"Dammit!" Moaned Lara as a blank Google result appeared on her computer screen. It was a thundering night at the Croft Mansion and Lara felt like doing some 'homework' on the Lux Veritatis, Which she had been working on for weeks since her tiring return from Prague.

She couldn't help herself but remember the fading images of her close friend Kurtis Trent. The last time she ever saw of him was when he saved her from Boaz, she tried to wait up for him but it was too late and she had to go on, leaving him to fight Boaz. He couldn't have survived such a huge loss of blood. In the end she would had given anything for him to be alive. Instead all she had to remember him by was the metallic Frisbee disk that Kurtis was able to manoeuvre with his mind.

After having a pitiful little daydream, she let out a big yawn and decided to go to bed. As she arrived in her bedroom, she heard the "ring ring" coming from her mobile. She slowly flipped it open. "Hello?"

Within a few seconds a familiar American voice replied "Is that Ms Croft?"

"It is" She groaned, rubbing a hand over he face.

"Just to let you know that your package will arrive at 10am tomorrow morning."

"Lovely," Lara murmured sarcastically. "Goodnight." She flipped her phone closed, cancelling the call.

'What kind of retard would call just to let me know that?' She thought to herself as she placed her phone on her bedside cabinet. 'But hey, I'm sure I know that voice from somewhere' Her conscience replied.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" Screamed Lara's alarm clock, much to her annoyance. Lara punched out and hit the snooze button, momentarily silencing the damn thing. As she leaped out of bed she straightened her silk nightie and wrapped her matching dressing-gown around her athletic body. Suddenly she heard another violent buzz coming from downstairs, must be the dopey delivery man. When she got to the door she dragged it open to reveal no parcels, no delivery man but stood there himself was Kurtis.

"Kurtis? What are you doing here?" Lara Asked. He had his hand pressed against his side and it was gushing with blood, he suddenly let out a cry in pain. Lara could see that he was in no state for an explanation so she took him upstairs to her bathroom and wrapped him in white fluffy towels.

Within time he raised his head and said "Thanks, I owe you one"

"My pleasure" She replied

"I had to find my chiragui, and find out if you were OK"

"Well I'm fine and your spinny thing is in the library come on"
