: James hit the fuel meter on the dashboard because it always worked for Indiana Jones.
: ÏCome on!Ó James said. ÏFuel, fuel, fuel!Ó
: They started plummeting to the ground! James wrestled with the throttle. They veered off to the storage house! Darkness.

: Indy ran down the corridor of the Phoenix Group and into MichaelsonÌs room.
: ÏMichaelson!Ó Indy said as he stopped in the doorway.
: ÏWhat is it, Indy?Ó Michaelson asked.
: ÏJames and Shorty.Ó Indy said. ÏThey been missing for a day!Ó
: ÏWell I havenÌt seen them.Ó Michaelson replied.
: ÏAndrew and one of our planes are missing also.Ó Indy said. ÏDo you think they could have took them?Ó
: ÏMaybe.Ó Michaelson replied. ÏThis is as serious as I thought.Ó
: ÏMichaelson,Ó Indy said. ÏWe got to let out a search team to find them! They could be in trouble!Ó
: ÏCalm down,Ó Michaelson assured. ÏThey will be fine. Their not little kids anymore. And neither are you so stop acting like one.Ó
: ÏBut General!ÒÏ Indy whined.
: ÏIÌm your General,Ó Michaelson declared. ÏSo follow my orders and stop acting like an adolescent!Ó
: Indy angrily walked to his room. Meg stood by the doorway waiting for him.
: "What's wrong?" She asked as Indy stopped by her.
: "Nothing." He replied.
: "Well there is something I know I want to do, mr." She said as she pulled him into the room. The door slammed.

: Michaelson paced the computer room of the base the next day. One of the computer operators ran to him.
: ÏWhat is it?Ó Michaelson asked.
: ÏAndrew has been tracked down!Ó The operator said.
: ÏWhere?Ó Michaelson asked. ÏShow me!Ó
: The operator shown him to the large computer map on the wall. Michaelson looked at the red line that shows where Andrew went.
: ÏIÌll be right back.Ó Michaelson assured.
: Michaelson ran to IndyÌs room.
: - - -
: ÏWake up!Ó A voice yelled as James and Short Round got smacked hard across the face. ÏYou two finally awoke! You been asleep for nearly nine hours now!Ó
: They noticed they were in a small shed.
: ÏWho are you?Ó James warily asked.
: ÏMy name is Mary.Ó She said. ÏAnd you?Ó
: ÏMy name is Lambert, James Lambert and this is my buddy Short Round.Ó
: MaryÌs blood boiled with carnage. Anger swelled in her. She suddenly punched James in the face and followed through with the punch hitting Shorty. They both shook their heads recovering from the blow.
: ÏWhat was the meaning of that?Ó James exclaimed.
: ÏYou two! And Aragorn cost me everything I had!Ó She angrily said.
: ÏWhatÌs that supposed to mean?Ó Shorty asked.
: ÏI was NobodyÌs niece. I worked for him and got protection, power, wealth. He gave me everything! And you took it away!Ó
: ÏYouÌre mistaken lady!Ó Shorty exclaimed. ÏWe donÌt know who youÌre talking about!Ó
: ÏBut ShorÒÏ James was about to say before Shorty nudged him.
: ÏDonÌt give me that!Ó She said. ÏI know exactly who you are!Ó
: ÏMaybe.Ó James remarked. ÏBut what are you going to do to us? ItÌs not gonna patch your wounds! We did what we did because we had to!Ó
: ÏHe didnÌt mean to hurt you!Ó She exclaimed.
: ÏHe meant to hurt way more than us, chik!Ó Shorty replied.
: Mary couldnÌt take it no more. She kicked Shorty in the stomach and punched James across the jaw. She grabbed James and threw him into the wall, knocking him out instantly. Grabbing Shorty she kneed him in the stomach then in the face and knocking him out too. She departed the shed. Then she locked it.

: Indy followed Michaelson into the control room.
: ÏIndy!Ó Michaelson said. ÏSee that red line? That was AndrewÌs course and do you know where that begins from?Ó
: ÏWhere the war took place!Ó Indy said.
: ÏExactly!Ó Michaelson replied. ÏFor some reason they put Andrew in there. And thenÒÏ
: A red dot appeared on the screen. It was straight across from where the second and smaller line was(Which is where the mountain is).
: ÏIndy!Ó Michaelson said. ÏPrepare one of our planes! We got to bring James and Shorty back!Ó
: - - -
: Mary stood there dumbfounded as she fingered Andrew
: ÏWhat is this?Ó She said to herself.
: She moved it around and seen the Phoenix Group insignia on it. Getting angry, she threw Andrew against the wall. She sat down and started to cry.

: Indy, Michaelson, Brett, and Goodsport ran to the small plane. They all hopped in.
: ÏOk, got the map ready?Ó Michaelson asked.
: ÏCheck, General!Ó Brett replied as he held up a hand-held mini computer with the map and the beacon trails.
: - - -
: James woke up on the floor of the shed. He rubbed his forehead as it throbbed with pain. He attempted to get up and he stumbled on his knees as he got a dizzy spell. He sat there for a few moments.
: ÏShorty?Ó He spoke out. No answer.
: He crawled to Shorty and shook him which Shorty started to groan.
: - - -
: The plane remained above the clouds as it flew through the air, Michaelson at the throttle and Brett was in the passenger seat. Goodsport was asleep in the back seat along with Indy. Meg was reading a book and Brett was looking at the computer map. Brett noticed the first beacon trail had ended and looked outside the window to see why James and Shorty would have turned it off there. He then seen a massive mountain! His curiosity was about to make him want to land, yet James and Shorty could be in grave danger. They were important than any mountains! Just then Brett noticed that the mountain had opening like a giant door and there was a huge hole the size of a football field just in front of it! About to open his mouth and tell Michaelson to stop he decided not to. Maybe on the way back÷

: Shorty was up and rubbing his head. JamesÌ headache was not as massive than a half an hour ago. After a few minutes they both got up. Shorty walked to the door of the shed and pulled on the door which didnÌt open. He did it again and it still didnÌt open. He tugged on it really hard.
: ÏLocked!Ó He exclaimed.
: He kicked it in anger.
: ÏI got an idea!Ó James spoke up. ÏI can pick the lock. Just like in New Zealand when Indy locked us in that cell. Those were the days!Ó
: ÏRight÷Ó Shorty said as he remember that time Brett broke his nose with the Lord of the Rings book.
: ÏNow where÷Ó James pondered as he looked for something to pick the lock with.
: He then reached in his pocket and pulled out his pocket knife! Taking out the screwdriver he used that to pick the lock since it was the closest to a needle. After a few minutes he successfully unlocked it. He opened up the door and putting his pocketknife away he gestured Shorty to follow.
: IÌm getting better and better at this all the time! He thought as they ran out of the shed.
: They sneaked passed the guards. They heard a guard coming towards them and they ducked behind a small hut. They heard a conversation from within.
: "I must kill them, Cal!" Mary's voice said from the hut.
: "Alright, alright." Cal pleaded. "If you must you may."
: They seen Mary walk out of the hut.
: "Oh perfect!" Shorty exclaimed. "Just wait until she finds out we're not there!" She'll start combing the place for us!"
: "Well let's not whine about it and make a move!"
: Mary noticed the shed door was opened. She ran to it and noticed that they weren't there!
: "Bastards!" She exclaimed.
: The sound of motors came from behind. As she looked, she seen James and Short Round getting away into the woods on a jeep!
: James and Shorty high fived.
: "SCORE!" They both said in unison.
: James looked in the side view mirror.
: "And a foul!" He exclaimed as he gained speed and Mary not too far behind in another jeep! They made a turn through the thicker part of the woods. Mary gained on them and were now right beside them. She pulled out a DD44 Distovei and aimed it right at them! James quickly put on the breaks as Mary fired, making her miss. James then veered back onto the regular trail.
: "Shorty!" James yelled. "There should be a rifle back there! Use it!"
: Shorty pulled out the rifle. As he shot he missed by a lot of points.
: "Take it easy!" He exclaimed to James. "I'm aiming here!"
: Mary then pulled back to the trail. She rammed into them as hard as she could! They veered off the track and Mary followed as she slid off the track also! They noticed the worst thing that could happen as they neared the end of a steep hill! Both jeeps rolled and rolled down the steep hill for a minute at least! They finally hit bottom, seperated.
: James and Shorty lie in the wrecked jeep. The jeep was over on it's roof! Shorty easily slid out of his seat onto the ground yet not out of the deadly insides of the jeep. James was still in his seat, stuck.
: "Shorty..." He groaned. "Go! Leave me! The jeep will explode any second! Do you hear the gas leaking?"
: "No!" Shorty replied. "You're coming with me!"
: Shorty helped James out of the seat. He rolled out of the side of the truck and dragged James out. He helped James up and they both ran as fast as they could when the jeep blew up in flames! They flew forward!

: "There it is!" Brett indicated Cal Ord's station.
: "This was a good lead after all!" Goodsport exclaimed.

: Sauron stood before Spaltic.
: "I found them, Spaltic." He said.
: "Where?" Spaltic replied.
: "At Cal Ord's smuggling headquarters. Shall we?" Sauron said.
: "Of course!" Spaltic said with joy.
: - - -
: "Uh oh! Big trouble!" Goodsport said as Cal Ord's guards started to shoot up at them!
: "Uh oh!" Michaelson exclaimed. "They got the fuel line! Prepare for impact!"
: The plane started to lose control!
: - - -
: James and Shorty were on the ground exausted.
: "Man! We got to get out of here soon!" Shorty declared.
: "Dead, yes, alive no!" Mary said.
: They turned around to see the barrel of the gun pointed in their directoin!
