Natty and Fin were thrown into the back of a truck. Natty's hands were tied behind her back as she groaned in anger. Her blood boiled like hot water as her brown eyes shot bullets through wherever she looked.

"Erm... Natty?"

She looked up angrily at Fin.

"What?!"

He stared at her carefully. "Where are we going?"

"Sudan." Natty snapped.

"I... I thought we were in Sudan." Fin mumbled.

Natty looked up and glared. She was mad that Sallah set the two up. She was mad that she was just kidnaped after escaping. She was mad about almost kissing Fin.

"Cairo is in Egypt! Not Sudan!" Natty snapped angrily.

Fin nodded carefully with a sigh. "Sorry."

Natty wanted to scream. She wanted to kick Fin in the face again. She wanted to explode into oblivion.

"You seem to be very stressed." Fin said softly.

"Do I?!" Nagy snapped. "DO I?!"

"Oh lay off." Fin said with an eye roll. "What I'm trying to say is that stress increases the amount of anger one has. You could die from to much stress and anger."

Nagy stared at him.

"You can?"

Fin nodded and gave a smile.

"How do you know?"

"I'm a biologist. I'm not an archaeologist, but I am a biologist."

Natty gave a smile and tilted her head. "Your one weird British man, Finald Henderson." She said with a smile.

"And your one weird American girl, Henry Jones."

Natty felt her face heat up as she looked down. The two sat in silence for a bit as Natty pushed down her feelings for Fin.

Curse his stupid good heart, red hair, and British accent.

She gave a small sigh and leaned back. "Sallah is going to be so worried." She mumbled.

Fin nodded in agreement but gave a small smile.

"He was worried before we left. He gave me a tracker."

Natty looked up as her eyes widened. "He gave you a tracker?!"

"Erm, yes. That's what I just said." Fin scoffed.

Natty felt her eyes widened with a smile. "That smart old man." She said dreamily. Of course Sallah did this. He knew better after his adventures with Natty's grandfather Indiana Jones.

"We're getting outa here, and you better be ready." Natty said with a smirk.
