Chapter 7: Call Karlien

The phone rang for a while until someone picked up "Hallo?" it is a female voice.

"Hallo Karlien." He said.

"Riley, is that you?" she asked, a little surprised to hear his voice.

"Yes it's me" he answered "Look I need your help."

"With?" she asked when hearing his serious voice. She is a professional, business before pleasure, that's how she worked. No small talks, like 'how have you been' or 'Is everything going fine' no she went straight to business.

"There's a Tomb in your location, do you know it. It's called the Lost Tomb of the Warrior." Riley asked and waited for an answer. He heard pages on the other end before she started speaking again.

"The locals call it the lost wind" she said turning another pages "But it's also called the lost tomb of the warrior so yes I've heard of it. Why do you ask?"

"A friend and I need to find this tomb, for it holds the artefact that can find Kurtis." He answered.

"Right Kurtis, being missing for a year, why do you think the Tomb is the answer?"

"Yeah, well it's the only lead I have." Riley said with a sight as he looked to the closed door to the bathroom.

"Okay, you want the location?" she asked.

"Yes, please" he said.

"Okay, well what I got is that the Tomb is in the Namib River's bank somewhere, Lucky for you I'm in Swakop so I'll go and find it for you." She said.

"Okay, well, Lara needs to do something first but I'll call you when we arrive." He said

"Wait, you with Lara, is this the famous Lady Lara Croft herself." She asked not believing what she's hearing. As she said that the door to the bathroom opened making Riley look at Lara who stepped out. His eyes went wide, and he gasped 'Wow' as he saw Lara in a long black dress going down to her knees, just above them. Her hair is lose and hanging over her shoulder.

"Hallo?" he heard Karlien's voice over the phone, making him snap out of it. He cleared his throat.

"Yes it's Miss Croft herself." He answered Karlien.

"Wow, so I'll be meeting her soon then." Karlien said. "I'll call you if I have the location, bye." And she hanged up. He placed the phone back in his jackets pocket. He looked at Lara who is busy putting on a black necklace around her neck.

"May I" He said and Lara looked at him. She handed him the necklace and he stepped behind her, placing the necklace in front of her, making her raise her hair with hand as he locked it at the back of her neck, so the necklace won't fall. After that she lets her hair back down and looked at him "Thanks" She said.

"No problem." He said back and sat on the bed.

"So any news on the Tomb yet?" She asked.

"Yes, Karlien. The contact she is looking for the location, she know it good and will call me if she has something. For now you can go enjoy this party you're going to." He answered.

"Thanks, but I'm not going to it to enjoy myself, I'm meeting someone to get info on an artefact." She said and grabbed her handbag.

"Well, good luck with that, I'm heading to America to collect something so call if you're heading somewhere else that I can catch up with you." He said and got up from the bed.

"You're going know." She asked.

"Yeah, it's better if I did it now before we head into the tomb" he said and walked to the door but turned to face Lara "And Lara you look perfect, amazing and beautiful in that dress."

"Thanks" she said "Take care and see you later." He then left the room with a smile. Lara sighed and got ready to leave as well.


Lara enters Nishimura's building and heads for the elevator as she puts on her earpiece and contacts Zip "Zip can you hear me"

"Yes load and clear." He answered

"I'm heading up to the party any news on Takomoto? She asked.

"No nothing yet" He answered and Lara is fashionably late for the party, like always. As she steps into the elevator, she hears Zip in her earpiece again. "What exactly happened last time you and Takamoto got together?" he asked and Lara press the number 30 button to go up to the party.

"He was trying to pass of forged relics from the Asuka Period and conventional reason doesn't work with the Yakuza." Lara answered.

"But you let him go" Zip said

"And know we're going to have a useful conversation" Lara said stepping out of the elevator. Looked at the party and listened to the music "It's turned out quite nicely." And she walks off to meet up with Nishimura.


This continues in the level of Japan, in TRL, where we see Lara going to meet Takamoto and how she's going to get the sword fragment from him...If you haven't played it yet then the next Chapter will be confusing to you.
