Chapter 49
Tessa came back from the bathroom, the ring glowing on her finger. She looked at it curiously and wondered, Why does it keep doing that?, as the elderly Indiana Jones noticed it and asked,
“Where did you get that?”
“When I was heading for Poland. I saw it floating in the ocean,” looking at the ring, “It kinda reminds me of my wedding ring.”
“You’re married? But you’re so young…”
“Separated at the moment,” as she sat down the seat across from him, “And I’m not young. I’ll be 23 in November.”
Indiana smiled a bit and said, “Now about that ring?”
Tessa took it off her finger and handed it to him. “Do you know what it means?”
He nodded and said, “I believe so. But first…” as he got up, “I need to see if my daughter can meet us in Nepal and help out with research.”
“Daughter?” Tessa looked astonished.
“Yes, my daughter. You’ve talked about her in your novels.”
“Well I’ll be damned,” surprised, “I just made up the family.”
“It’s all true. I was married and have three kids. My daughter is the archeologist now. Has been since she got her taste of it when she was 16.”
Tessa smiled as he went to the Phoenix Group to ask for a phone. Handed one, he dialed a number and heard,
“Archeology department, Dr. Stephens office.”
“I need to talk to Dr. Stephens.”
“She’s in a meeting, sir.”
“Tell her that her father is on the phone and need to talk to her.”
“I’ll tell her, sir. Is there a number?”
“Just get her on the phone!” he barked shocking members on the Group.
He heard muffled voices and another voice came on the line,
“Hello?”
“Micki?” surprised.
“Grandpa? What’s wrong?”
“Micki, I need to speak to your mother. It’s urgent.”
“Mum’s in a meeting with the department. Can I pass her a message?”
“Yeah,” looking at the members of the group, “Tell her to get the first plane out of Paris to Nepal. I’ll meet her there.”
“What’s this about?”
“Never mind. Just tell her.”
“Okay. Bye, Grandpa.”
“Bye, Micki. See you soon,” hanging up the phone.
“What,” Indy asked, “was that about?”
“You’re about to meet another person who knows all about Valinor,” Indiana smiled, “My daughter.”
“Your daughter?” Meg and Indy said in surprise.
“Yes, my daughter. She doesn’t use her real name. Her synonym is Alexandra Stephens.”
“I’ve read about her,” Micah said, “She’s one of the forthmost archeologists in Europe and the States.”
“What’s her real name?” Meg asked intrigued.
“You should all know from Tessa’s novels,” he said with a grin, “Her real name is Lauren Jones.”
