Raf walked over at it, scratched his chin once, then asked "Does the staff need to be whole, before it works, or will destroying one piece ruin the entire artifact?". He waited for a reply, eyes locked on the constantly slowly spinning eon-old artifact. It did not look very hospitable, indeed.

[[That's both and oops]]
"Sir, you shouldn't be here," Hilary said curtly as he opened the door and stepped on the porch. He knew who he was talking to and knew Lara would have a coronary if she found out he was at the manor.

"I don't know, which is why I want all of the pieces destroyed," Lara commented as she pulled up a map of Brazil with a red dot pulsing just slightly below the Amazon River. "That's where the ruins are located."

"Well, gettin' there'll be the easy part. Finding it won't." He said, going silent for a moment.
Feb. 6th, 1999 Phuan Truan Theq, Vietnam
"LAURAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" *Raf is dashing through the jungle; 3 large living statues with spears stomp off after him, shooting explosive fire-balls from the tips; one singes his hair, and blows away the rope bridge he was halfway across, 100 feet above a river*
Now that he was back again, he popped his neck. "I assume you've gotten everything ready to go by now?" He asked, uniting his head to look at her through part of his right peripherals. "And we've got help, right?" He asked.

"All except for our friends. Hang on, Hilary's outside talking to somebody," Lara said as she noticed the open door and made her way over to see what was going on.
"Hilary?" She asked as she stepped outside and came face to face with an old rival.
"Terry Sheridan. What are you doing here?"

"Oh Hillary, don't be so rude." I said smiling a bit. Then Lara showed up. "Nice to see you to Lara" I said sarcastically. "I mean you did shoot me but we won't hold that against you." I said and then looked at her. "I would have much rather you said hello and showed the guy you shot some respect.". I knew i didn't deserve her respect but i wanted to make her feel a bit guilty.

Raf stood, pulling out of all things, a black 160 GB video iPod, and began to listen to music. Volunteers for his wing of the expiditiary team had already been chosen in advance of her meeting her with him now; they would be ready to go when he was. Apparently, there would even be a PBY-1 Catalina, doing the airlifting in and out of the region, which had him actually looking foreward to this soon-to-be h3llish little excursion. He loved old airplanes, and that certainly was an old airplane, alright.
After waiting perhapse 10 minutes, Raf thought it was time to migrate to the 4th stair from the bottom. It was there he sat, using his iPod to watch a movie he used to love as a kid: "The lion King".

"I would much rather have the guy I shot turn and leave my property before I shoot him again," Lara said somewhat coldly. Despite having been a while since she last saw him, she will never forget how he wanted to sell Pandora's Box on the black market. An action that could have destroyed all of mankind. She knew what he was trying to do and it wasn't going to work. She didn't feel guilty about shooting him then and she certainly wouldn't feel guilty about hurting him now. This was perhaps most evident by the fact that she had her right hand wrapped around the combat knife that she carried with her everywhere.
"You're not wanted here, so go. Leave. And don't come back."
The sound of footsteps approaching could be heard as Santiago Marquez, Lara's most recent ally, walked up the steps behind Terry and stopped just short of walking right into him.
"I'd listen to her if I were you," Santiago said as he crossed his arms.

"Simba: Whoa!! You live here!? Timon: We live wherever we want. Pumbaa: Home is where your rump rests!!"
Raf watched, enthralled by the video so much so that he did not hear anyone outside, about to start arguing. That snicker's bar he kept in his trench-coat pocket found it's way out, and was currently being eaten, though Raf wished he had mt. dew to drink with it.

I smiled a bit. Still the same Lara. I took a step towards her and ignored the new comer. "Go ahead Lara shoot me, knife me whatever you want to do. I think you would feel guilty about it seeing as how i haven't threatened you in any way." I said and then took her hand that held the knife. I pulled her hand to my neck so that she could easily kill me with one swift move.

Lara's hand let go of the knife as she put both hands on her hips and united her head, "Okay, Terry. You've got my attention what do you want?"
I can't believe I fell for that, Lara thought to herself as she realized she was giving Sheridan the exact response he wanted. Then again she'd be doing the same thing if she knifed or shot him. She looked at Santiago and sighed as he chuckled quietly.

[[ Jadena is M.I.A. for now. I guess I'll have Raf leave, then get into a confrontation with the 3vil one to keep us moving. ]] ~20 minutes later~ Raf checked the rolex; the time was well passed 11:00 pm. Standing stiffly, he took one last look at the image of the staff, and then rose in a stretch. The butler had possibly anticipated this move; he seemed to magically appear, out of one of many doors in the house, and headed right for him. "Yo, butler d00d. I can glean that Ms. C's busy, and I also have several preparations to attend to before we go, as well. It's late anyway; I figure she's told me what she will about this." He took out a business card from an unseen pocket in the coat; "If she needs to get in contact with me again, tell her to call this number." He said, pointing to a phone number, under another labeled "(work)". "It's the # to my new cell, so she won't have to go hunting for me again." He said, walking to the door by now. "Tell her I'll be back tomorrow at 10:00, unless I call." He said, giving one short wave to the agining man who held the business card, before stepping through the door, his coat flipping out of view: Dr. Rafael Zamora Specialist in Exotic Retrieval Services, As well as accomplished archaeologist.
Work: (111)594-5863 ex. 211 Cell (personal): (111) 386-0512

"Well Lara" I said and shifted from foot to foot. I wanted to apologize to her but not with so many people around. "I'd like to speak to you privately if thats okay." I said looking down. I was going through how i was going to tell her i was sorry. It wouldn't be easy if not down right embarrassing.

"This is as private as it's going to get, so if what you're going to tell me will bruise your ego? Too bad," Lara replied, her voice reflecting her annoyance. She was losing patience with Sheridan and it was beginning to show. Unless he was apologizing she wanted him gone.

I sucked in a breath. Might as well say it. "I'm... I'm... I'm sorry Lara." I finally said. "What i did was wrong and i see that. If that box had gotten in the black market it would have killed many people. I might have been one of them... Or even worse you might have been one of them.". I shook my head. Yep, this was embarrassing but necessary. I didn't like Lara mad at me. I really liked her. Maybe even loved her.

"Well that's nice to hear. Bugger. Look, just make yourself useful and get inside, I'm going after one of the most dangerous artifacts to date and I'm gonna need all the help I can get," Lara said as Santiago walked around Sheridan and headed inside. Lara turned and followed, waiting until Sheridan was out of earshot before whispering to Santiago.
"If Terry tries anything...kill him."

I sighed. I felt a lot better now that i was forgiven. I waited a second and then followed Croft and the other man in. We were after another dangerous artifact. Just like Croft. Always after something or another. It was usually always dangerous. I followed her to the study and waited to be briefed.

"Uh, they're in the tech room this time," Bryce said as he looked up from the robotics book he was reading in the study. He had been temporarily kicked out of his computer lab so that Lara could brief her colleagues.
---
"Wait, where's Terry?" Lara asked as she looked behind her and saw that he wasn't standing where he should be.
