Chapter 8
Annie was wandering around the streets of Belize City, her knapsack over one shoulder. She went to a hotel a man directed her to at the airport and rang the bell.
“Yes?”
“I need a room for a duration.”
“Are you alone?”
Annie nodded, “I’m meeting someone here,” as she pulled a picture of her mother out, “Have you seen her?” showing the picture.
The man looked and said, “She looks very familiar. A relative?”
“She’s…” searching for the right words, “A family friend. An archaeologist.”
“Most of the archeologists are in the village three hours from here,” the man said, “I can find a guide for you.”
Annie nodded, “Please do,” as she handed him some money. I’m almost there, Mom. Just within my reach, she thought as she went to the restaurant for something to eat.

Ben, friend of Indy, was looking over the Internet on his laptop in the restaurant in the hotel. He saw Tessa’s message to him, asking about Annie’s whereabouts. He typed furiously back and then heard,
“Is this seat taken?”
He glanced up and saw a young girl—no a woman—smiling at him. Then she frowned and said,
“You do speak English, right?”
“Yes, ” as he gestured to the seat, “Sit. I’m leaving in a bit.”
“Great,” as she set her sack down, “Hey,” looking at the laptop, “Do you think I can look on the Internet? Someone’s supposed to be helping me find someone.”
“Who?”
“A family friend,” her eyes were haunting, “Please. I can buy you some lunch, for exchange.”
“Sure,” as he passed it to her. Her eyes widened in surprise, “How did you know I was going to this site?”
“What site?” as he looked at the laptop, “Oh the Indyfan site? I’m there regularly. My call name is Ben, friend of Indy.”
The girl gasped and said, “You’re him?”
Ben looked at her intently and noticed the fedora on her head, “I should have guessed. A fellow Indyfan.”
The girl smiled and said, “Actually you’ve helped me in more ways than one. My name is Annie. Annie Jones.”
