Hello again. Here's a new chapter. Right now I am still in Pirates of the Caribbean mode. Just saw Dead Man's Chest and I absolutely love it! And I loved the ending!
I am going to take some time out and responded to the reviews from the last chapter.
Lady Galriee: I'm glad you like it. Hope you like this chapter!
Cookie44: Yeah, I love them too.
Darth Ergo: I sent you a reply but I wanted to give you a shout out. Thanks for reminding me to give Indy some more action. You're right: he is definitely not one to take the back seat. Hope you like this chapter!
Ice Princess140: Thanks for the review! I hope you love this chapter, too!
I also want to give a shout out to Estora, CAPTAIN Matey Sparrow, and Lucky Fannah. Hope to hear from you guys soon!
Disclaimer: You guys already know it.
Chapter 6
They left Jerusalem later that night. "All right, once we reach Nepal, where do we go next?" asked Rick.
"We walk the Himalayas until we reach Mt. Everest," answered Callista. Remembering her last trip in the Himalayas, she knew that it was definitely not going to be easy.
"Great, the Himalayas. Cold, snowy, cold," commented Indy. Callista looked at him. "Been there too?" she asked.
"An old friend of mine use to live there," he said.
"Or should you say 'an old flame'?" asked Callista with a shrewd smile. When Indy didn't respond, she looked out the window, sleep ever edging towards her. That reverie ended when the train suddenly stopped. "What the bloody hell happened!" asked Jonathan. Callista looked out the window. They were in Persia. "I have a bad feeling about this," she said. All heads turned at the sound of gunfire and shouts.
"Damn. It's the Nazis!" yelled Rachel.
"All right folks, brace for some action!" yelled Rick. Then the door blew open and bullets sang into the air. Indy, Callista, Rick, Rachel, and Ardeth returned fire. "We're not going to last," said Evy. Indy looked around and saw the back door. "It's a good thing that there is always a back door. Follow me," he said. He got up and walked backwards toward the door, gun still blazing. Callista immediately followed as did everyone else. Indy opened the door and ran out, looking at his surroundings. No shelter, he thought. "Indy, run!" yelled Callista, who was pulling Alex along with her. Rick, Evy, and Elizabeth ran another direction, while Jonathan, Ardeth, and Rachel ran another. Indy, Callista, and Alex ran until they came to the edge of a cliff. "There seems to be a small cave. Start climbing down," Indy ordered. Callista went down first and then Alex. When Indy arrived to join them, he said, "Stay quiet."
"Where did they go?" asked a person above them.
"I do not know, Herr Colonel. They just disappeared," said another.
"Mein Herr, we captured some of the group!" another soldier said.
"Which ones?"
"Rick and Evelyn O'Connell, Jonathan Carnahan, Ardeth Bay, Rachel Williams, and Professor Elizabeth Yates."
"Where is Jones and the other two O'Connells?" demanded the Nazi colonel.
"We don't know," came the reply.
"Return to the train. We continue to Nepal. Maybe the others may join us." Then it went quiet. Indy, Callista, and Alex stayed in their spots for a few more minutes until Callista asked, "Are they gone?"
"I think so," said Indy.
"They got Mum and Dad," said Alex.
"Don't worry, kid. We'll get them back," reassured Indy.
"So they know where we were going. What do you suppose we do now?" asked Callista. Indy looked at her. This was definitely un-Callista-like. She was asking him for advice on what to do next. "We head to Nepal, just by an alternate route," came his reply.
"Didn't you here them? They are going there too," said Callista.
"Why are you asking me these questions?" he asked.
"Because when it comes to dealing with the Nazis, you're the expert here," she answered. He looked at her. She does have a point. He responded, "We also have an advantage. No one else in the group knows where Shangri-La is. Only you do. That and the fact that I have the tablet and you have the two key pieces." He looked at the tablet. "I also made a translation mistake. There are only three steps, not seven. Shangri-La is the last point and then the clues leading to Atlantis begins."
"You make mistakes? That is definitely unheard of when it comes to you," said Callista. Then she looked at Alex. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah," came the weak reply.
"It will be alright, Alex. So far in you life you have been through worse," said Callista. She looked at Indy. "What are we waiting for. Let's head for Nepal."
Oh, yeah, now I really got the Nazis involved. And I also changed the plot. To all you Indiana Jones fans out there, give me your opinions. It's really has been a good year since I was able to watch the movies. PLEASE REVIEW!
