Chapter 6
"Ren," Indy hissed throwing a rock at the second story windowpane.
He waited for a moment until he saw the light turn on and a stiletto figure opened the window.
"Its one o'clock in the morning!" He heard her cry and he could make out her face in the light.
"There's some activity near Begger's Canyon." He told her smiling. He knew she liked him coming at random hours of the night.
"So?" He heard her as she propped her head in her hands.
"So why don't we check it out?" He asked concerned at her big deal tone.
"I'm still kinda sick," Was her soft reply.
"Can I come up than?" He asked immediately without really even meaning to.
"What?" She almost shrieked.
"Can I come up than?" He repeated a little louder.
"Ummm...sure."
In a flash she was gone from the window and he guessed it was to put something else on. Her nightclothes were rather raunchy, not that he cared but still she liked to be modest.
Indy looked around to see if he could find an easy way to get up there and thought he could maybe try to climb up the tree next to her house when a rope ladder came flying from the window and knocked him on the head.
"Ow," He said moving the rope and looking up at her ruefully.
"Sorry," She apologized meekly.
Indy just shrugged and climbed up although wondering why she would have a rope ladder in her room.
He reached her window in no time and Ren helped him through the small window.
"Why do you have that in your room?" He asked with a grin standing up fully.
Ren just shook her head and sat down on her messed up bed.
"How've you been?" she asked crossing her legs and looking at him.
"Bored." Indy confessed, trying not to stare at her thin white shirt.
"What is Frank not keeping you entertained?" She asked with a small laugh.
"No, but how about you?" He asked noting she still looked a little pale.
"Oh I'm alive, cant really complain all that much rather than my fear of snakes has escalated to a point where I cant even stand seeing one,"
"Sorry," Indy apologized sitting next to her. It had been his fault she got bit. He should have never even suggested going out to those caves.
"Its okay, but I heard you got in a bit of a fix yourself. With a mysterious hat man and all,"
Indy shook his head and looked down. "Dad tell you that?"
"No, I doubt he even knows, but I heard it from quite a few people, including the sheriff you little delinquent you,"
He detected a little bit of sarcasm in her voice but nevertheless gave her a look.
"I'm just kidding, shesh, its not like I'm any better I just haven't lived here as long so they don't know me yet."
"But I know you and you are worse," He teased making her blush.
It was quiet for a few minutes letting Indy survey her room. It was a dark tan color with shelves lining almost all her walls filled with trinkets and books, a small desk near the window and the bed he was sitting on with the door next to him and a door across the room.
"Hey Indy," She said breaking the silence. He looked at her puzzled at her tone of voice; it sounded a lot quieter and made her sound vulnerable.
"Thanks for helping me back at the caves,"
"No problem," Indy told her becoming a little uneasy at the direction their conversation was going.
"No really, I appreciate it, you didn't have to help but you did,"
"Yeah, it was really no problem. You would have done the same for me,"
"Really now? Are you sure about that?" She asked teasingly leaning in towards him and tapping his wrist.
"I'm not so sure I'd suck venom from your wrist, now if it was from your lips yes, wrist no."
"What?" Indy asked startled at what she just said.
"You heard me Jones, now are you going to kiss me or do I have to make the second move?"

Indy woke up groggily as he felt soft fingers trace his face.
"Ren?" He asked disbelievingly as his vision cleared a little and he saw her sitting on the edge of the bed, her hand still on his cheek.
"Shh," she whispered putting a finger to his lips to silence him. He was so much fun to watch when he slept.
"Kiss me," Indy asked taking her hand and pulling her closer to him.
"Henry Jones!" Ren shouted shooting up from the bed ripping her hand from his quicker than a jackrabbit.
"Why do you do that?" Indy asked sitting up against the headboard as she sat at the edge of the bed.
"Do what?" She asked nervously popping her knuckles.
Indy leaned in closer to her and she got up from the bed.
"That," He told her as she went over to the mirror. "Why do you keep on distancing yourself from me like I'm going to hurt you?" He asked frustrated.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Ren said a little flustered as she tried to get the bobby pins out of her hair.
"Cut the crap Ren, what happened?" Indy demanded to know getting off the bed, shaking off his sleep, and standing behind her.
"Who was he?" He asked in a lower tone watching her face intently in the mirror as it went red.
Ren bit her lip and continued to try to get the pins out but Indy intervened. Gently he grasped her hands and put them down to her sides and began to take out the pins himself.
"Stop it Jones," Ren hissed turning around suddenly startling him.
"Stop what Ren?" He asked taking a step closer to her.
"Leave me alone," She told him her eyes narrowing.
"A little late now sweetheart," He said humoring her.
Ren turned and tried to get out the door but again Indy stopped her.
"Stop trying to get away from me, the more you fight the harder I try," He told her leaning against the doorframe.
"The more you try the meaner I fight," Ren told him kneeing his groin making him double over in pain.
"So I suggest you stop trying," She advised opening the door and going out leaving Indy on the floor trying to compose himself.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long to write this, my computer's fried so I get to do this stuff like once a month.
To anyone that's also reading my other story To Keep a Promise, its uhhh...done but I gave the disk to my editor to edit so whenever she posts them is when she posts them. As for this I am posting myself so it might take a while to finish.
Thanks for R & R-ing.
