Sorry I haven't posted up my chapters the past few days. But finally my lazy ass was up to it. Enjoy


Chapter IX
ìLet me give you a hand!î Shorty sad as he extended his hand towards Brett and James. James reached his hand up when they shook as the grill slightly unlatched. Shorty slipped but grabbed onto the bumper.
ìNice idea Shorty!î James exclaimed.
ìGuys,î Indy yelled from the jeep, ìGrab a hold of my whip!î
He unlatched the whip he had took from Cairo at the stand. From the driverís seat and holding on, he put his whip down to the Lambertís and Shorty. Shorty went for a grab but couldnít reach it.
ìJames,î Shorty said, ìYouíre gonna have to grab it first, then Brett! He can reach out and help me get to the whip!î
ìOk.î James replied.
He reached out to the whip, grabbed it and climbed up.
ìI canít hold on any longer!î Shorty exclaimed. ìGo, go!î
Shortyís hand started to get slippery with sweat, and were slipping! Shorty tried a few times to reach his other hand to the bumper and succeeded after a few tries! He got a firm grasp. His hands started to get sore.
Why couldnít it have been a more smoother surface! he thought.
Brett climbed up more to the handle of the rifle and grasped the magazine of the gun. When he was able to, he kept swinging so he can make it to the whip! He leaped from the rifle and got to the whip! The grill came down from him swinging on the rifle! It fell on Shortyís right hand before plummeting into the abyss which lie below!
ìOuch!î Shorty exclaimed as his right hand lost grip!
James had climbed up to the jeep already and Indy lost his grip when Brett started to climb up the rope! He grabbed it before it fell below and started sliding off the hood! Brett started to feel it go down and then jerk to a stop as Indy grabbed it. Brett started to feel it go down slower again! James lurched out to catch Indy, his foot on the steering wheel. He was able to grab Indyís foot just before he disappeared from view of the jeep!
ìWhoa!î Indy exclaimed.
Brett felt the jerk of the whip again. Shorty had his hand on the bumper still! He went hand by hand to the end of the bumper and reached his leg to it and put it around the bumperís end! James started to slip when Meg ran and grabbed his foot! She was safe in the jeep.
ìCan we stop playing monkeys in a barrel!î Indy exclaimed. ìHaul us up!î
ìI canít hold on!î Brett continued.
ìYeah, me neither!î Shorty added.
Meg started to haul James up. James hauled Indy up who started to bring in Brett.
ìWait a minute!î Brett yelled as he was almost over the bumper. ìWhat about Shorty?î
ìWeíll bring you back down and you get him.î Meg said.
ìWhat do you mean weíll do it?î Indy said. ìWe got to get out of this jeep or weíll become a permanent resident down there!î Indy indicated the forest thousands of yards below.
Meg shot him a dirty look.
ìNeither does Shorty!î Meg yelled.
ìItís a risk weíre gonna have to take, his life depends on it!î James spoke up.
James and Meg used the whip and put Brett lower to Shorty.
ìGive me your hand!î Brett said.
Shorty reached out for Brettís hand.
ìI can reach you,î Shorty said, ìI can almost reach you Brett!î
Shorty finally grabbed Brettís wrist and Brett grabbed Shortyís wrist.
ìOk, let go of this jeep.î Brett said.
Shorty took his other hand and grabbed Brettís wrist with that one too. He took his leg from the bumper and swung in mid air with Brett!
ìAlright,î Brett said, ìHaul us up!î
ìGo!î Shorty said. ìGo, go! I donít think we can hold on much longer!î
ìRight!î Brett added. ìMy fingers are growing blisters as it is!ñì
The jeep suddenly lurched down a foot or two as one of the vines holding it slipped! James let go of the whip and fell to the floor of the jeep while Meg lost grip of the whip and it slid out of her hands! This time they couldnít catch it as it was rolling off the hood of the jeep! Brett and Shorty, who were holding onto the whip for dear life, started to fall! The whipís loop at the end caught onto the logo of the jeep(I want to note that the logo isnít the wire held logo)! Brett and Shorty felt a jerk as they stopped in mid air! The jeep bounced up an down again!
ìMeg,î Indy exclaimed, ìCome on! We donít have enough time!î
ìBut what aboutñì Meg was interrupted.
ìThey can take care of themselves!î Indy said as he grabbed Megís wrist.
They ran up the back seat and onto the vines. Goodsport and Michaelson were already at the top. James looked back at the hood of the jeep.
ìJames!î Indy yelled. ìCome on!î
James ran to the vines and took one last look back. He continued and started climbing up the vines.

Brettís hands gave and he fell! He grabbed onto Shortyís ankle which pulled him down a few inches!
ìAAAHHHH!î Shorty yelled as his hands burned against the whip! He still held on as Brett grabbed the tip of the whip and started climbing up. Shorty wrapped the whip around his hand and reached the other out to Brett who took Shortyís offer. Brett grabbed Shortyís wrist and Shorty helped him up.
ìCome on, letís get out of here!î Shorty said.
They both climbed till they were near the grill of the jeep again. They put their feet on the bumper for support.
ìShorty,î Brett said, ìYou go up the hood and try to carry the whip with you! Iíll hang on the logo and you toss it down to me and Iíll climb back up!î
ìAlright,î Shorty replied, ìI got it.î
Shorty climbed up to the logo and took the whip off as Brett grabbed it and got on the hood. He put one foot on the top of the logo so he wouldnít slide down.
Climbing up the vines after Indy and Meg, James saw Shorty climbing up the hood from the corner of his eye!
On the hood of the jeep, Shortyís foot slipped from the logo and he started to slide off.
By reaction, James leaped from the vines as he saw Shorty slip and landing in the front seats he grabbed Shortyís wrist!
ìHold on!î James said.
ìThanks!î Shorty replied.
James hauled Shorty up to the front seat.
ìWhereís Brett?î James asked.
ìHeís holding on to the logo,î Shorty replied. ìWe got to throw the whip down to him!î
Shorty unraveled the whip and through the end down to Brett.
ìI canít hold on! My hands are burning!î He yelled.
Shorty took the whip back up and holding the end wrapped around his hand, he threw the handle to Brett.
ìPut your foot in it and hug it with one arm and weíll bring you up!î Shorty yelled.
Brett put his foot through the strap and hugged the whip as ordered.
ìAlright!î Brett said. ìBring me up!î
James got in front of Shorty and started helping pull in Brett. They finally got Brett up.
ìOh thanks you guys!î He exclaimed. ìLetís get out of here!î
ìIíll go with that!î James said.
They ran to the top and climbed the vines up. It started to shake which made the jeep rock. As they got to the top they exhaustedly lie right near Goodsport, Indy, Meg and Michaelson. They started to hear rumbling.
ìHey!î Shorty exclaimed. ìThe troops! Hide!î
They started to hear gunfire which riveted at them! They jumped off the cliff to the jeep!
The troops ran to the cliff and started shooting at the jeep! It started to plummet down to the abyss below! They stopped firing as they seen itís figure get smaller and smaller before it made a small glint of light, exploding! They all left.
ìHover Base,î The commander said into a walkie-talkie, ìWe killed them all. Requesting permission to return back to base.î He waited a few minutes. ìOk.î
He signaled his men to come along as they ran back into the woods.

Hanging on the vines, they waited a few minutes till the troops were out of view. They climbed up to the top of cliff and lie down for a few minutes. They all got up after the rest.
"I can't wait to get back to the base," Shorty said, "I'm tired!"
"Aren't we all?" Michaelson replied.
"Now Indy," Meg said. "Let's get out of here!"
"Right!" Indy replied. "All of us!"
