Jankovic, Oktan and Kazim and several other mercenaries and soldiers crawled through the hole that Lara and her two companions crawled through while Ivan, Slavik, Kovak and Zima stayed back. When the coast was clear and there were only two mercenaries with them, Slavik pulled Kovak off to the side, making sure that he steps in already existing footsteps.

"What's the matter Slavik?" Kovak asked as they stopped. Slavik gave Kovak a furious look. "What are you planning you wannabe-Lara-Croft-rapist?"

Slavik made an amused smile upon being called a rapist. He whispers softly to his friend. "I know we are just following orders, but I don't think Lara deserves to wear the Trinity badge." Slavik reasoned. "You remember back in Siberia-when I spotted her behind that church and you knocked her out-how many of our friends died because of her. She will bring us nothing but pain and anguish as long as we look at her. She can slit all of our throats in our sleeps. Even if we brainwash her, then how long until her programming and brainwashing end. Once that happens, then she'll slit our throats."

Kovak agreed to this plan not to support his friend, but because he had a bone to pick with Lara. "She killed my uncle two years ago. Commander Montez saw it and told me about it. I wanted to hurt Lara so badly, but he told me not to. I agree with you."

"Me too."

Both men snap their heads and see Zima and Ivan standing there with the remaining two mercenaries. Zima was was the man who said 'me too.'

"Why would you guys want to kill Lara?" Kovak asked.

"She killed Konstantine and Ana, they were my friends. I met them before I met you three."

Ivan spoke next. "My son was a casualty in Syria. When she blew up that tomb, my son was lost in the cave-in. She deserves no mercy from Trinity or me."

"It seems we all have a bone to pick with Lara," Kovak says. "What about Jankovic?"

Slavik shook his head, growling. "No, after the way he treated you and for his objections for genuinely not wanting to kill Lara, he can't be included in this conversation. There has to be a new commander for Trinity."

"So we are going to kill him along with Ben and Nadia." Kovak clarified. "He's been with Trinity since he was thirty-seven. We've all seen Jankovic survive even the most dire situations, how is he even going to die by one of our hands?"

Zima already hatched up a solution. "I say when Trinity acquires the Crown of Immortality, then we take it from him by force and then we blow up this place, with Jankovic tied up inside." He took a step forward. "As of now, I'm taking charge and any actions as of now are unsanctioned so if any of you guys want out, then step forward."

Zima waited exactly ten seconds for someone to step forward and nobody did. They were fully committed to what they were about to do and they were prepared for the point of no return.

I've got to tell Jankovic.

Ivan took a step backwards, walking into the footsteps and follows Jankovic. "I'll keep a close eye on Jankovic, it'll be best if I go alone, avoid detection."

That story he told about his son being a casualty in Syria was all bullshit. He was not loyal to Trinity as a whole, he was loyal to Jankovic only. Him and his best friend Ivar, who was still in London with the others.

Zima nodded. "Remember, you are part of the new world now."

Ivan hurried off, crawling through the hole that Jankovic crawled through with the others. He had to hurry up because not only was he a full eye and ear witness to the coup against Jankovic, he also had solid evidence. The wire that Jankovic told him to wear to keep a close eye and ear on the rapist recorded everything. As far as he was concerned, Zima, Slavik and Kovak were busted. The second time that Slavik and Kovak were busted at the drop of a hat, the first was during their failed capture of Lara back in London.

Ivan was there in the Yucatan Peninsula. When Lara was there with several guides, Ivan was the one to witness the near rape of Lara Croft after the two forced her to kill one of her guides. Kovak held her down and Slavik was the one yanking her pants down. The only reason why she escaped was because during the heavy rain and dangerous lightning storm that went on, lightning struck the trees nearby, scaring the soldiers and gave Lara enough time to escape. Ivan was a man who was totally against rape and was the one who actually opposed to raping Lara.

The only reason that Lara did not recognize Kovak back in the bar was because he kept his face as concealed as possible.

Ivan followed the three set of footprints, making sure that he never leaves his own and tries his hardest to catch up with Jankovic and warn him of the coup. But a sudden rumble shook him off of his balance for a brief second.

Lara, Ben and Nadia kept walking down the path, leaving fresh footprints behind until they met a dead end rock wall. Lara shined her light all across the wall, but she never found any other kind of entrance. Ben and Nadia were no more successful.

One odd thing was on the rock wall in front of them, there were several paintings. Lara took a closer look at them and rubbed the paintings. It appeared to be a painting of some kind of object. People have already excavated this place because the dust around the painting was fresh, but no one excavated further.

"I think this is the Crown of Immortality," Ben says as he walks forward, gazing at the painting. "There was not really any much of a description in that thing that Aaron wrote."

"Who knows about the inscription you found?" she asked.

Ben shrugged. "So far, only me and several MI5 and MI6 agents know about it, but a few of them died in a plane crash five months ago." Or at least that is what I have been told, and I speculate that Trinity has something to do with it. He remembers being told that Agent Harkov was discovered in an African desert. Apparently, he had a suitcase handcuffed to his wrist due to red marks on his wrist and the cause of his death was him plummeting from a great height. Yep, Trinity definitely.

"Hold this," Lara ordered as she handed Ben her flashlight. She shoulders the wall, pain surging through her but she ignored. She shoulders the wall three more times before she falls through. She disappears through and falls into a pit of water.

With her elbows covered in water, she sits on her knees and looks around her. Without her flashlight, she would not be able to find her way out. She reaches back through the hole she fell through and felt a flashlight in her hand. She turns it on and fills the room with light.

"Guys, you might want to take a look at this!" She shouts just loud enough for Ben and Nadia to hear. "This place is unbelievable."

Ben and Nadia climb through and shined the room with their flashlights.

"The Tomb of the Crown of Immortality." Lara crawled forward, climbing back to her feet. "Ben and Nadia, I guess we are in the Tomb of the Crown of Immortality."

The room they were in had not a single speck of dust and the ground was painted a deep gold color while the walls had a crimson red color. In the center of the room stood an empty pedestal surrounded by three spiky spears sticking out of the ground and pointing at the pedestal in all three directions. Like key, fill and back lights for interviews.

"So the crown is hidden here? All I can say is...wow," Nadia spoke. "I thought we would see something even more epic here."

"Well, we aren't here to seek epicness," Ben told. "We are here to look for the Crown of Immortality and study it."

"Study it and see if we can save people without making them immortal," Lara added. "And to keep it away from Trinity. By the way, am I the only one who got a weird feeling from those two porters we had wit us?"

"Nope," Nadia answered. "I saw them grinning and chuckling whenever your back was turned to them. They are definitely up to something."

Ben took a step forward towards the pedestal. Lara and Nadia kept the light on the pedestal and watched as Ben performed his magic. He crept around the spears and prepares to put a single hand on the pedestal.

"Wait, don't!" Lara shouted. "Don't do it, it's never that easy. Don't put your hand on that pedestal."

Ben took Lara's advice and retracted his hand. He called Lara up so she could analyze the situation. "What do we got here?"

"Remember what the inscription said, the name of God and the Throne of God are the combinations." She examined the pedestal and the spears around it. Each of the pedestals had some kind of Hebrew writing on it and Hebrew was not a language that she could read. She asked Ben if he could read Hebrew, but he was unable to as well.

"I can read Hebrew."

Lara and Ben turned towards Nadia. Lara said, "You can?" in a shocked voice.

"My mom used to study linguistics and I sorta paid attention I guess." Nadia moved forward towards the three spears. She began reading right off the bat or rather right off the spear. "Okay, so the spear on the left is the Throne of God while the one on the right is the Name of God. The third one, it's kinda faded so I can't really read it."

"I'm sure we'll figure it out," Lara said. "I guess we should get to it. Let's start with the Name of God, which is Jehova."

Nadia shook her head. "No don't, this is Hebrew writing, meaning that we are dealing with the Hebrew Bible and in the Hebrew Bible, there is another name of God. If we screw up, then these spears might launch into our backs and kill us. We have to do this the Hebrew way."

Lara looked at her with amazement. "Looks like someone is no longer panicking under pressure. So what do we do?"

Ben noted how on the tall pedestal, that there were some bricks that looked like they could be rotated. "Look at these bricks on the pedestal. They look like they can be rotated." Lara and Nadia got a closer look before Ben continued. "You see, if you turn the bricks in a certain direction, then it creates an illusion. If we turn it the right way, then maybe the pedestal will reveal whatever is inside for us to see. But we have to complete the Throne of God and Name of God. Since God sits on a throne, the throne has to be at the bottom with God on top. The way how I said it makes me sound super smart and less hard."

Lara turned to Nadia. "This is your show N. You seem to know your Bible studies and your Hebrew so whatever happens next is up to you."

Now Nadia was beginning to get nervous. "Okay, give me a few moments. I promise you that I will unlock whatever key this holds."

"Don't make promises you can't keep Nadia." The sound of a guncocked was heard and it caused the three to turn around and come face-to-face with a tall man with curly black hair. "No guns, shame," the man said sarcastically. "No need to introduce yourselves. I know who you guys are. You are Nadia, and you are Ben Wheldon."

Lara raised her hands after a Trinity mercenary named Kazim stripped her of her equipment. "Hey then Kazim, I knew I smelt a rat."

"I'd watch your tone Miss Croft, that 'rat' works for Trinity now." Jankovic smiles at Lara. It wasn't a creepy or sadistic smile, it was more of a smile that offered comfort and reassurance. "I forgot to introduce myself which is very rude of me. Bad manners give Trinity a bad name. My name is Jankovic Jurisa, superior officer of your friendly neighborhood Trinity. Trust me, I do not want any harm to be brought to you. I promise you."

Ben and Nadia were stripped of their equipment as well. Nadia recognized Jankovic. "He's the one who chased me in Paris."

"Me and Zima. I guess I should apologize. You see, I was not chasing you with intention on killing you, in a way, I was saving you because if any of my men, either Slavik or Kovak got their hands on you, then they would have raped you and Lara." He looked somewhat sad, but his gun was still trained on the three. So were the others' guns.

"How do you know about Ben?" Lara demanded.

"Now you ask huh? An agent who just happened to be flying right next to us help give us a file."

"You killed those agents!" Ben shouted. "You killed those MI5 agents in Africa, didn't you?"

"Yes," he answered casually. "Water under the bridge. What is more important is what kind of puzzle were you guys trying to solve. Nadia I believe was trying to solve it. Do not let us interrupt you because we are just here for what comes after you discover whatever is inside that pedestal. Say the Crown of Immortality."

"She's not helping you out you bastards!" Lara stepped forward, ready to punch the Trinity commander in the face, but she stopped dead in her path. She realized that they were outnumbered three to nine and they were defenseless.

"I gotta say Lara, you look as beautiful as ever." Jankovic spoke in a rather fatherly voice instead of a villainous way. Lara was actually not disgusted by it in any way possible, but she was confused by his statement. "It was my tenth year in the Spetsnaz before I met you and it feels like just yesterday your father and I sat down on the park bench and watched you swing on the swing set."

Lara narrowed her eyes. "You knew my father?" She took a few steps closer to him.

"A very good man, the only friend I had, even when I served as a mercenary for Trinity when I turned thirty. It broke my heart when I saw Richard Croft die."

She punches him.
