Chapter 4:

Mutt shouted over the whizzing of cars and his motorbike, "I have some money with me! Where do you wanna go eat?"

Ana responded, "I don't care. The food at school is awful, so anywhere."

"We'll go to Chubby's then, it's right around the corner."

"To see your girlfriend?"

"No! Geez…it's the closest."

"Sure… Have you noticed that car that's been following us? It's been following us for a few blocks now."

"Big whoop. We are headed into town therefore people come this way quite often squirt."

"It doesn't look like a common car."

"Since when are you an expert on cars?" At that final note Mutt pulled over and was making his way to the diner with Ana when all of a sudden…Zao Che sprung from the car that had been trailing them and landed on top of Mutt and Ana tackling the two of them to the ground.

"Come quietly and no one will get hurt." Spat Zao Che into Mutt's ear.

"Yeah, right!" Mutt exclaimed back while throwing a punch and striking Zao in the face. "Ana! Run!"

Ana complied to her brother's wishes and ran over the parked car trying to escape not wanting to run into traffic again. Lio Zhou then managed to come out of nowhere, stop her, pick her up, and carry her to where she had been. To that, she bit him and he dropped her on the pavement where she scrambled to get back up.

When the fighting was starting to really pick up Mutt and Ana were throwing punches left and right at their attackers and then Marion drove up. Ana stopped fighting to avoid getting into more trouble with her adoptive father.

"Why did you stop?" Mutt questioned.

"I don't want to get into any more trouble with Henry. Hasn't it clicked with you that he doesn't like me?"

Marion grabbed a gun out of the glove compartment and pointed it at Zao Che who was now holding onto Mutt very firmly.

"Let go of them!" She threatened. Then she fired her gun; which shattered the window behind Zao Che.

"Shoot again and I shoot the boy!" rebelled Zao.

"Do your worst, you bastard!" Mutt protested into Zao's face. This did nothing but make Zao laugh and then strike him in the back of the head with his gun. Lio Zhou responded: "I will do my worst. I'll shoot the girl." Ana screamed not out of fear, but out of attention, trying to get other people around them to jump in and help even though she knew they wouldn't.

Lio ordered Marion to get on the ground. Marion, being the wife of Indy, objected. All Lio had to do was cock his gun and hold it up to Ana's head which made Marion obey and get on the ground while Zao and Lio drove off with the Jones kids.

Chou got word of this. Back at the Jones's home he informed Indy.

"He really has my kids?!" He shouted. He cared for both of them but didn't know it and worried about Mutt. He tried to remind himself Mutt carried a knife but it wasn't comforting him at all.

Indy blew his lid for at least the third time that afternoon and got up, grabbed his whip he refused to throw out that he had hidden under the couch for emergencies, and threatened them, "Give my kids back to my wife. Or I'll stain my whip, and I hate it when my whip is stained."

Lao Tei, obviously not amused and not afraid responded, "I thought you hung that old thing up, Dr. Jones." Indy could do nothing but stare at them, knowing he could do nothing to get his kids back except for one thing… "How long do I have to find the fountain?"

Chou chuckled lightly and responded to Indy's question. "You will have a couple of weeks, it depends on how far of an advancement you are making in time. Just so you know, Indiana Jones, we know how you got away from the Nazis 20 years ago. Also how you got away from the Russians a year ago. Just so you know, we have taken extra precautions on the next generation of Jones kids." At that, the two generals left the house.

Only seconds after the two of them pulled out of the driveway did Marion pull in. "Jones!" She shouted as she burst through the front door. "They have our kids!" She tried to be strong but she could do nothing but collapse into sobs into Indiana's arms.

"We'll get them back. Trust me."


Will the Joneses really get their kids back? Come back tomorrow and find out!

Sorry that the chapters have been rather short, but later in the story the scenes start to get longer so the chapters will get longer as well have a nice day!
