Ren walked slowly behind Indy as he led her to a small house.
"Why do you always have to threaten people?" Ren asked curiously.
"I didn't threaten him." Indy told her defensively
Ren rolled her eyes and stopped as she saw a small figure crouched in the corner of the porch.
Indy saw it too and walked over to where it was. He saw a small girl with large fearful eyes peering up at him through messy dark hair. Slowly he bent down to his knees and tipped back his hat.
"Its okay, I'm not going to hurt you." He promised reaching a hand out to pull back a few strands of her hair that hung in the face.
The girl quickly cried out something before she latched herself onto him. Indyquicklyd his arms around her and stood up taking her with him.
Ren watched in awe as he smoothed back the girls' hair as she cried on his shoulder. She had no idea he was good with kids. She knew he liked them but didn't know he could handle them.
"Indy?" She asked after a minute not knowing what was going on.
Indy walked over to her and handed the girl to her.
"Her names Gabriella." He told Ren as she gave him a questioning look.
"As in Miguel's daughter Gabriella?" Ren asked holding on tightly to the small trembling girl. Indy ignored her and slowly stepped through the small door.
The room was dark, musty and humid. He could hardly see, but the room smelled of death. He'd felt that presence many a times but now he was taken back.
Maybe because he didn't know the people who had been killed, maybe it was because he never took the time to ask I they had children.
Almost immediately he caught sight of the bodies lying on the floor. But it was not just Miguel. In the dim light he could make out the faint outline of a woman and a child's bodies as well. Seeing the child's lifeless form made his teeth grind together.
Ren waited patiently holding Gabriella as Indy searched inside. She could only guess what had happened and she felt pity inside her. The girl she was holding couldn't be more than five.
"Well?" Ren asked fearfully as Indy emerged from the hut with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Miguel's dead." He told her and Ren could've sworn she saw tears forming in his eyes, but he looked away from her before she could be positive.
But Ren felt her heart sink. Miguel was the only one who would know where to take them. And she herself felt like she might cry.
Indy gently put an arm around Ren's shoulder and ruffled Gabriella's dark hair.
"We'll find someone else Ren, I promised you I'd help and I'll be damned if I give up now."
Ren only nodded in a silent thanks.
"Lets go see if we can find somewhere to stay overnight." He suggested leading her back where they had come from not ten minutes ago. Knowing that if he found who had done that, he would give them no mercy.
A/N: Love you all!
