Natty's hands were tied behind her back, attached to Fin's. The two were tied to a pole along with Sallah at a different pole.
Natty stared at the ground as her eyes teared up.
Sallah looked at her carefully and gave a small sigh.
"Natty it is not your fault."
Natty shook her head. "I... I was being careless. This was their plan. For me to lead them there."
Fin shook his head and looked at her. "I don't think their plan involved us finding Sallah. I don't think it involved us jumping from a plane."
"Or crashing a plane for that matter." Natty said softly.
"Just for the record we've been in two crashed planes already Jonesy." Fin said with a smile. "I'm not an archaeologist, I'm a biologist, but I know that you know what we need to do."
Natty gave a small smile and glanced at Sallah. He was moving his eyebrows up and down with a grin and Natty felt her face heat up. She shook her head and Sallah nodded.
He looked up, shook his head at Natty's idiotic expressions, and said, "Somewhere, your grandpa is laughing."
Natty gave a small smile and looked down. Then it clicked.
"Fin can you reach to my waist?"
"You're where?!"
"My waist idiot." Natty snapped.
Natty felt Fin's hand and he said, "Yeah I can feel your waist... where is this going?"
"Grab my pistol. It's right by your hand."
Natty heard Fin give a small gulp as he grabbed it and pulled it out.
"Wut now?"
"Shoot the rope."
"Wut?!?"
"Shoot. The. Rope!" Natty yelled angrily.
Fin nodded and found a safe space to shoot. He shot the rope and it snapped. Natty broke free and Fin did as well.
They both looked around as guards looked at them. No gunshot ever goes unheard.
Natty grabbed her pistol back from Fin and shot, as Fin ran to Sallah. Natty held up her pistol and pulled out her whip and smacked it in the air towards the men.
"Back up!"
The men came at her and she shot, then smacked the others with the whip.
Fin ran up with a new sword in hand and stopped some of the men behind Natty. Someone pointed a gun at her and Fin's eyes widened.
The gunshot sounded as Natty looked up. Fun jumped in front with his sword as the bullet deflected off of the blade.
"Hello there." He said looking at her with a smile.
"Hi... where did you get the sword?"
"Stole it. Duh."
Natty rolled her eyes as the two put their backs together.
"I got front, you get back." She said with a smile.
"Well, actually, this is relative. Technically my back is you, and my front is me. You on the other hand, your back is my front and—"
"If you don't shut up, I'll stick that sword up your—"
"I get the point!" He snapped.
The two fought along side each other and smiled. Natty shot someone and smacked her whip around hitting others away.
Fin kept an eye on her. Marion had told him to protect Natty before she died. He wanted to keep that promise no matter what.
Sallah ran over with camels and trampled over the men.
"NATTY, FIN!"
They looked up as Sallah pointed to a plane.
"They're taking the king!"
Natty looked up as the plane started up. Fin grabbed her hand and yanked her and she put a hand over the brown fedora her grandfather passed down to her.
Fin jumped onto the plane and pulled Natty up.
"Well that was dramatic."
"Shut up and let's get in." Natty snapped hitting him upside his red headed head.
The two somehow opened the door at the side and got in. Fin closed the door and looked out the window.
"I can't believe I thought that this was Egypt."
"Fin..."
"And you know, that this was all random— well it is."
"FIN!"
Natty grabbed his face and tilted it to Hans and his two bodyguards.
"Oh, well hello there you little bloody git."
Hans tilted his head and pulled a gun out from his pocket. "I 'ave tried to be nice. I 'ave tried to let you do your zing. I 'ave read everyzing about the archeology. Zese does not come close to vat I read."
"If you wanna be a good archaeologist, you gotta get out of the library." Natty snapped.
Hans tilted his head and pointed the gun at them. "It vas nice to know you Miss Jones."
"NO!"
Fin threw the sword in his hand like a javelin. One of the bodyguards jumped in front and dropped to ten ground.
"Is zat the best you can do?"
