I know someone else was supposed to write it but I just got this idea. If you don't like it, just disregard it. Tessa

Chapter 52

The Phoenix Group and Indiana Jones arrived in Nepal, worn and tired from their trip. Indiana Jones was looking around as they noticed a young woman, wearing blue jeans and a white t-shirt, waving her arms in the air. Aragorn, Goodsport, Jerico, Short Round, and Indy looked in awe at this beautiful young woman – her light brown hair that was held back by a ponytail, a beautiful sculpted body, luscious lips, and a pair of incredible hazel eyes – as Indiana Jones smiled.
The young woman walked towards them, passing the group and flinging her arms around Indiana’s neck in a hug, smiling bright, and said,
“Hi, Grandpa.”
“Micki, you’ve grown,” in a surprised tone.
“You haven’t seen me for ten years. I’m bound to grow somewhat,” she quipped as Indiana laughed, put an arm around her shoulders and said,
“Group, I’d like you to meet my granddaughter, Michaela Jones.”
“I’ll be damned,” Indy said softly as Michaelson asked, “I thought we were meeting Alexandra Stephens.”
“That’s my mum,” Micki said, “She’s arranging for luggage to be transported to the hotel. Be along in a moment.”
An older version of Micki came at that moment, wearing a black fedora on her head, her blue eyes intense, as Indiana said, “Speak of the devil,” smiling.
“Hi, Dad,” she gave a him a hug, “What’s going on?”
“Always the impetuous one, Lauren,” as he said, “The renowned archeologist Alexandra Stephens, better yet my daughter Lauren Jones. Lauren, meet the Phoenix Group.”
She nodded and then asked, “What about Valinor?”
“Direct and to the point,” Micah said, “I like that.”
“Valinor is not a subject to be taken lightly,” Lauren said roughly, “His message, from what I understand, is very powerful. And if it falls into the wrong hands…”
Indiana patted his daughter’s shoulder and said, “We’ll find it,” then looked at the Phoenix Group, “Right?”
“Right,” they said in unison as they made plans to find out more about Valinor, before the DWO would.

Nobody sat across Deirdre in the airport lounge, where they had missed the Phoenix Group, Tessa, and Indiana Jones got second. He inhaled a bit from his cigar, blew out a ring of smoke, and smiled wickedly at her. He crossed his arms at her and said,
“You have failed me, my lovely.”
“I didn’t---” she started as Nobody held out a hand and said, “You are in my services, Deirdre. You’ll do what I say and want you to do. Capriccio?”
Deirdre swallowed hard and Nobody continued, “Remember you owe me from saving your brother from that gang in the Philippines? You said you wanted to pay me back, no matter what the price was.”
“That was over five years ago, Boss,” she said, “And I’ve done more than my fair share…”
He interrupted her again and said, “We’ve been informed that they are heading to Nepal to meet Alexandra Stephens. Do you know who she is?”
“The Valinor expert,” Deirdre replied, “A professor of archeology at the Sorbonne in Paris.”
“She must be taken care of. Permanently.”
“She poses no threat to us, sir. It would be killing a bystander.”
“Nevertheless,” as he inhaled the cigar and blew out the smoke, “She is to be eliminated, before she shows Valinor’s power to the Phoenix Group.”
Deirdre nodded as Nobody threw a ticket at her, “Here’s your ticket to Nepal. A colleague will meet you at the airport.”
“How will I---“ as Nobody waved a hand and said,
“He knows who you are, Miss Campbell,” a smile lingering his lips, “Trust me.”
Deirdre nodded, grabbed the ticket, and headed for the flight to Nepal.
