They set off through the jungle Indy in the lead followed by Rikki, Willie and Shorty. They finally stopped near sundown. They set up camp the guides left the four alone and Indy, Shorty and Rikki sat near the fire while Willie got changed and played poker. Rikki watched while Shorty beat Indy for all of his money. Rikki laughed every time Shorty won. I was very funny seeing a ten year old beat middle aged man at poker. Willie finished screaming and hanging the wet clothes up when she sat down to watch the two as well. Shorty finally got up to go to bed and Rikki went to help him. Willie stayed with Indy. They started talking when Rikki walked back over.
"Indy what did that kid give you the other night?" She asked sitting down next to Indy. She took the parchment and examined it while Indy finished his conversation with Willie.
"So how are you two related?" She asked she did not know they were married yet.
"Rikki is my Wife," He said putting his arm around Rikki but she ignored it still looking at the parchment and her notebook comparing something.
"Oh, I did not know you were married, I thought she was your sister,"
"Oh yeah like I would be his sister," She said with a heavy Australian accent. She was able to disguise her accent so she sounded like an American.
"So how did you two meet?" Willie asked as Rikki went back to looking at the parchment.
"I came to her for help with a project in Australia and then saved her life during a fight at her reunion and then a month later I proposed," He said smiling.
"Wow," she said
"What about you?" Indy asked
"Nothing," she said looking over to Rikki
"You know you look nothing like an Archeologist," she said studying Rikki. She was right Rikki looked like a model or something. Not like an archeologist.
"I know I get that a lot," she said looking up
"How did you get started in the business?"
"I wanted to be a Marine Biologist but that did not work out and I love adventure and it was the only job to get me away from home. I wanted Adventure, to travel the world and I love history so it just fit," Rikki said
"Wow,"
"Yeah Wow," Rikki said looking back to her notes
"Willie how did you get into singing?" Indy asked
"I just love to sing," She said getting up
"Where are you going?" Indy asked
"Over here,"
"Don't go too far," he warned when she picked up a snake thinking it was the elephant's trunk and Indy froze with fear. Then Indy sat down with Rikki to look deeper into the parchment while Willie and Short Round slept. Not much later Rikki and Indy fell asleep.

They woke up the next morning and set off to Pankot palace. They made it to a statue of Kali. Indy went to check it out while the others stayed behind. The guides left with the elephants and Willie Shorty and Rikki waited for Indy to walk back.
"Indy what is it?" Rikki yelled.
"Don't come over here," Indy warned as he walked back to them and they started towards the palace. It took hours but they finally made it. They met the Prime Minister and he showed them where they would be staying. Rikki agreed to stay with Willie while Shorty and Indy shared the other room. Rikki went over to Indy's room to take a bath.
"Why don't you use your own room?" Indy asked
"I am not sharing a bathroom with that…," She stopped herself realizing Shorty was in the room. She took her bath and put a robe on to walk over to her room. When she got there she noticed two beautiful dresses. One in Gold and one in Silver. Rikki took the silver one and got changed. She went down to the dining room a little while later followed by Shorty and Willie. Indy was already down there.
"Rikki you look Wow," Indy said lost for words
"Thanks," She said and the let out a slight laugh.
They sat down to eat. Rikki next to Indy at one end and Shorty next to Willie at the other. Indy was talking to a British general and then to the prime minister. He paid no attention to the snake surprise or to any other food that came through. Rikki looked too discussed to even look at the food. She had something like it before but never noticed what it looked like with the heads still attached. After the dinner they all went back to their rooms. They got changed and just sat waiting for something to do. Rikki and Willie were talking in one room and Indy was fighting for his life in the other with Shorty. Indy came over to the other room and was searching for someone in their room. But nothing then he fond a secret passage way and he and Shorty took it. Willie stayed behind with Rikki. Rikki felt really sick from the food and Willie was a little woozy from it as well. So they stayed behind waiting for the boys to get back or to call for help. What ever came first.
