"Indy!" Ren hissed in his ear. "We're going to get into trouble again and I
just got ungrounded yesterday and would like it to be that way for a
while."
"We wont get into trouble," Indy promised giving her a cocky grin.
"Famous last words." She mumbled but nevertheless followed him to the outskirts of town.
Indy smiled to himself. He had only known her for only a month and they had already gotten grounded for one. But they had an instant connection and found out that they both had a knack for getting themselves in difficult situations and for finding trouble.
"Where are we going anyway?" Ren asked in a soft voice as they took cover from a passerby in the shadows of a barn.
"I'll show you," He said mysteriously taking her hand and leading her behind the large building.
"Okay, Jones, I am SO not going to make out with you." Ren objected.
"Darn," Indy said with mock disappointment.
"What? Where are we going?" Ren demanded to know as he led her over the train tracks.
"I'll show you," Indy told again.
"Great, you wake me up at three in the morning, lead me through a town that I barely know, and wont give me a straight answer when I ask you where we're going." Ren muttered.
"Yep," Indy agreed shrugging his shoulders.
"You're a really odd one, you know that?"
Indy nodded and they walked in silence for a while. The sounds of the night engulfing them as the lights from the town became more distant. An owl hooted from somewhere nearby making Ren jump.
"Indy," She whispered getting closer to him.
"What?" He asked tightening his grip on her hand.
"What was that?" She asked and he could almost feel her breath on his neck.
"An owl," He said with a laugh.
"That's not funny," She objected lightly slapping his arm. "We don't have owls in Egypt."
Indy nodded and they continued. She was still very close to him making him feel comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. He gave a small groan and let his grip on her hand lessen. He hated how she confused him.
"Indy are you okay?" Ren asked walking beside him.
"Yeah I'm okay." He lied moving a little farther away from her.
"You sure?" She pressed.
"Yes I'm sure now will you please close your eyes?" He asked stopping before they continued anymore.
"Why?" She asked curiously stopping with him.
"Because I want to show you something and I don't want you to see it before hand." He told her motioning for her to close her eyes.
"Okay," She sighed closing her eyes. "I'm going to trust you on this one."
Indy waited for a few seconds and waved his hand in front of her face to make sure she wasn't looking before leading her off again.
*** Indy slowly opened his eyes to find the sun up. He had been having dreams of Ren and himself as kids for the past few nights now and every single time woke up before he could finish the memory.
He blinked a few times before rolling onto his side to find Ren sleeping next to him. They had both agreed to share a room, though Ren promised she'd kill him if he tried anything funny. But he thought it was interesting that she would tolerate sleeping in the same bed with him.
He saw her face twist in pain and heard her mumble something indecipherable. But he knew it was probably about her dad. There was nothing more at that moment that Indy wanted to do than take her in his arms and promise her that they'd find him. Instead he gently pulled a dark strand of loose hair from her face to behind her ear.
Indy watched with interest as she jerked away from his touch and settled herself quite a distance away from him on the large bed. She hadn't ever done that, he'd been the only man alive, that he knew of, that she let within arms reach. The thought of her not trusting him was hurtful. Though he'd never admit it to her or anyone else, ever.
Maybe she wasn't dreaming of her dad, maybe she was dreaming of another man who she let get close. Closer than she let him. Silently Indy pondered on who it could have been and what had happened him.
Ren wasn't the kind of girl you could just forget about in your life and move on. He would know; he spent years trying to. In every woman he met he saw some aspect of her, especially Deirdre.
He knew that's why they were so compatible; Ren and her were so much alike, Deirdre being though the more intimate one. A pang of grief went into him like a knife, sending tears to start forming in the corners of his eyes. Even now it hurt to think of her.
"Indy?" A voice asked from beside him and he looked to see Ren staring up at him, concern written all over her face.
"I'm alright," He told her blinking several times to get the tears away. Ren however sat up and looked into his eyes.
"No your not," She disagreed pulling the sheet up to her knees.
"Do you remember the first time we went on a midnight rendezvous?" He asked trying to get off the subject.
"Yes, how can I forget? You scared the hell out of me when you led me to that cave," She said with a laugh.
"Did we get grounded for one or two weeks after that?" Indy asked remembering how they had almost gotten lost in the tunnels.
"Three," She responded with a grimace. "And I had just gotten ungrounded the day before,"
"Ah the good old days," He commented with a chuckle.
"Yes, now all we do is either get fired or get killed for doing stupid things," She replied with a yawn throwing off the sheet and getting up.
Indy didn't reply he was too interested on watching her go move about the room trying to get her clothes together to get changed. They had to find her father. He knew that, he also knew they were pressed for time.
A/N: Deirdre was Indy's wife in the book series. Yes I read them in 8th grade cause there was nothing else even remotely interesting in our school library. Anyways she died and yeah. So yeah that's my little FYI for this chap. Takes me forever to write these things, specially since my beta tester person always presses me to write my POTC fic. SO THANX FOR READING AND REVIEWING!!!
