out for your physical well being."

Mutt smiled and raised an amused eyebrow. "How are you looking out for my physical well being Alex?"

"Well my sister has a very short temper. And I am almost positive that you enjoy the current placement of all your limbs and organs." He finished very nonchalantly.

The room was silent for a moment and Layla thought that her brother might have just ruined her chances of staying here for the next few years. Her fears subsided though, when the room burst once again into laughter. All except Mutt that is who just wore a mischievous smirk.

Marion then announced that they should get going, if they wanted to make it to the restaurant for diner on time. Dr. and Mrs. Jones walked out first followed by Rick, Evie, and Alex.

Leaving Layla and Mutt to bring up the rear. As Layla reached for the door handle, Mutt placed his hand on the door, stopping her from opening it. She turned around and raised her eyebrows in confusion and slight anger.

Mutt smirked evilly and stepped forward causing Layla to back up against the door. He stood a good 5" over, which intimidated her slightly.

"Do you plan on just standing here all evening?" Layla asked annoyed.

Mutt chuckled slightly "No, but I just wanted to tell you something before we leave."

"Well then?"

Mutt leaned in close to her ear, his warm breath on her neck causing her to shiver slightly.

"I love a challenge." Mutt whispered simply before standing up and grasping the doorknob. "Shall we?" He asked. Layla looked up at him stunned.

Her eyes narrowed "And you, have no idea what your getting into 'Mutt.'" She made sure that he knew that she meant his name as an insult before stalking out of the house and to the car.

Mutt smiled to himself before mounting his bike.

"This is going to be interesting." He said to himself as he started his bike and followed his father's car to the restaurant.
