Disclaimer: I own Rhea, the bad guys, the camels and Quest!

Rhea came round with a loud groan and a hand clamped across her mouth. Startled, she jabbed her elbow into the person behind her. The person groaned in a familiar pained voice

"Ardeth? Is that you?" Rhea asked

"Yes, and Alex is here also." Ardeth replied

"Sorry." Rhea apologised "You startled me and I –" a low hissing cut her off

"What was that?" Alex asked

"Snake." Ardeth whispered back

"Oh goodie, snakes." Rhea whispered sarcastically "Just as well dad ain't 'ere. He hates snakes." The hiss came again, and was joined by several others

"There should be an exit here somewhere." Ardeth said, "We need to find it." Alex and Ardeth stood carefully, squinting in the dark in hope of seeing the snakes or a way out.

"Ardeth?" Rhea said, fear in her voice "I can't move."

"They're only snakes." Ardeth replied

"No. I don't mean that I'm scared by them." Rhea replied, "I think my leg's broken." Ardeth swore swiftly in Arabic and walked slowly over to her. He took her arms and pulled her up slowly, hearing her hiss and felt her shake in pain as she stood. There was the sound of rock on rock and a door opened, sending light into the room.

"I did it." Alex said, almost as if he was in trouble. He slipped through the door with Ardeth and Rhea following behind him and several guns in their faces stopped them.

"Denkend nicht, an das Entgehen, sind wir?" a cold voice asked mockingly.

The three sat in side of a heavily guarded tent in a German camp. Ardeth growled as he heard people walk past their 'prison' and then looked over to the two children.

Alex sat beside a paled Rhea. As much as they hated to admit it, the two had become good friends. Rhea was not looking well. She had paled dramatically since they had exited the snake-infested tomb and now sat there, shaking and sweating. She was constantly fighting off the comforting darkness that was trying to cloud her vision.

"Rhea?" Ardeth said eventually and the girl's eyes snapped open

"Ar-Ardeth?" she replied shakily

"You are not well, I need to look at your leg." The girl nodded and Ardeth moved towards her and crouched. Her moved her skirt to her knee and swore heavily in Arabic

Her leg had been badly broken in several places. The whole leg was bruised, just above her ankle her leg was swollen and close to her knee part of the bone jutted out

"It bad?" she asked weakly. Ardeth didn't reply, instead he tore several strips from his robe

"I take that as yeah." Rhea answered herself

"Alex, go sit over there." Ardeth said. The boy nodded and quickly moved to the opposite side of the tent.

"Real bad." Rhea observed in a faint whisper before Ardeth silenced her. He put a hand either side of her ankle, making her gasp and try to pull back, running a thumb across the swelling, Ardeth pin-pointed where one bone jutted out from the rest.

"Ardeth?" Rhea questioned. He merely bit his lip in reply and looked into her eyes

"Don't move." He said.

"Yeah. Like, where am I going with my leg like this – SHIT!" she finished in a yell and glared at Ardeth, gritting her teeth.

"I haven't done anything yet." He told her "Just get ready." Rhea curled her bottom lip and was about to reply when Ardeth pressed against the bone in her ankle and pulled her leg slightly so the ends fitted against each other, it made Rhea scream loudly and tears rolled down her face. Ardeth bound her ankle tightly with one of the strips he'd torn from his robe, not daring to look into the girls face.

"What's going on in 'ere?" a voice roared and the tent flap twitched open to reveal the face of a very large man

"Snake." Rhea gritted, twitching her skirt to hide her injured leg "Apologies."

"Keep it down then." The man hissed and the tent flap twitched closed again

"Are you alright?" Ardeth asked

"P-peachy." Rhea groaned. She closed her eyes and let her head slump forward, her breathing becoming deeper but ragged. Ardeth frowned, but gently pushed the girl so she was lying on the floor, and ran a hand over her head, frown deepening at the fact she was burning up. He turned slightly to see that Alex had fallen asleep, and then sat in silence between the two, watching Rhea with gritted teeth as her condition worsened, hoping for a chance that they could escape shortly.

"Have you got everything?" Rick asked Evy

"Yes. Get them back soon, I'll meet you back at the Oasis." She leaned down from the camel and gave her husband a quick peck on the forehead "Bring our son home safely." She added before rising up again and spurring the camel away from the men. They watched her go and then Rick turned to the other two.

"Guns sorted?" he asked Jonathan.

"Loaded, in good working order and spare bullets ready." The man answered, he was sporting a black eye from the battle against the Germans "Are we moving now?"

"Camels are ready to go when you are." Indy answered his question, leading the animals over, amongst them was Ardeth's horse and on Indy's shoulder sat Quest, who had ran back to Indy as Rhea had been taken.

The three men got onto their camels quickly, checking to see if their weapons were ready, before spurring their rides on to follow the German tracks.

Jonnycarnahan: Jonathan wasn't that badly hurt, yet. We'll just have to wait and see if I decide to be really evil and hurt him lots :P I'm so cruel to characters! Jonathan bound and gagged makes a very nice visual indeed!
