A little later Indy goes to a local bar to meet Vito. He sees Vito sitting with another gentleman about 30 years old at a table.
Vito: Dr. Jones! Please sit down. Thank you for coming. This is my college and friend Max Kelly.
Max talks with an Australian accent.
Max: Good ta meetcha mate!
Indy: Likewise I'm sure.
Vito: Can I get you a drink?
Indy: Scotch on the rocks would be fine.
Vito nods to the waiter who was standing there.
Vito: Allow me to tell you why I have asked to speak with you.
Vito gets out a copy of the New York Times. It's dated back to 1918. There is an article that mentions Vito.
Vito: Read this article.
Indy looks at it for a few seconds.
Indy: This is about you?
Vito: Yes. About 13 years ago my wife and daughter were on a plane back home when they crashed somewhere over Asia. They were never found.
Indy: I'm sorry to hear that, but I don't understand what I can help you with.
Vito: (to Max) Show Dr. Jones the article.
Max: Perhaps this will explain.
Max takes out another article from some Australian paper. It's dated 1931.
Max: This is the paper from my hometown in Australia.
Indy: (reading the paper) It says a young woman about mid 20s has been sighted a number of times near the coast of Bangladesh Jungle.
Max: I was the one who told the story to the paper. Me and a friend were exploring down there. We take a yearly trip to explore different parts of the world, and this time we went to Bangladesh. We both saw the Jungle woman, but when we tried to talk to her she disappeared into the treetops. Later on that night we were ambushed by natives. My friend was captured but I escaped with my life. I didn't want to leave him there but…
Indy: You had no choice. I understand. This jungle woman…was she one of the natives.
Max: I don't think so. She was light skinned. The natives were very dark.
Indy: So you think she may be…
Vito: Yes Dr. Jones…I believe she may be my daughter. The plane lost communication in the same area. It must be her. You understand I must try and find her.
Indy: But how did you hear about this jungle woman story from New York.
Vito: I have a friend in Australia who read it and called me with his theory. I then contacted Max and told him we could help each other out.
Max: I'm hoping my friend is O.K., but time is vitally important. I know where to begin looking but we need an expert like you to help.
Vito: We have read about your many adventures Dr. Jones and the thing about this jungle…most people don't dare go in it. It is said to be filled with terrors beyond imagination. You are one of the only men in the world we think could handle such a challenge. We are willing to pay of course. $25,000. Weather we find my daughter or Max's friend or not, you get the entire sum.
A big grin comes over Indy's face.
Indy: That's a very tempting offer gentlemen. When did you wish do depart?
