Chapter 11

Lauren stood on the balcony overlooking the street outside thier hotel room. With her eyes narrowed, she watched as a beetle walked along the balcony's railing. She inhaled deeply and focused all her attention on the crawling insect.
With a fluid motion, Lauren let go with the whip and snapped the bug to bits.
"Great!" Anthony brody said as he walked out onto the balcony. "If this archaeology thing doesn't work out, you can always become and exterminater."
"Very funny," Lauren said.
Anthony put his arms around her and they kissed.
Anthony looked around. "Hmm, I don't see your dad anywhere," he said as he kissed her neck.
"That's just it," she said. "You wouldn't until it's too late."
Anthony heard a door open. "Point well taken," he said. He walked into the living area. "We were just talking," he said as he was hit from behind. He fell in a heap on the floor.
"Anthony," Lauren said. She ran into the room, and saw a man from the corner of her eye.
Lauren ducked as a hand holding a pistol butt first swung over her head.
The whip unfurled, wrapping around a gun arm and sending the pistol sailing through the air and through the glass top of a coffee table. She pulled the whip to release it, but the action only pulled the gunman into her, both of them flipping over the back of the couch.
The guy wrapped his fingers around Lauren's throat. Her fingers clawed for something, anything that would be of help. Her hand found a beaten brass vase. She swung it with all her might, hitting the guy in the temple.
She was on her feet and running as the gut rolled off of her, holding his bloody head.
A bullet whizzed past her as she turned and saw that the guy was standing had retrieved his gun.
She ran the only place she could which was the balcony. She stopped at the railing and looked down.
"Not that way," she said to herself, seeing a good thirty-foot drop.
She turned around and found herself face to face with the gunman.
He was on her in an instant and pushed her back against the railing.
"What the Hell do you want?" Lauren asked into the guy's face.
"You are searching for the spear of Popocatepetl."
"How do you know that," she said, as she felt the railing loosening under thier combined weight.
"My employer has become aware that you are in the services of Juan Castaneda."
The balcony railing creaked a little more.
"He's not exactly our best friend," she said. "We have an arrangement."
"You should choose your "arrangements" more carefully."
One side of the balcony broke loose. The guy grabbed onto Lauren for support. She turned away, and the guys hand grabbed the locket, breaking the chain.
Lauren watched it slide from her neck and into the street below.
"Now, that pisses me off!" Lauren said, as she manuevered her legs in front of the hit man. With a quick movement, Lauren flipped the guy over the balcony, following the locket to the street below.
"Adios, Stupido!" she said.
