First movie (With Alex and the triangle of light), TR: Last Revelation (is the whole Egypt thing), AOD is the nephilium thing, Tomb Raider movie 2, TR: Legend (The up and coming game)
Chapter 3:
St. Bernard Private Air Strip, Paris, 09:36am
"Lara, you really need a new car,"
"It's not mine, it belongs to someone I bumped into,"
"You killed that person?" Kurtis looked incredulous,
"No, I didn't. But I'll kill you if you take that look off you're face," Lara laughed at their confusion. Lara pulled up beside a red and blue helicopter, and got out of the Ex reporters rusting hatch-back. "Is this yours?" asked Kurtis as he admired the chopper. "No, it's a friends',"
"Well aren't you popular," Inside Kurtis wished he had as many friends as Lara, which were willing to help him. The motor started up and a face pocked out from the front window, "Hurry up will you?" It was Bryce, "Who's that?"
"A friend, he'll be staying for a while,"
"Oooh!" he mocked,
"Bryce," he looked at her, "Don't start." Bryce pulled his head back inside and shut the window. "Coming?" Lara turned to Kurtis,
"Well, he's very interesting isn't he?"
"He's a genius, that's why I keep him around."
Bryce pushed his head out the window again, "Hurry up! You have no idea how many strings I pulled to land here!"
Croft Manor, Buckingham Shire, The next morning
Lara pulled herself out of her four-poster bed and took in the sun, flowing through the windows that almost encircled her bedroom. "Time for a bath," she instructed herself, when she realized the shower was already on. "What the?" she snuck over the door to her ensuit and peered through, it was Kurtis. I can't believe I forgot about him. When she realized she was staring at him she spun around headed out of the room. She was so exhilarated with Kurtis around, she didn't know why though. Need something to do! She ran forwards and swan dived of the banister from the second floor landing. Hillary walked out from down below and dropped his tray of tea. At the last moment Lara grabbed a near-by bungee rope which she used for her exercise. It stretch down and Lara let go just as it was about to retract to the ceiling, completing a half-flip and landing on her feet. Bryce clapped from the computer room, Hillary was busy cleaning up his tea but Lara could see his face turn beetroot. "I see you patched up that hole in the wall," she pointed below the opposite staircase where she had smashed it to get to the clock. "I'll be out on the training course then," and with that Lara walked through the corridor through the kitchen and out a side door to her outdoor training course. She sprinted around the corner to the start then put herself into a sprint-start position and told a following Hillary to tell her when to start. "On your mark! Set! Go!" and she was off. Hopping across the first tiny gap then jumping onto the second. She sprinted to the opposite ledge and actually managed to land on her feet on the next landing where she usually grabbed it. The last week has been good for something. She slid down the wooden slope and leapt across to grab the climbing frame. She scaled it as quickly as she could and jumped half-way out along the monkey-bars before grabbing them, Hillary running to keep up. She dropped onto another slope and swan dived into the shallow pool below, she swam through the tunnel and sprang up on the climbing frame and swung down across the flying fox. To finish she commando crawled under barbed wire and collected her pistols then got every shot into the target practice that followed. Once they were all completely destroyed, she sprinted as fast as she could between the two union flags. "Well done! A new PB Lara!"
"Thank-you Hillary, did you bring water?"
"Yes." He handed her a water bottle and they walked back into the house together. "I think I'll take a shower now," she was back up the stairs were she bumped into Kurtis, "Make yourself at home. If you don't want to, I'm sure Hillary will do it for you," she smirked at him,
"I still can't believe you live in a Manor,"
"Just wait till you see my toys,"
"Ewww…" Kurtis laughed. Lara punched him in the arm and continued up to the shower.
"Do you want to see my collections?" Lara asked Kurtis over a breakfast of baked beans and toast, her favorite because she could cook it herself. Kurtis was busy swallowing his pancakes that Hillary had made him. "OK," he said.
They got up and Lara took him into the garage first. "Oh my god! Lara!" He ran straight over to her collection of motorcycles. "Which is your favorite?" he asked her,
"I like the silver Street Fighter,"
"WOW! Me too. What else have you got to show me?" now thoroughly excited. "Do you like guns?" she showed him over to a long caged cupboard on the back wall, it contained everything from tranquilizers to bazookas. "Pick one. I dare say you'll need a replacement for the one confiscated at the hospital,"
"Thanks." Lara punched in a code and the metal grid slid open with a loud bang. Kurtis reached in and took an identical 9mm pistol to Lara, "Yes, I prefer them as well. Do you want to see my life's work now?"
"Sure."
After several hours of explaining what everything was and did in the treasure room they went to lunch. "Lara there's a phone call for you,"
Lara picked up her PDA mobile, "Transfer them to my mobile,"
It beeps and Lara placed it up to her head. "Lady Croft, it Gus,"
"How are you?"
"Good, good. Can you come to Santorinni? We may have found something, all of them have been here for days now and we could really use your help,"
"Who have been there for days?"
"All the main archeologists, the French man, that Asian guy that always gets there first, in fact you name them their here,"
"Well I'm not going to miss out on this. Do you know that that harbor may have been the resting place for the Luna temple?"
"Are you joking?"
"No, I'll be there in twelve hours,"
Leading into the 2nd movie…..
