The room was dark, and it was silent save only for the sounds of the street below and the steady snoring of Indy.
Ren lay on the bed thinking. Miguel was her biggest hope of finding her father, but now that was ruined, and now Ren was on her own. She had Indy of course, she'd always had him, ever since the day they met. But this was getting rough, people were already dead, a girl had to grow up without her family because Ren wouldn't listen to the warnings she'd received.
Ren looked over at Gabriella who was nestled between Indy and herself, she was fast asleep tired from crying. Ren smoothed the hair away from the girl's forehead, a plan formulating in her head. It would be against her father's wishes but Ren would be damned in hell before she voluntarily led Indy into something dangerous.
Slowly she got out of the bed, paying special attention not to wake either Gabriella or Indy as she quietly got all her things together. She would have to make the rest of the journey alone; this was her father, not just some archeological object that they normally sought after, and she had a sick feeling in her stomach that she wasn't going to come back from this one. She quickly took the pad of paper and pen off the small desk and squinted in the darkness to leave a quick note.
"Bye Jones," Ren whispered into the darkness. "I love you," Then she silently closed the door behind her and made her way out of the hotel.
Indy was rudely awoken the next morning as Gabriella jumped onto him holding a piece of paper.
Indy patted her head affectionately before sitting up. Ren wasn't next to him. 'Must be in the bathroom,' He thought seeing the closed door. He sat back and stretched but Gabriella shoved the paper in his face.
"What is this?" He asked rubbing his eyes; it was too early in the morning, the sun was barely out.
Gabriella just waved it back and forth widely until he took it.
Indy tried to focus on the letters as the pale sunlight came through the window.
Indy,
I'm going on this alone. DO NOT FOLLOW ME. I MEAN IT JONES. This is bigger than either of us, he is MY DAD and it's MY job to find him, not yours. SO STAY OUT OF IT. Take Gabriella and go home, just get away from here before you get hurt. I'm serious, no one has a gun pointed at my head, no ones making me write this, so GET OUT NOW. Leave as soon as you find this, I left some money in your bag. Henry Jones Jr. if you don't take me seriously and try to find me I'll kill you myself.
Ren
Indy never felt more awake in his life as he sprung out of bed and gathered his stuff together. As if he would stay behind, Ren would not get rid of him so easily.
"Gabriella, do you have any family?" Indy asked as the girl stared at him with her dark eyes. "Uh, tu tenges familia?"
"Si," She replied.
"Good, uh, bien. Vamos a tu familia, si?''
"Si,'' she replied slowly.
"I have to go after Ren, uh yo nessicito,"
"Okay," Gabriella said.
Indy stared at her feeling like a complete moron, she spoke English.
"Alright," He said making sure he had everything. "Let's go,"
Gabriella got off the bed and they headed out together. Indy didn't know exactly where to start looking but he knew that Ren was in over her head and would need his help sooner than later.
He managed to smile down at Gabriella when she took his hand as they headed out into the early morning streets. A new day dawned, and it was going to bring more then Indy could guess.
A/N: Sorry for the long wait and the short chapter. Next chapter coming soon as long as I get some reviews! Lol. Jk. I'll post anyway.
