Chapter Nine:

Kate looked at the phone and said again,
"Hello?"
The phone went dead in her hands. Kate hung up the phone as she heard a knock on the door. She went to it, answered it, and saw a man wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, even though the sun was not out.
"Can I help you?" Kate said to him.
"Is Indiana Jones here?"
"You just missed him."
"And are you his wife?"
Kate smiled and said,
"Dr. Jones and I are engaged to be married."
"And you are?"
"Dr. Katherine Tyler."
The man stared at her and said,
"From the University of Chicago?"
Kate nodded and asked,
"Is he in trouble?"
"May I come in?"
"Sure," moving away from the door to let the man in. He took off his sunglasses as Kate closed the door and turned around. Kate gasped in surprise and said,
"Eliot? Eliot Ness, is that you?"
Eliot smiled at her and said,
"I'm surprised you remembered after all these years."
"What are you doing in New York?"
"It's rather complicated."
Kate noticed the clock on the wall and said,
"I can't stay and chat, Eliot. But feel free to stay I should be back around four."
"I'd like that," smiling at her, "Just answer one question, where's Indy?"
"He left for Delhi a few minutes ago," going out the door, "I'll see you later, Eliot. I have to go teach my class. Bye."
Eliot had a sinking feeling in his stomach that Indy was in trouble already.


Indy and Kali were in the air heading to Delhi. Indy was looking over information he found on the Heart of Shiva. Kali looked at him and said,
"You really get into your work, don't you?"
"Most of the time."
"The rest of the time?"
Indy smiled to himself as Kali said,
"Does it have to do with the blonde I saw watching you leave?"
"Kate, you mean."
"Yes, what is your relationship with her?"
"We're engaged."
Kali whistled softly and said,
"The world famous archeologist has finally settled down? Pity for the ladies."
Indy laughed as Kali said,
"She must be pretty special."
"She is," concentrating on the notes he brought.
"Is she an archeologist?"
"Music historian," looking at him, "What's this interest in my personal life?"
"No reason," looking at him, "I'm sure Mr. Brody would be happy for you, if he was still here."
Indy stared at him mournfully and asked,
"So you know?"
Kali nodded and said,
"It must have been hard for you."
"It was, especially to see him killed in front of my eyes."
Kali nodded and said,
"It's hard, my friend, but we are on the find of the century. Let's prove that The Heart of Shiva exists!"
Indy smiled and nodded. He leaned back in his seat, put his fedora over his face, and fell asleep.
Several aisles away, Dawn Rampage was staring at Indy and Kali over her newspaper. She smiled to herself and said,
"We'll see who gets there first
