Prologue
The year was 1925. Japanese bombs were causing much destruction to Shanghai. Rock refugee shacks were turning from rocks piled between alleyways and other things to small blood-covered pebbles scattered about. People, some barefooted and some shoe-covered, were running across the hard streets now covered with gravel. Fire came around everywhere. Crying could be heard from all throughout the city. One 4-year-old boy, dressed only in a white T-shirt and soft gray pants, stared at the bloody sight of his parents shattered in the street, shut his eyes, and ran away.

Chapter One
1931, Indiana Jones was searching for a clue to the location of the Tomb of King Tut. He was just outside of Cairo. He would hopefully find the clue, then fly to Shanghai to pick up his friend Wu Han. He had sent off most of the diggers, for he had found a certain place, a square-looking mound, covered in the yellow sand in the desert. He about fifteen diggers left, and a few tool-handers. A sign approximately fifteen to twenty miles away from the small site warned pedestrians and diggers and tool-handers not of the dig site not to cross the sign. Indy had taken off his fedora and jacket and rolled up his sleeves because of the heat. One of the fifteen diggers was Indy's friend, Sallah, who led the team. The diggers finally hit some stone. The sun was setting, so Indy took caution around the "mound." Indy brushed the diggers away and put his hands on the top. It was rough. Indy moved to the side and slowly slid his hands on the top edge, down. His red fingers fell slightly, and he pushed his fingernails through the bottom. Then he pushed with his whole hands. It fell off with a rocky sound. Some sand fell into the mainly black opening. Sallah watched overhead in awe. Indy shouted in Egyptian >"Bring me some rope!"<. Indy grinned and laughed a moment. They were onto something.

Chapter Two to Chapter 4 soon...
