Uncharted 2: Between the scenes

Chapter 7: Jungle Work

"What are we looking for, Harry?" Said Chloe as soon as she got out of the chopper. She got her backpack and opened, checking if everything was there: ropes, ammo, knives, food and water and, luckily it was. She didn't know when they would get the work done and go home. Better be prepared because in this line of work, they never knew what to expect.

"According to the Lunatic's journals, we're looking for Marco Polo's expedition which is... right here. In Borneo." Flynn said, with a map on his hands. "Really, we all know this is stupid. He is stupid. God, I'm getting so tired of this shit."

"He is only got started, darling. It'll get a lot worse, believe me." She smiled up at him, poking his side.

"You're not helping, y'know." Flynn folded the map and put in his pocket. "We must go to the South. This is going to be a long day of work, are you ready?"

"Psst, I think you're confunsing me with someone else." She got the map from his pocket and started walking to the South. "And, I'm leading the way."

"You know you're awful on lead, don't you?" He tried to get the map from her hands, but failing anyways. "Last time you lead us, we end up almost getting killed by mercenaries."

"You won't let it go, will you?" Chloe stopped for one second facing him."Anyways, let's keep moving. I want to end this today so I won't have to stay more than two days walking on a bloody forest looking for a myth."

"You don't know that, love."

"Nah, but I have a feeling." She lowed the map down and started to walking faster, almost running. "Ok, enough conversation, let's go."

They were walking for, in the least, half hour and Flynn was starting to get mad. They're walking since forever and they weren't getting anywhere, instead, there was just more trees, more wild animals and mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are the worst in Flynn's opinion.

"You sure we're in the right direction?" He was starting to get tired. It was hot and he wasn't a fan of nature.

"Yes, Harry. Can you trust me at least once in a lifetime?" Her eyes were still on the map, she didn't feel like looking at him right now, she was stil mad because of the museum thing and she was tired of being stuck with him. She just wanted to go back to the camp and stay in her tent for the rest of the day.

"It's not that I don't trust you I just-" Flynn stopped talking as he saw Chloe sit to a nearby tree and he did the same. "I trust you but not with a map."

And this gains a chuckle from her because after three months failing in trying to find a damn expedition that is supposed to be a myth, this is relaxing. They rarely had moments like these and, to be honest, it was nice. "Look, Harry, I'm not being totally honest with you."

"Really? What are doing this time now?" His tone was pure sarcasm. Everytime she swears she's telling the truth, he knows she isn't so the fact she is, indeed, being honest was a fun thing.

"Nothing. I'm doing nothing besides walking around a bloody forest when I have a contact with informations about Marco's expedition."

"Really? And why are you telling me now?"

Because I don't really have a contact, I just want to buy some time so I can take Nate out of jail, Chloe thought. "Because I believed we could do this, alone." It's what she said.

"Oh. So, where's he and when are you going to meet him?"

"Syria" Close enough to Turkey, where Nate was. ", and I'm going to meet him whenever our lovely boss says it's alright to me to go."

"Did you talk to him?" Flynn asked.

"No and this is why I didn't talk to him yet. You will talk to him."

"Right. Guess he'll be happy about going somewhere, specially after three months with no clue about this bloody expedition."

"I guess..."

"Well, it's a lovely afternoon isn't it? We can come back to the camp and spend the rest of our day dealing with Lazarevic and working or we can stay here, relaxing and doing nothing. What do you think?"

She smirked at him. "I think it's perfect."

A/N: Whaaaat? A new chapter? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have a new chapter! This one was hard, like, really hard to write so it's not my best job. I'm so sorry! Next time I'll do a better job this time... my brain just didn't work right. Next chapter Sully's finally here! Yay! Anyways, see ya next week!
