Chapter 14

Indy, Patar, and Marion looked in the cave with awe. Patar found a candle and matches in his satchel and let the candle. Indy took one look around and whistled.
“I think this it. Right, Marion?”
Marion smiled and said,
“It looks like it.”
“We camp right now, Indy?” Patar asked.
Indy nodded as they set up camp for the night.

**********************************************

Eliot and Kate arrived in Goa and went to the hotel Eliot booked for them. Kate took one look at the room and said,
“Eliot, you’re not staying in this room, too, right?”
“I wouldn’t do that to you,” smiling, “We have adjoining rooms, I’ll be next door.”
Suddenly Kate remembered and asked,
“Why aren’t we in Delhi?”
“Goa is closer to Kathmandu, where the mountain is.”
“The mountain?”
“Where its’ rumored that The Heart of Shiva is at.”
Kate nodded as Eliot said,
“I’m going to see if anyone heard about Indy or Kali or the special agent. Do you want to come?”
“I’ll stay here.”
“Of course,” going to the door, “I’ll see you later.”

***********************************************
Marion looked at Indy as he sat by the makeshift fire. Kali was in the tent Indy and Kali had and Marion in the other. She sat closer to him and said,
“What’s with you, Jones? You usually jump on women when you get the chance.”
“It’s different this time.”
“How is it different?”
“I’m involved.”
“Does it matter?”
“There was a blonde woman in the bar following you and Patar, was it her?”
Indy’s head jerked up and said,
“What did she look like?”
“Blonde, slim, and attractive, just your type.”
Indy rummaged in his satchel, found a picture, and gave it to Marion and asked,
“Is this the woman?”
“No, she was different,” giving the picture back to him, “Who?”
“Who what?”
“Who’s the woman in the picture?”
“My fiancée.”
“You’re what?!”, looking at him.
“Pipe down unless you want another avalanche.”
Marion looked at him and said,
“So, what’s her name?”
“Does the name Katherine Tyler ring any bells?”
“Tyler? Did she go to the University?”
Indy nodded and said,
“Came back into my life last year. We’re living together.”
“Was she the one you wanted to go with you to France?”
“The same one.”
Marion looked at him and said,
“You really loved her?”
“I wanted to marry her, but she thought we were getting serious and dumped me, right after graduation.”

*************************************************

Kate lay on the bed in her bedroom remembering back to the day of graduation from the University of Chicago. It still brought tears to her eyes of what she did.

CHICAGO, 1923
Indy and Kate were wearing their cap and gowns. He grabbed Kate into a hug and kissed her by the Reflecting Pool. Kate blushed and said,
“Indy, not in front of everyone.”
“Come on, Kate, everyone knows we love each other. We’ve been dating for two years.”
Kate looked at him as he said,
“In two weeks, we’ll be in Sorbonne, go to class during the week and have fun on the weekends.”
“Indy…”
“We’ll see the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre…”
“Indy, please listen to me.”
“Is something wrong?”
“Indy, I don’t know how to say this,” looking at him, “I’ve been accepted to Julliard. I’m going there.”
“What about our plans?”
“We’re getting too serious, Indy. I think its’ time to move on,” walking away from him.
“Kate, you can’t be serious…”
“I am,” turning around, “Have a good life, Indiana Jones. I’ll see you at the reunion,” running away from him.
Indy stood there shocked as Kate left him. A block from campus, Kate stopped, put a hand over her stomach, and said,
“I could not ruin his dream of being an archeologist. He’d hate me and the baby.”

*****************************************

Kate started crying a bit and remembered how she felt afterwards. She looked in the mirror and said,
“I promise I’ll tell you everything, Indy. The first chance I get.”
