After about an hour Winston came in.

"Miss Croft has left. What might I ask are you planning to do?"

"She doesn't know who's running the operation right now. So I'm going to stop him."

"Wouldn't be easier to simply tell her who it is right now?"

"I said I wasn't telling her anything unless she told me the truth, so I'm going to do something. She doesn't want to tell me or get involved well opps. Already in it."

"You said it was this Rob Harrison guy?" Zip said.

"Yep. He's the one, not very smart though. He did try to kill me back in Japan. They know I hid all the pieces, the question is, do they have any ideas as to where they would be."

"Where'd you hide them?"

"The hammer's in my locker at school, a glove is at Ty's house, the belt I hid in Japan and the other glove's right here." I pulled it out.

"I thought you hid all the pieces?"

"I did. One just happens to be hidden in my backpack."

"Ah I get it. Well, Lara's gone…you gonna call Kurtis and tell him to get over here?"

"Yep." I did just that too. He said he'd been waiting and he was on his way. I walked back over to Zip and Winston. "Alright…Now what was it my mom was doing before all this started? Before the break in."

"She was looking for clues to Natla, which she found. The clue she found though lead back to Atlantis though."

"So that's where she's going now?" The door bell went off and Winston went to answer it.

"That's where she went… She couldn't find a thing. Now she's going back to where she found the first sword of Avalon. See if anything shows up there."

"Alright." Maybe I could find somthing she couldn't. "I want a ride over to Atlantis right away."

"Make that for two." We turned towards the door and Kurtis was there.

"Who said you were going?" I asked crossing my arms.

"Well you don't think you can just start tomb raiding just like that huh? It take's skill little girl." He said walking over to us.

"Do you know who your talkin to?" Zip said. "This girl can beat her mom in courses without breaking a sweat."

"See I don't need your help." I turned back towards Zip.

"Now I didn't say that. He's right bout tomb raiding, and this isn't just a normal tomb. Look here." I came around to look at the computer. "Atlantis was full of mythical creatures back in the day, and when your mom went in there the first time, man, it wasn't much better. Some of those things could still be there and we don't even know it."

"So? I can handle myself. I have the skill and I'm smart enough to out do just about anything."

"Maybe if this were a normal tomb but like I just said it's not. Not to mention this thing went through an explosion when your mom was done with it." Kurtis laughed a little. Of course when my mother was done with it it blew up. It was my mom after all.

"So what you're saying is no matter what he's coming?"

"Pretty much. Plus your mom would kill me if I let you go there alone." I let out a sigh. There was no way I was getting out of this. Even if I snuck away and left they'd send him after me.

"Alright then tell me what I'm looking for exactly. What would Natla want from there?"

"A scion. It's what Natla wanted in the beginning. It's what she sent your mom after the first time. I'm sure that still has something to do with all this."

"What if it's no there?"

"Then we assume Natla has it and we try and figure out what our next action is. If it is there you bring it here and again we figure out our next move."

"Alright." I grabbed my pistols and loaded them. "You ready?" I looked at Kurtis. He nodded. "Then let's go."

"Plane's all set, so is the boat ride." Zip said as I started for the door.

"Thanks!" I said walking out. I called Tyler to fill him in as we headed to the airport.

"Ty?"

"Yep. So what's going on?"

"I want you to head to my house. You and Zip are going to be a team now."

"So Zip's working with you as well?"

"Yep."

"Alright. What about your mom? Are two working togeather?"

"Nope. She didn't want to tell me the truth so I didn't fill her in."

"I see. Well I'm on my way. You want to fill me in on what's happening?"

"Kurtis and I are going to Atlantis. That's where my mom's clue led her so we're going to take a look."

"Wait Kurtis? That guy from your house?"

"Ya. He was telling the truth. He does know my mom and I can trust him." I looked at him. "For the most part." Kurtis smirked.

"Anyways, isn't your mom going there now then?"

"No she didn't find anything."

"The why go there?"

"Because she might have missed somthing. She didn't think Natla's V.P had anything to do with this so."

"True. So where are you?"

"Almost to the airport. You?"

"I'm in Zip's office now."

"Alright. Well we're here. I'll get in touch when we land. Let me know if anything happens."

"Alright will do. Good luck Alexa."

"Thanks." I hung up and Kurtis and I got out of the car and wlked into the airport. This was going to be a long trip.
