: Chapter 6

: Anthony and Lauren escaped from the gangsters, driving to the edge of London. Anthony pulled off to the side of the road and turned to Lauren, who said,
: "And you thought I was dangerous."
: He grinned at her as another car approached. They ducked as he said,
: "Maybe you should stay away from me."
: "I'm too involved now," she said softly, "And I wouldn't stay away even if you forced me to."
: "But what about finding out...?"
: She brushed his words off and said, "We'll have time for that. Trust me," giving him her lopsided grin.
: "Where have I heard that before?" as they sneaked back into town towards Anthony's flat.

: Shorty looked around and saw one of the gangsters coughing up blood. He went up to him, pulled him to his gaze and said,
: "All right, why were shooting at the girl?"
: "Our target was the man. He betrayed our honor."
: "Who is he?"
: The man gasped for some air as he uttered the words, "He goes by the name of Brody."
: Brody? Shorty heard that name before as the man died in his hands.
: Shorty walked away from the man towards his hotel. Boy, is Indy going to be surprised!

: The Joneses arrived at Shorty's hotel, not finding him in as Eric asked,
: "Ok, Dad, give. Why did Laurie come here?"
: "Long story," he muttered as he thought of places where Shorty might have gone.
: "Then tell us the long story!" Michael exclaimed, "We're 21 years old, Dad."
: Indy looked at his sons, republicas of Kate, sighed, and said,
: "All right, I'll tell you," pointing to the bar entrance of the hotel, "Let's go in there."
: They went into the bar and sat at a table near the entrance. Settled at the table with a glass of local ale, Indy held his breath, looked at his sons, and said, "It started years ago, when I was 25. I was teaching in London, my first teaching post after getting my degree in France."
: He took a sip of his drink and said, "I had a bright student in the class, the daughter of the department chair. She had this impact in my life, just like your mother did."
: "So what happened?" Michael asked.
: "Deirdre and I went on a few digs together. We loved each other and after a while, we got married on a cruise ship, heading to Brazil."
: "You were married?" Eric said astonished.
: "Did Mom know?" Michael asked.
: "Your mother did know. I told her when I she found a picture of Deirdre in bedroom while we were dating."
: "What happened to Deirdre?" Eric asked, "Is she living in London?"
: Indy shook his head and said, "She was killed in the Amazon after being married a month. Plane crash."
: "Why didn't you tell us?" Michael asked.
: "I thought it would be best not for you to know," smiling weakly, "Your mother disagreed with me, but I thought you didn't want to know about the past."
: "Dad," Eric asked, "How did Lauren know?"
: "She found a box I had hidden in the attic with a few of Deirdre's letters and her picture."
: "A box?" Michael remembered, "The box Mom gave you?"
: Indy nodded as Eric asked,
: "But where's Lauren?"
: "I think," another voice said, "I can answer your question."
