Chapter Two


After dinner Indy went back up stairs to get ready to leave. By now it was 8 o'clock, only half an hour until he was to leave. He started packing things into his leather pouch. He put in a small bottle of chloroform and a white rag so he could knock out the person he was going to kidnap. He didn't want them to see where he would be taking them. Then he threw in a piece of rope in case his captive got too mad. He flipped the pouch closed then put it over his head so it hung across his chest. After stuffing his small pistol into the holster at his belt, he put the truck keys in his pocket. Then he jammed his hat on his head and turned out the lights, closing the door behind him. He left his whip because he figured he would not need it. After leaving the house he went to the garage and just as Kathrina had said he found a blue pick-up. He got in, started the motor and was off.

"Did you recive that telegraph from Der Fuhrer?" A man in Nazi uniform asked a young woman of 22 who was also dressed as a Nazi.


"Yes, sir." She replied and handed him a piece of paper. She used her other hand to push her loose, red-brown hair behind her ear. Even though she was dressed like all of the others there she did not speak the same. She had no German accent.


"Very good." Said the captain as he looked at the paper. "Wirer back that we aggree." The young woman started clicking the telegraph insterment with her right hand. "And Dewitt."


"Yes, sir?" She turned back to the captain.


"No mistakes this time."


"No, sir." She bowed her head and after the captain moved on she went back to clicking. After a time she put away her things and started putting on her cape and gloves over her tan uniform.

Mean while, Indy had parked in an ally beside the old brick building that his map said was a Nazi headquarters. He carfully looked around the corner. The same Nazi captain that had talked to the Dewitt girl earlyer had just come out of the building. Indy quickly pulled his head back and pressed himself against the wall of the buliding. Afew minutes later tha captain walked by but didn't see Indy. His back looks framiler. Indy thought.


Inside the building the Dewitt girl was just heading for the door. When Indy saw her step out he put some of the chloroform on the rag, being carful not to smell it. This will be perfect. He thought. A woman will be much easyer to capture than a man. He peered around the building again to make sure she was going to come past the ally. She was. He waited until she had passed the ally entrance then he crept up behind her and covered her mouth and nose with his hand that held the rag. He wrapped his other arm around her, pinning her arms to her sides. She tried to scream but soon she fell unconsious into Indy's arms. The chloroform had temporarily knocked her out.


When she woke up awhile later she didn't open her eyes right away. First she tried to remember what had happened to her and where she could be now. She could tell that she was ridding in some kind of vehical. She tried to remember everything from the beginning. she could remembered leaving her office to go home and then when she was outside someone came up behind her and grabbed her and covered her mouth and nose. She hadn't gotten a glimpse of who had grabbed her though. She remember trying to scream and then that was it. Now she was here. Where ever that was.


She was a little afraid to open her eyes but slowly she did. First all she saw was the dashboard in front of her. She slowly turned her eyes, trying not to atract the attention of who ever was in the car with her. Indy knew she was awake but didn't say anything. When she tried not to gasp, but she failed.


"I know your awake." Indy said in his deep voice. She tried to glare at him but it was hard, he was so handsome!


"Why had you kidnapped me?" She asked succeding in making her voice sound angry although she was really watching him and thinking: How can such a cute guy be a kidnapper? After she asked him that question he pulled the truck to the side of the road and stopped it. He staired at her in suprise. "What?" She asked growing alarmed.


"Your not German."


"Neither are you. So now that that fact has been established, what am I doing here?? Indy staired at her dumbfounded then slapped his foreheand and slumped in hid seat. The girl thought this was quite a strange thing for a kidnapper to do.


"Well, if you aren't a German, who are you?" Indy asked looking at her.


"That depends. I have to know who you are first." Indy rolled his eyes.


"So you have to know who I am be fore I can know who you are? This is getting a little complecated. And you," He leaned toward her and she shrank back towards the door. "Are in not position to make demands. Even though you sound and look American you could still be German. And one thing is sure. You are a Nazi." She just looked at him defiantly and a bit fearfully. "I have a gun." He said and pulled it out of the holster and toyed with it. Of course he had no intention of actually using it on her, he just wanted her to talk. When she saw the gun she stiffened. She had been thinking about jumpping out of the truck and running away but now she knew that would never work because he had a gun. And she, not knowing Indy though he would actually shoot her. Indy watched her out of the corner of his eye. He saw with satisfaction that the gun was making her nerveous. Good, He thought Now maybe she'll talk. When she still didn't talk he got tired of waiting.


"Okay," He said. "I'm Indiana Jones. Now I want to know who you are."


"THE Indiana Jones?" She asked now feeling quite safe. Indy sighed. Here we go again. He thought. "Yes, I am the only Indiana Jones that I know of. Now would you please tell me who you are!"


"Laura Dewitt. And I, as you, am loyal to America." Indy snorted.


"Yeah! I'll bet. Do you seriously think I'm going to believe that?" He asked.
