Chp.10
Shorty wanted to go right through the tunnel and towards the treasure, but Indy held him back. "We don't know if it's booby-trapped." He said and then turned towards the others. "Don't touch anything, just lean against the wall and wait."
"Don't listen to him." Shorty said grinning. "Last time he told me to lean against a wall, we nearly died. As I always said, 'Listen to me and you'll live longer.'"
Indy chuckled. "Alright. I'll go check this out then."
"I'm coming with you, Indy."
He turned around again and stared at his friend.
The chinese boy shook his head. "No way, Doctor Jones. I'm old enough now. I'm coming along."
Indy sighed in defeat. "Okay, but –"
"I step where you step. I know, Indy."
Once again, Indy caught a look of jealousy on Mutt's face. 'Damn it! I really need to have a chat with him soon.' He thought.
"This looks too easy, Indy." Shorty said, feeling unsure.
"I know what you mean." He said just before he stepped on a stone, which was suddenly moving downwards. He quickly jumped back. Spikes came out of the stony walls. They'd nearly killed Indiana.
After a few moments of silence because of the shock, Shorty let out a breath. "Maybe it's better that way. The other's don't have to tiptoe around." They continued walking and came to a stop in front of a large hall.
Indy looked around, trying to spot another trap. Shorty leaned against the wall, waiting for his friend to do something. Suddenly the floor cracked open and left a huge whole. Jones turned towards the chinese.
"Got it. No more leaning against walls."
Indy looked up at the ceiling. He took his whip and throw it up. Then he tested weather the wood at the ceiling would hold his weight. He wrapped the other side of the whip around his hand and then swung over the hole. After landing on the other side, he swung the whip towards Shorty.
"Alright, come over." He said and Shorty did as he was told.
"We should get the others first." The young man suggested.
Indy nodded. "You stay here. Don't touch anything and don't lean against anything."
"Yeah, I got. Go already." Shorty smiled.
Indiana swung back over the hole and then walked back towards the group.
"There you are! I thought, you'd never come back." Marion said as soon as she saw him. Jenny stood next to her, looking relaxed. She even smiled at him. Mutt stood against a wall, looking bored. Bored and pissed.
"If you'd now please follow me." He grinned playfully. Marion and Jenny walked past him, Mutt followed slowly. "You alright?"
"Sure." The boy answered, looking straight forward.
They came towards the hole in the ground and Marion looked at him. "You can't be serious, Jones."
"It's fun. You'll see."
"No way!" She protested.
Jenny took the whip and swung over the hole, without saying anything. She grinned, once she was over. "That was fun."
"You're next." Indy told Marion.
"Jones." She warned.
He gave her the end of the whip. "Trust me, Honey. You'll be fine." He kissed her cheek.
She swung over the hole and swung the whip back. She looked more relaxed now and Indy grinned at her. Then he turned towards Mutt.
"I'll just wait here." He said.
"You're too chicken?" Indy challenged.
Mutt angrily grabbed the whip and followed his mother over the hole. Then he swung it back to Indy, without another word.
After everyone was over, they went forward again. They were in a big hall now. There was no door, no way out, or so it seemed.
Mutt looked at the walls and saw some rocks stood out. As far as he could see, they let all the way up and to another tunnel. "We have to go upstairs."
Indy didn't look at him. "Well, do you see stairs here?"
"Yeah." He replied and Indiana turned to look at him. Mutt just pointed at the wall.
The older Jones walked towards the wall and tested the stones. "Seems to be the only way. Let's go then." He began climbing up. Everyone followed shortly after.
The stairs had let towards another tunnel. Just they way Mutt had imagined. They kept on walking, stopping when Indy stopped and stepping where Indy stepped. He came to a abrupt stop. From where he stood, Mutt could see that the tunnel ended there. With a hole to the ground.
"We have to slide down." Indiana said.
"Looks like fun." Shorty answered.
Indy sat down on the stones and slid downwards. Shorty followed without a second thought.
"You wanna go first, Mrs. Jones?" Jenny asked.
"Thank you, Jenny." Marion said and slid down as well.
"Mutt?" She then asked.
"Ladies first." He said.
"You're sweet." She said and kissed his cheek. Then she slid down herself.
Mutt looked around. 'Why?' Was the only thought running through his head, before sliding down the stones.
AN: Alright so far? This is my first Indy story and I don't know if it's okay. Thanks for reading and every review.
