Chapter 42 (written by Indiana James Lambert)

Brett, James and Aragorn stepped up to the deserted building. Over the door, a sign read 'LambertFilm Ltd. - a Journey in Filmaking'.

"It sure is a journey to come here. I wonder why old gramps would make a studio in Switzerland? I mean he was born in Paris!" James said as he brushed some snow off his Wested jacket.

"Let's just see the place first!" Brett said as he opened a manilla envelope containing a large set of keys for various rooms and doors.

"Whoa! That looks like a dungeon master's keys! How many keys can a building require. Don't you agree, Aragorn?" James said, turning to Aragorn.

Aragorn showed a faint smile. It was his first sign of emotion that James had seen since greeting him at the airport in Poland.

"Yes, alot of keys, butterball!"

"Will you stop calling me that!" James laughed.

Brett finally found the proper key and opened the great doors. A large library of scripts and film reels.

"Wow! This is great!" Brett said as he thumbed through the many scripts and film reels.

The roof had a large stained-glass dome. The floor was hardwood. It had a feel of elegancy to it all.

James began to close the door behind him but something caught his eye, but only for a second. He could have sworn he saw a figure in black. But he dismissed the thought. Probably my imagination James thought to himself as he closed and bolted the door.

Aragorn walked up to the main desk. A plaque was engraved on the desk. It read: 'Jill Masterson, head secretary'.
Now where have I heard that name? Must have been from some sort of movie Aragorn thought.

James opened a door on the other side of the room. He was surprised to see a room filled with movie props and costumes. There were knight costumes, robes, WW2 American Army uniforms, a giant rubber octopus, several paper-plate like flying saucers, a coffin, a row of guns from the 1930's era and alot more.

"Guys, you have to see this!" James yelled excitedly.

Brett ran in, followed by Aragorn.

"Wow! This is pure gold! You could make a thousand films with this stuff!" Brett said.

Aragorn picked up a sword that was lying on the ground. It was real metal, a noble sword.

"Hey look at me! I'm a 30's gangster!" James said holding up a Tommy gun and with a cigar in his mouth.

James couldn't help but pull the trigger. A bullet came out of the gun and hit the roof.

"Geez will you be careful with that thing!" Brett yelled.

"How should I know there would be bullets in the gun! It's a movie prop, for Pete's sake! I didn't know it would be loaded!" James retaliated.

"Guys, please. It was an accident and that's all that matters. Come let's take a look at the rest of the place." Aragorn said to Brett and James.

They looked around the studio for another hour. They saw the studio's own viewing room, the executive's meeting room, a few soundstages, the editing room, the art department, and the pre-production room. And of course, their grandfathers own personal bathroom, complete with a shower.

"Whew! Guys I'm wiped! I'm going to take a shower if you don't mind," Aragorn said.

"Go ahead! We'll be right here in the lounge room," Brett said as he sat on a leather couch.

"Thanks guys," Aragorn said as he put down his jacket on a chair.

=============

What are they doing in there? Jerico thought as he watched the studio from a distance.
I'm not sure how I'm going to handle this...

Then Jerico pulled out his cell phone. "This is an awful risk," he said to himself.

He dialed Aragorn's number. It started ringing.

==========

*RING* *RING*

Brett and James looked at each other.

"Aragorn brought along a cell phone?" Brett asked.

"I guess. Here let me take it, I saw this on Seinfeld once!" James said as he pulled Aragorn's cell phone out of his jacket pocket.

"Hello, you have reached Moviephone! If you want to hear the listings of the movies playing today, press one on your touch-tone keypad!" James said in a Kramer voice.

"What!?" A voice said on the other line.

Brett tried to control his laughter, but it was too hard.

Oh all right! Jerico thought. He pressed the number one on his cell phone. He checked to see if it was the wrong number on his dial screen, but it was Aragorn's correct number.

"On your touch-tone keypad, please enter the first three letters of the movie you wish to see," James continued.

"I don't see where this is going," Jerico muttered. He punched in three random numbers.

"You have selected Agent Zero! If that is the movie you wish to see, please press one!" When James heard no beep he continued on. "Uhhh... You have selected Brown Eyed-Girl! If that is the movie which you want to see, please press two!" When he heard no further answer, only heavy breathing he said, "Well, why don't you tell me which movie you wish to see!?"

"What the hell is this?" Jerico groaned as he turned off his cell phone.

Meanwhile, Brett and James were laughing uncontrollably.

"Hahaha! You are the man, James!" Brett proclaimed.

"Thanks, I try. Don't tell Aragorn about this, he'll have my head!"

"No problem!" Brett said as James slipped Aragorn' phone back in his jacket pocket.
