Yemen, Arabian Peninsula

"Elena Fisher and Cole Stantz, Foreign Correspondents." Sully said as he, Nate and I board off of our plane and walk on the runway of the airport. Elena and Cole laugh as they walk up to us. "Hey, Sully." Elena and Cole greet at the same time. "How ya doin', you two?" Sully said as he and Cole shake hands then he goes over to hug Elena but she stops him.

"Uh, No, sorry, that's sorta frowned upon here." She said. "Oh, right." Sully said as he backs away from her. "Well then here! Bring it in, Elena." I said and we hug each other while Nate and Cole shake hands then give a quick bro hug to each other.

"You guys can hold hands though." Elena said as she points between the boys. Nate laughs at this then turns to Elena. "How are you, Elena?" He asked. "Good, thanks." She replied. "You, uh, you look great." Nate said and she sighs, looks down for a moment then looks back up to the rest of us. "So, against my better judgment...." she said and holds up three permits. "These permits will get you through most checkpoints." She said as she hands them to us.

"Okay, great." I said as I look at my permit. "Oh, and Elena and I shouldn't be worried about what's in those bags, right?" Cole asked us. "Course not." Sully laughs. "No." Nate said. "Yeah. Not yet, anyway." I said as we start to walk and I see Nate reaching out and grabbing Sully's hand and holds it for a few seconds before Sully pulls his hand out of Nate's.

Cole and I chuckle at this as we come up to the door of the airport and Elena turns to us. "All right, remember--you're journalists now. So try and act respectable." She said and we nod at her. "Think you two can handle that?" Nate asked Sully and I. "I think she's talking to you, bro." I said and Sully laughs as we enter the airport.

"So what exactly are you three reprobates up to?" Elena asked us. "Just a little historical research." Nate replied. "Right. So that explains the big rush." Elena said. "Exactly." Nate states. "No cursed treasures?" Elena asked him. "Nope." Nate replied. "No diabolical warlords?" She asked him. "No." Nate said and Elena laughs. 

"You are the worst liar." She said. "What?" He asked. "You are. Besides Cole's told me alittle bit of what (y/n)'s told him." Elena said. "We're not going to start this are we?" Nate asked just as Sully said. "Excuse me. The car, where is it?"

"It's over there." Cole said as he points towards the car which was just down the road. "I'll just take the bags and meet you." Sully said as he takes his, mine and Nate's bag and heads over to the car.

"Guys--" Elena started to say to us when Nate points at her finger. "You're still wearing it." He said and she looks down at her left hand and looks down at the silver band on her ring finger. "Yeah, I am. It helps in this part of the world." Elena said. "Oh, really." Nate said, smirking at her. "Seriously, don't flatter yourself." Elena said to him.

"Speaking of rings, I see you're still wearing yours." Elena said to me as she points out the ring around my neck. "What? Oh, oh, yeah." I said, confused for a moment of what she was talking about. She looks at me for a moment then her eyes widen and her jaw drops. "That's what this is all about, isn't it?" Elena asked as she looks between me and Nate. "You don't understand. We finally proved it. Drake lied about his route through the East Indies. Four hundred years ago, he came here." Nate said to her.

"Why, Nate?" Elena asked him. "That's what we're here to find out." I said to her. "No, she means, why this obsession?" Cole said to me and I look over at him. "Exactly. I'm- I'm just worried-" Elena said and Nate rolls his eyes. "(Y/n) and I can take care of ourselves, all right?" Nate replied.

"I'm not talking about you or your sister." Elena said and Nate and I give her confused looks then she nods towards Sully. We look over at him then back at her and Cole. "What, Sully?" We said, confused. "He would go to the ends of the earth for you two. Just - don't ask him to." Elena said and Cole nods as she goes over to the car. "C'mon, that's not fair." Nate said as he chases after her.
