Chapter Four


"We must watch her!" The captain who worked with Laura said as he slammed his fist down on a desk.


"Bust Captain Von Ran, you only saw the girl with an American man. For all we know she may be engaged to him and he has come here to visit her."


"She has never said she was engaged and she wears no ring. Also, as soon as she took over the telegraph she has been sending messages to someone. I have watched her from a distance and i think she is up to something."


"All right. If it will ease your mind we will issue a 24 hour guard to watch her."


"Thank you, sir." Von Ran raised his hand. "Heil Hitler." He said. The other officer returned the salute. Von Ran bowed then left.


That night Indy picked up Laura after her work at the Nazi headquarters. The drove over to Laura's house and they did not notice a man on a motorcycle following them. Indy went into the house to held carry out both of Laura's bags. While they were gone the man on the motorcycle pulled up next to the truck, dismounted and slipped a little black box between the seats. The he left.


S few minutes later Indy and Laura came out of the house each carrying a small suitcase. After throwing them in the back of the truck they both hopped in. Indy started the truck and they were off.

"So they think they are going to out smart us? Well, I guess the jokes on them." Captain Von Ran and some other men in nazi garb were gathered around a radio listening. From it came the sound of Laura and Indy talkingabout how the Allies were going to out smart the Nazis and win the war. "I'm glad you could get that tracking and listening device in there with out their knowing, Herr Sorven. Thank you, you have helped us tremendiously."


"Thank you, sir." The solider who had done the deed said as he bowed. He then walked to a computer screen where Indy's truck was being tracked. "They are just out of town on Vackslare Road, sir." Von Ran turned to a women with blond hair.


"Dispatch troop 98 to this position." He pointed to a red flashingsquare on the screen that symbolized Indy's truck. "And tell them to bring anyone in that truck to me." The woman nodded abd turned to go. "One more thing Sergent."


"Yes, sir?" She turned back to him.


"Make sure to tell them I want the prisoner's alive and able to talk."


"Yes, sir." She left to dispatch troop 98.

"Indy, look." Laura had turned around in her seat to look out the back window. Indy glanced in his mirror then did a double take. He turned back to te driving with a grim look on his face. They had been doing 30 mph but now he pushed the ecelerator down so fast that they went from 30 to 60 mph in about 5 seconds. Laura had been flung bck against the seat and was looking at him wide eyes.


"Sorry." Insy muttered using all his concentration to drive as they were now going about 80, bumping and swerving all over the road.


"What are you doing!?" Laura shouted.


"Take a closer look out the window." He suggested and Laura did.


"Nazi stormtroopers!" She sounded terrified. "What do we do? How did they find us?" Indy managed to free a hand from the sterring wheel and placed a finger on his lips, signaling her to be quiet. Laura looked at him as if he were crazy. Then she relized that he had figured out that the only way they could know where they were was from a tracking and listening device. Also she relized the Nazis must have heard every word they said and she was thankful that they hadn't been talking about their plan.


She started searching in the glove compartment for the device. Indy smiled at her instead of saying anything.


The soldiers were gaining on them. Laura was still looking for the box and Indy driving like crazy. Laura found the box wedged between the seats and threw it it the window.


"Here." Indy said handing her his gun. "I didn't want to fire before we got rid of that device. I didn't want them to know we have a gun. If they did, they might send reinforcements."


All this time Laura, who had changed while at her house from the Nazi tan into a baby blue dress that was light and comfortable, had been shooting out the window. She and Indy kepy ducking as the fire was returned. "Uh, Oh..." Indy said.


"What?" Laura said after shooting once more and turning to look at him.


"We're almost out of gas."


"Great, this just isn't our day is it? What are we going to do?" They both ducked as another bullet went threw the already full of holes window behind them.


"I'm open to any ideas." Indy said. Laura knew this ment he didn't have any. A bullet wizzed past, hit Laura's mirror and shatered it. She turned around and sent a few of her own back. She didn't trun around but Indy could still hear her.


"We'll, fight to the death. That's what we'll do."
