Chapter 5
Greenland
After going hours through luggage and security in the airport, Lara and Jake walked out into the cold night air.
"Alright Jake, listen up. First we're going to the hotel to check in, and drop off our luggage. I don't care if you have other reservations, you're staying with me. Second, you're going to tell me where you were supposed to go when you got here, and anything else you know about this whole deal. Got it?"
"Yes," mumbled Jake.
So off they went to the Hotel Arctic As, in llulissat. They checked in, went up to there rooms to drop off their luggage, and headed to the nearest café they could find.
"So, are you ready to spill?" Lara asked the man.
"Okay. I was sent here to follow you by a lady. That's all I know about her. She said I must watch you at all times, and eventually capture you. She wanted me to make sure you didn't go to Gunnbjorn's Fjeld at all costs."
"Which means that that's where the orb is?"
"What orb?" Jake started to question.
"Okay. In general, there are these 5 orbs that I'm supposed to look for this one guy. Please don't ask any questions, there will be consequences," replied Laura.
"Alright, alright, I believe you," Jake said startled.
They checked into the hotel, unpacked their bags, and decided they should hit the hay. There was only one bed, and of course Lara got to sleep in it, while Jake had the floor. Lara kept her pistols under her pillow. She could never be too sure with this Jake fellow.
"One more question, Jake," Lara said. "Why did you cave James in when you were in Egypt?"
"Well, he got very greedy in the end there. Kind of creeped me out, actually."
Lara thought about this hard as she finally put her head down.
