Kurtis and I were sitting on a boat headed to the site.

"So, Alexa huh? What Alexa short for?"

"How do you know it's short for anything?"

"Just trying to make conversation. Geez you're a real friendly person huh?" We were silent for a moment. I just sat there looking at the ocean.

"It's short for Alexandria." I turned to him. "Alexandira Lindsey Croft."

"I see." When the boat stopped we noticed we were here. I took off my jacket and sweat pants and was left in a white tank top and jean short. I grabbed my pistols and gear before leaving with Kurtis.

"Alright Zip. You wanna tell me how my mom got inside?" I asked radioing Zip from the house.

"Hold on a sec. Umm ok if you're where I told you to be then climb up a few feet ahead of you. Use your gear cause when you get up there's one hell of a drop. Now inside you might loose me, but everything you'd be looking for is in you PDA."

"Gotcha." I turned to Kurtis. "Let's go." He nodded and we started climbing.

"So uh how old are you anyways?" Kurtis asked.

"You ask ALOT of questions you know."

"Well I'm curious. I mean if you're as good as Zip says you are I just wanted to know." I let out a sigh.

"I'm sixteen. Seventeen in two months." Kurtis was silent for a moment. I looked back and noticed he stopped. He was just looking down.

"Why didn't see tell me?" He said quietly, like he didn't want me to hear.

"You coming?" He looked up and nodded before following me. When we go to the opening we saw how far down it was. I hooked up the cord and climbed down. When I was done Kurtis followed.

The place wasn't as bad as I thought. I meant I really couldn't tell you what this place looked like before but there were paths, ledges, whole floors still solid. We were on the third. Kurtis got down and we started looking around. I wasn't completely sure what we were even looking for. I rounded a corner and stopped suddenly going back, knocking into Kurtis.

"Hey! What the-"

"Shh!" I pointed around the corner and he took a look. "Thought nobody was going to be here?" I whispered.

"Well, Lara was looking for something here, maybe they are too."

"Alright then." I turned around and ran to another way.

"Hey!" I was running at stopped at a corner when I heard something. Suddenly the floor caved in and fell through.

I manged to slide down part of the rubble that was laid on an angle and land on my feet. Well kind of. I stumbled but caught myself with my hands before I fell.

I took out pistols. I didn't know what was around here. I had to be ready. This wasn't just some practice course from my house, it was real. I could get killed if I was too slow or didn't pay attention.

I looked over the ledge and found Rob. I suddenly got an idea. I put my pistols away and took out the glove from my bag. I could take advantage of this. I was very good at acting so I was sure I could do this. I stood up at a carful distance from the edge.

"Hey Rob!" I ducked when his men started shooting at me.

"Hold your fire!" Rob yelled. I stood up. "Miss Croft is there a reason as to why you are being so foolish as to come here alone?"

"Awe does some care?"

"I only care about that hammer you have Miss Croft. You die how am I to get it?"

"Quick question, how do you know my name?"

"Looked into a few things."

"Well look at what I have for you." I held out the piece. "I promised this to you didn't I?" I put it back in my pocket adn slid down to his level.

"You realise this means you betraying your mother." Now to give him a good story.

"Why should I take her side? All she does is lie to me and keep secrets from me."

"You're a very clever girl Miss Croft. Where's the rest?"

"My mother has them. She heard me talking to a person who helped me hid them."

"I see. Then what to do with you nnow?"

"You still don't trust me? I kept my promise in the end. I just needed to know more about what was going on. Like I knew who's side to choose at first?"

"True. You are still young. Not to mention having you on our side could be useful. Help give us the edge."

We started walking as we spoke.

"What is all this about anyways?"

"A new age. Natla plans on using Thor's hammer to strengthen the power of the scion. Using that Natla shall create a new age."

"Scion?"

"A very power Atlanian artifact."

"So that's why your here."

"Actually we were just leaving. We needed out stuff back. We had to leave remeber?"

The he got a phone call and I went inside a tent and sat down.I wondered how Kurtis was doing? I haven't heard any gunshots so I guessed he was ok. I just sat in there waiting. I wasn't sure if I was the one being played or if I was the player. If I played my cards right I'd be fine. He's the one who just gives out information anyways. What a smart guy right?

Rob came in a little bit later.

"Well Miss Croft. How would you like to meet Miss Natla?" This was my chance. To get a face to this name. Maybe even got some more information.

"Sounds good to me."

"Alright. We'll be leaving shortly. I'll send someone for you when we're ready." The he left.

There was nothing really to do so I went through all the data on my PDA. I went through everything my mom had on Atlantis and the scion. Some was really interesting. The creatures my mom saw here. I could only imagin. I felt so stupid. Here I thought all of this was some story. I guess Winston and Zip were right.

It wasn't long before someone came to get me. I followed the guard outside and to a hellicopter where I met up wit Rob once again. I hopped in and waited. I was really interested in who this women was. I had some questions I was hoping she'd answer as well.
