Tomb raider: let the monster in

Chapter 6:

Alister was walking around in the library, looking at books and admiring the tasteful design.
He looked pretty much like a little kid in the candy store.
If it hadn't been for Alisters cute behavior Zip probably wouldn't have had that smile on his face, it was by no way amusing to see a person who normally knew every ins and outs of a place, suddenly "seeing it for the first time" but he just couldn't help but smirk a little as the archeologist was running around reading the names of every book mumbling about how much there was to choose from.

Alister stopped in front of a wine red book and picked it out. He exanimate it and read the first page quickly. Then he smiled as if he had made his choice.

-This one sounds interesting, it supposed to be about-

-Sea creatures, such as the kraken, nessy and the world serpent. Zip interrupted him. Alister turned around and gave him a confused look, Zip just smiled.
-you read that one, didn't like it. Take another one instead.
Alister eyed him some more, then he nodded and put the book back in place.
-Well you do know me best I suppose. He mumbled as he continued his search for books.

-Did I ever mention a book I liked then?

-Many times! Zip moaned. -Heck if I could remember all of them! He scratched his head and looked thoughtful for a while, then he nodded slowly like he was confirming something for himself.

-I think you said you enjoyed the César...something.
Alister pouted.
-Well that is a big help. Never mind then, I will just have to find something myself... He shook his head and continued, then he jumped as the door slammed open and Lara steeped inside.

-Hello lads! She greeted them.
-How is it going for you?
Alister didn't even bother to turn around he simply shrugged and kept looking for books. Lara turned to Zip who was standing in the staircase watching them.
He looked down at her as well.
-So...you have a plan? He asked.

Lara smirked and wrinkled her eyebrows.
-Well...first of I think we should find out exactly where Amanda is at the moment, then I was thinking I should stop by and have a little chat with her.

Zip smiled and nodded.
-Good thinking lady Croft. He said in a mock English accent. Then he paused and gave her a serious look - But you do know that she probably isn't just gonna hand back your dads book even if she's the one who has it?

Lara nodded. Of course she hadn't been expecting Amanda to help her out, they were not on the same side anymore, even if Amanda admitted she was the one who took the book, Lara could bet anything on that she wouldn't return it no matter how nice she asked.

-Yes I know that Zip, But I was hoping that maybe I could get some information anyway, besides I have to start somewhere don't I?
Zip stood up straight and stretched, then he jumped down the stairs and made his way over to Alister who was examining yet another book. The hacker tapped the old cover with his finger.

-That one. He smiled. -You'll love that one.
Alister looked up at him, gave him a small timid smile and nodded.
Zip turned back to Lara.
-right, I'll go and look her up then.

Lara nodded and watched Zip leave the room, then she turned and looked at Alister who had taken his usual seat by the window. Lara shook her head, then she followed Zip out of the library.

-Well it was as good as impossible to find anything about this woman, but here's what I've got.
Zip said and brought a couple of small windows on the computer screen. Lara watched with interest as Zip told her about his findings.
-Apparently she was last seen somewhere in Moscow Russia. My guess is that she lives there or at least stays there for the moment, anyway.
o the interesting part. Says here she's been going to Treleborg in Sweden an lot lately.

Zip turned and looked at Lara, she rose an eyebrow and smiled.

-then we're going to Sweden too. I'm leaving as soon as you're done with the preparations, she said as she turned and left the room.
