Disclaimer: I do not own tomb raider or anything to do with it, all I own is the plot

When Lara came out of the bathroom she saw the TV was on but Kurtis wasn't there,'It as if I have 'desert me' stamped on my forehead', she walked over to the bed and sat down. AS she did she felt something under her hand, it was a note.

Croft,

I'm not sure if you heard the good news yet. Watch the news and you will see what I mean. Anyway, I have just gone out; I have ordered a bottle of champagne so if someone is at the door it is room service. I will be back soon.

Kurtis Trent

'So, your name is Trent', Lara smiled, then she looked over at the TV and flipped through all the channels until she found what she was looking for, BBC news. A woman in a lilac suit, with blonde hair and heavy make-up was sitting at a desk with a very fake backround of a city behind her

'Breaking news, Lady Lara croft is no longer a wanted woman.

Yesterday the Strahov Library in Prague exploded revealing an underground complex. 40 bodies have been found and 14 survivors are in the emergency room of the hospital in Prague, emergency services are still looking for survivors.

Early this morning a man arrived at the Prague police station claiming he had evidence that Lara Croft was not the Monstrum. A few hours later Detective Claus Braun held this press conference…'

a man in a horrible brown suit with black hair and a stack of papers walked up to a podium, a group of journalists stood in front of him blinding him with camera's and shouting questions at him. He coughed loudly and they all fell silent

'Today some new evidence was brought to our attention about the Monstrum, at this time, I am not authorised to tell you what it is and I can not tell you who gave us this information for this person's safety. But what I can tell you is that Lara croft is innocent, and we know who the monstrum really is. His name is Pieter Van Eckhardt, we don't have a lot of information about his whereabouts at this time, but a source tells us that he was in the Strahov, whether he is alive or not is still unknown.

And I would like to add. If Lady Croft is watching I would like to tell her that on the behalf of the Parisian and Prague police we are all very sorry for the inconvenience.

And that concludes this conference.'

Lara's mouth was hanging open,'I don't believe it, I'm free', she felt like she could fly she was so happy, no more nephilim, no more Karel and no more Eckhardt, I can finally take a break.'

'This just in, our first news about the evidence on the Monstrum,

There is a possibility that Joachim Karel, Eckhardt's right hand man might be the Monstrum. Apparently The source of the new information watched as Lady Croft had a show down with both Eckhardt and Karel and defeated them both.

The Explosion apparently started in the very room that Miss Croft defeated them, apparently the rescue service had found two bodies badly burnt in this room.

A man placed a small pile of papers on the desk and rushed off.

Oh my…but…how?…Sorry ladies and gentlemen this is quite shocking. Apparently one of that bodies that was believed to be Karel has…disappeared. They have taken the other body to be identified, we will find out more on that. But now its time for a break, please stayed turned for live news from the explosion site.'

Suddenly the happy feeling was gone,'I knew he was still alive, it was just to easy. I mean he is a nephilim. Of course a little explosion isn't going to kill him. Shit where could he be? He will be looking for me soon.', Lara quickly flipped channels looking for another news channel who were covering it. All the local Stations were but she didn't have the faintest idea what they were saying, she finally found sky news where they had a reporter live on the scene

'I am Nick Owen Live in Prague where the explosion of the Strahov library took place just yesterday. At the moment Emergency services are still searching for survivors, but they say it doesn't look good as they have already found 19 more victims of the explosion which make 59 deaths in total and still only 14 survivors. Earlier when I spoke to Mr. Anstieg the chief of emergency services, he was completely mystified by the disappearance of one of the victims bodies. This body was believed to be Joachim Karel as the other body found with him was that of Pieter Van Eckhardt. Police are looking for Karel as he is believed to be linked with the monstrum…'

A picture of Karel came up on the TV, his cold eyes stared at Lara, she could feel them burning into her as if he was haunting her. The reporter continued to talk but Lara wasn't listening anymore, she knew he was probably just repeating what the other network had said like they always do on news channels. A knock on the door brought Lara back to reality, she got up and opened the door. Outside in the hallway there was no one there, she stepped out of the room just to make sure, [I]'probably some bored kid'[/I], Lara shrugged then walked back into the room and closed the door behind her. Suddenly she felt something whack the back of her head. She fell to her knees feeling drowsy , she swayed back and forth till she fell face down on the floor and she saw a blurry figure standing over her.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When Lara woke up she saw Kurtis looking over her, her head was in incredibly pain and she basically felt like shit.

"What is it with you and passing out." Kurtis said sarcastically

"that time I was knocked out." Lara said as she tried to get up, but she did it too fast making her head hurt even more

"Here," Kurtis passed her a cloth full of ice, she put it on her head "Do you want some aspirin?"

"If it will help, sure." Lara said with a grimace as she touched the spot where her head hurt the most, [I]'Bugger, I'm bleeding. Who ever did this will not live to regret it.'[/I], She got up very slowly from the floor and stumbled over to a chair

"here, take one of these." he handed her a white pill and a glass of water, Lara looked at the little pill then at Kurtis

"What? don't you trust me?" Kurtis said coldly Lara shrugged and swallowed the aspirin

"Thanks." She hand him back the glass,

"I got you some warmer clothes." Kurtis walked over to a white plastic bag on the bed and threw it at Lara's feet. She picked up the bag and looked inside, there was a pair of black trousers and a black long leather coat inside.

"Well you do have good fashion sense." Lara said with a smile

"thank you." Kurtis replied "before I forget, I found this next to you." He handed her a thick brown envelope

"What is it?" Lara asked

"How the fuck would I know, its addressed to you." Kurtis walked over to the mini fridge and pulled out a bottle of champagne and two chilled glasses "I guess you heard the good news."

"Yeah, I still can't believe it." Lara opened the envelope and a file fell out with a piece of folded up white paper attached to it:

Lady Croft,

You freed me and from those sadists so I decided to help you. I have already helped you once by telling the police about Karel and Eckhardt, but I am going to help you a second time. After all you did help me.

This file I have given you is Karel's, it has everything he was planning in it. How he was going to revive his kind, where he was going and all his research. Croft, after reading this I have realised that the Nephilim must never walk the earth again.

As I am sure you are aware he is still alive, watch your back. He will try to put his plan in action again, I know this man, he is evil, the utter most evil that exists. Stop him, don't let the watchers be freed.

I am not going to tell you my name in case this package is intercepted for now call me 'Phoenix'.

"So what does it say?" Kurtis asked as he passed Lara a glass of champagne, she just passed

him the letter, then took a long gulp of her champagne draining the glass then setting it down on the table. Kurtis read the letter rather quickly then put it down next to the empty glass and raised an eyebrow as he saw all its contents were gone

"Now aren't Ladies meant to be serene and delicate?" Kurtis asked

"Its only a title not a personality." Lara replied with a smile

"Whatever, lets look at these files." He replied
