Chapter 12
Lauren ran back into the room towards Anthony. SHe shook him a bit and kept repeating, "Anthony, wake up."
Indy came into the room and said, "I thought I heard --", and saw Anthony on the floor, waking up slowly, and saw the marks on Lauren's neck, "What happened?"
"It seems we have someone else after the spear," she said as Anthony sat up and rubbed his head.
"Who?"
"Some bloke came in here, hit me in the head, and by the looks of it, tried to hurt Lauren", Anthony said.
Eric came into the room with Michael in tow. Eric opened Lauren's hand, dropped the locket in, and said,
"Next time you don't want jewelry, Laurie, don't throw it out the window."
Lauren put the locket in her pocket and Michael asked, "What happened in here?"
Indy waved it off and said, "Never mind that. What did you two find out about the spear?"
"It has some sort of magical value," Michael said, "sacred to mainly lovers torn apart by war."
"I remember," Anthony said, "reading about how Popocatepetl used that spear to protect the girl he loved. It's said that his spirit haunts the mountain."
"But two people after the same thing?" Lauren asked, "That's ridculous."
Indy patted her shoulder and said, "We'll get to the bottom of this, Lauren."
I hope so, she thought as they made plans for the next day to travel to Popocatepetl.

"I don't know if we should be doing this," Lauren said as Anthony escorted her to a restaurant he found in the marketplace.
"Relax," he smiled at her, "We'll be fine."
"Are you sure you're alright?" looking at him, "You took a nasty hit."
Anthony chuckled a bit, "A bump on the head won't bother me in having a good time with you."
She smiled at him as he ordered their dinners, remembering when she first met him. She was visiting her father last year when she accidently ran into Anthony coming out of Indy's office. He was a native Londoner, studying in the States for a degree in Archeology. Her father told her that he looked like a younger version of Marcus with his brown hair and blue eyes. For the first time, she believed she was actually falling in love with a guy. And wouldn't you know, Dad knew his uncle and liked Anthony as well, she thought as Anthony looked at her and said,
"What's on your mind?"
"Nothing," snapping back to the present, "Just thinking."
He touched her hand, smiled, and said, "Might I ask what?"
Lauren was ready to reply when a woman came up to them and asked,
"Are you senorita Jones?"
"Yes," frowning a bit, "I am."
The woman showed her a gun from her handbag and said, "I must speak with you, senorita. Right now."
