Disclaimer: I only own Rhea and the Germans. Ardeth doesn't belong to me (sigh)
The camp was large and noisy. Tents were scattered around Hamunaptra, though there was a large, clear area around the statue of Anubis, several men were dropping into a hole close to it, more coming up further away.
"Where do you think they are?" Jonathan asked, he was lying half behind a large pile of ruins well away from the camp with Rick and Indiana, watching the Germans and several Medjai men wander aimlessly around.
"There." Indy replied, pointing over to a lone tent where one burly German man stood guard "That's got to be where they are."
Rick nodded, smiling slightly. The tent was secluded, on its own with a lot of columns and stone around and only one guard, making it all the more easier for a rescue attempt.
"Come on." He said. Staying low to the ground they weaved there way around the rubble until they were behind a wall behind the tent. Checking around to be sure none of the Germans were near. Rick moved forward so that he was right against the dark canvas of the tent
"Ardeth?" he called through, his voice barely more than a whisper. There was silence for a moment, then the sound of someone moving around in the san within the tent
"O'Connell?" Ardeth called back. "How did you get here?"
"Not important." Rick replied "Come on, we're busting you out." He looked down at the tent bottom and started to take the stones holding it down off.
"Dad?" Alex said as soon as enough of the stones had been moved to create a gap large enough for them to get through
"Come on Alex." Rick replied, taking his hands and pulling him through, pulling him into a quick hug "Your Uncle and Indy are behind there, get moving, and keep quiet." Alex nodded and sped over to the wall, hands coming round from behind it to pull him alongside the other two rescuers.
"O'Connell?" Ardeth said, once Alex had gone "I need help getting Rhea out."
"Why?" Rick asked, slightly panicked, Ardeth asking for help was never a good thing "She's broken her leg." Ardeth replied, "She's unconscious." Rick swore quietly but nodded.
"Okay," he said, "pass her out." Rhea was passed out to him, pale and limp, she didn't move once whilst Ardeth placed her in Rick's arms, she was wrapped in Ardeth's outer robe, an attempt to keep her warm. Ardeth appeared only a moment later and the two swiftly ducked behind the wall. Indy looked at his daughter with a worried expression and ran a hand over her forehead
"She's got a fever." He muttered looking up into Rick's face "Ready to get moving?"
They moved quietly and quickly, though were unable to crouch as Rick was carrying Rhea. Suddenly Ardeth tapped Rick's hand and pointed through to the camp
"Isn't he a friend of yours?" he asked Rick followed his finger to where he was pointing. The German who had mocked them before they had fought was talking to a scruffy man in black wearing a red hat and clutching a piece of treasure like his life depended on it.
"Beni." Rick growled, "I thought he died."
"Apparently not my friend." Ardeth replied. They had reached the camels by then, Jonathan making them all drop so that they could get onto them.
"Put her on my camel Rick." Indy said, his face was grim as he looked over to the unconscious girl "Then lets get out of here."
Very short, and I don't think it was that good. Sorry. Will do soooo much better next time!
