Tomb Raider: The Lost Colony

4 - Brighter Days

As I awoke the next morning the sun was shining so bright it was blinding. I guess that horrible storm had passed which was good since it was raining for almost 3 days. I lay there In bed just thinking what the day had in store for me, I wanted to have a good day but that seemed inevitable. "Well since the sun is out I guess i could go practice shooting some targets outside". I got out of bed, when into my huge closet and got on my archery outfit. (Minutes Later) "Morning Winston" Lara Said with a smile as she was heading down the stairs. "Morning Lara. Have a great sleep?"
"I've had Better nights, but it was great to wake up with the sun hitting my face, haven't had that for a few days."
"Well it is great after the weather has been quite odd lately, but what can you expect during the fall season. But never mind that, are you heading out? Winston asked.
"No, I thought I'd go practice shooting some targets outside, might as well make the best of it while the sun is out...But could you do me a favor? Do you think it would be possible to get in contact with with any of my fathers close contacts?
"Sure Thing lady Croft". As she got outside she thought she'd take a walk through the maze her father had put in ages ago. "I've always hated this maze" Lara said with a frown. After a few minutes she made it to the training course. She pulled the bow from off of her shoulder, pulled an arrow out from the quiver, she placed it in the position of aiming, she breathed slowly, in and out, and she let go, the tip of the feathers slowly gliding across her cheek. "Fssshpa" the arrow hit the outer ring of the target. She shoots another just missing her first arrow, the third, a bit closer to the bullseye. "Fsssshput, Damn it" she pulled another arrow out. The creaking of the bow sounded like it was about to break, "Fsssshput" she opens her eyes and realized she hit the center. "Lara" she smiles and looks away from the target, "What is it?"
I've managed to get somebody on the phone for you but they demand to speak in person, not over the phone"
"Who was it?" She asked mysteriously.
I managed to get a hold of a Woman named Jacqueline Natla? She said she was a great friend of your fathers, that's all she said"
"I'll be in there in a few minutes Winston, tell her to stay on the line, thank you." Lara said somewhat confused. She remembered a person with that name ages ago, but couldn't really cipher on who it was" She put her bow and arrow on the rack and headed back to the manor.
