Chapter 3

"Buinvenidos a Estados Unidos Mexicanos" a voice interrupted her dreams. Startled Lauren looked up into the friendly stewards' smiling face and managed a light laugh.

"What?"she asked, totally puzzled. She ran a hand through her longish mane and suppressed a yawn. She'd slept through most of the flight to Mexico, since the night before they took off, she'd been busy packing and repacking her rucksack, totally panicky of what to bring along.

"Are we gonna go there too, Henry?"

"Don't call-" he sighed and stopped. "Perhaps, but I thought you all would be more interested in the Atztec ruins."

"But Dad," Mike, who hadn't said much during the whole way to Mexico, said," The Aztec Ruins are in New Mexico!
