Mother and daughter clambered up into the sunshine.

"Is this where he fought that Nazi and you almost got stuck in a plane?"

"Yep. I was trying to get Belloq drunk but didn't succeed around that time."

"Sounds like me on no sleep and caffeine. Now, what about Grandpa?"

"He is in disguise in Cairo. He was hiding during the Ark adventure but now is staying by Sallah's. As soon as we get out of here, we'll try to find him."

"How do you know?"

"I heard the guards talking about possibly capturing him a few years ago."

"So, Lizzy, you escaped, "Toht laughed. This is going to be quite a bargain: getting rid of all the Joneses in one trip!"

----------------------------------

"We're here! First thing's first. We need to find Sallah."

"Why?"

"He's the best digger in Cairo, plus, he knows how to get on the Nazis' good side. We got the fake Ark, and he's transportation."

"Aha ."

It didn't take them long to reach the familiar house and for Indy to remember the monkey.

"Indy, my friend, so nice to see you. Who's the boy?" Sallah enthusiastically welcomed.

"My son. It turns out Marion was held captive by Belloq."

"What brings you here?"

"Toht's son took my sister." Mutt interjected before Indy had the chance."

"He wants the Ark, Sallah, and we found a substitute."

"How?"

" In the future, people make a movie about us , and…"

"Really, a movie?" Sallah interrupted.

"As I was saying, we went to the future and grabbed the prop of it."

'What is this prop you speak of."

"Sallah, it was meant to be the Ark but is fake, a replica, for the movie."

"Pops, why do you have to explain that?"

"Shut up, Junior! Man, I did that again!"

"Junior?" Sallah asked.

"Actually, I'm the Third. I don't know why they decided to torture me the same way Grandpa did to Pops."

----------------------------------------

"You got it?" Rob asked.

"Yes." The Joneses and Sallah said in unison.

"Too bad, I'm going to kill them no matter what. You all deserve it."

"Indiana Jones, I knew someday you'd come back and rescue me."

"Aw, Marion, you just had to get kidnapped again!"

"Well, excuse me, someone faked my death and I couldn't help it you………" (Insert stream of 4 letter words)

"Mom, watch the language!" Elizabeth warned.

"Sorry, old habit. What I meant to say was I was trying to escape, no thanks to you."

"Why does that sound familiar?"

"Think, Jones, think really hard."

"1936 Ark?"

"You got it, buster."

"It was Belloq."

"Hey, quit the chit-chatting and coffee clutch over there!" Mutt interjected. "Aren't you two forgetting something?"

"Yah, Daddy, like my supposed boyfriend trying to exterminate us." Elizabeth said.

"Indiana Jones ,adieu." Rob said, pointing a gun at him.

"Quit quoting Belloq!" Marion punched him in the jaw, redirecting the gun, setting it off, causing his corpse to fly into the Well of Souls."

"Let the snakes eat their own dead." Indy commented.

"Oh, good, you remembered. I guess we have to get remarried since everyone thought I was dead."

"Awkward." The twins chorused in unison.

"We have to go and tell your grandpa."

"How did my dad get dragged into this?"

"No, Jones, I found out Abner's alive."

---------------------------------

As the adobe walls of Aber's new living quarters approached, Indy had an uneasy feeling. Would his former teacher still be furious to see his daughter with a, well, with him. Marion cautiously opened the door. "Abner?" She called.

"Marion, is that you? For a moment, I thought I saw a ghost. And what's that dirty, good for nothing slime ball doing in the doorway?"

"Abner, that was twenty eight years ago. We found the Ark in 1936 and got back together."

"So, you married that scoundrel?"

"Yah, the year before that. We have two kids."

"You don't say."

"Grandpa!" Libby ran in and tackled him.

"Just like you." Abner observed.

"Hey, Gramps." Mutt strolled in.

"I can see where he gets that from." he looked over to Indy. If only Samantha was here to see it. Then they'd be a complete family.

"Dad. Dad, snap out of it!" Marion yelled.

"Wha? What did you say?"

"I said we're flying back to the States and are going to renew our vows. It would be great if you were there."

-------------------------------

Still be-fedoraed * Indy and Marion stood at the alter.

"And do you, Marion…" The minister was cut off by a , "Why do you even need to ask?" from Marion. The twins gave each other identical looks of amusement and disgust as their mother threw her bouquet at the minister and started making out with their father.

"Get a room!" Someone in the congregation yelled.

They broke apart long enough for Indy to retort, "It's a wedding, we're supposed to show affection!"

All too soon, it was time to go, and the entire Jones family departed for their next grand adventure.

Epilogue: What happens next

Elizabeth dates an amazing guy friend and eventually marries him. He also becomes an archaeologist.

Mutt is forced to sell his motorcycle and goes into business at a mechanic shop and marries much later in life.

Two new children are added by Marion and Indy : Anna Jane and Mordecai James .

Abner dies at 104 years old.

A.N.

* couldn't find a better way to say still wearing his hat without sounding dorkey.

No portable electric chairs for Toht to die in. Sorry , Ani, but good idea.

I had to put in some movie allusions and Star Wars if I could.

The wedding scene inspired by the actual one in Indy 4

Wahoo, another one finished. This last installment took up 2 ½ pages on Works, an oxymoron if I ever saw one ,except for the card feature usually, and this. Hopefully I can concentrate on updating Truth Revealed and my other Indy one I've needed to update for about a year.
