"What of it?" Savannah asked, "I don't know you, what do you want with me?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to alarm you or anything," Rika apologised, "My name's Rika Clavell. I'm an archaeologist. I was hoping I could ask you about the artifact your father found."

"I'd love to stop and chat, really but I have to move - I have a plane to catch and I'm in a real hurry, I'm sorry." Savannah answered politely before turning to once again follow Twi to his plane wherever it was.

"Where are you headed?" Clive asked quickly, hoping for an honest answer.

"The artifact was stolen," Rika called after her, "That's why you're here, isn't it? To search for it."

Twi caught Savannah's movement and started off again, glancing behind to make sure that things were going alright. They were talking about artifacts and archeology...and that kind of stuff made him tired. He shook his head, looking around the airport. Those three men who had passed them earilier were headed back their way.

Savannah pulled up sharply.
"No, I'm not stupid enough to believe it would be brought back here." Savannah said quietly. "But there is something here I must see for myself. Questions must be asked." she answered Rika and Clive in one statement.
"Now I really must be going." Savannah insisted, then she spotted the three men she'd seen previously. And too late, they'd spotted her.

After answering Rika and Clive, Savannah seemed to freeze, looking at something behind them. Rika turned her head briefly to see three men staring back at Savannah. Rika raised and eyebrow, turning back to the professor's daughter.
"Something wrong?"

"Yes, very." Savannah snapped. The men, how she dispised their faces. She'd often dreamed of this moment when she'd meet them again. But rather than the all out war she'd imagined inflicting upon them, she wanted nothing more than to flee. The murderers, for that was what they were. Simply stared at her. The man in the middle grinned slowly.
"They murdered my brother." Savannah answered. "I'm sure they stole the amulet from us in the process. Now they are after the same answers I am. I have to beat them to it!"
Without another word, Savannah turned and ran, sprinting to catch Twi and to hurry him along. Time really was of the essence now. A tear rolled down her cheek and she scrubbed it away furiously.

"Shouldn't we follow her?" Clive asked, already starting a fast walk, "Maybe we can help."

"Keep an eye on where she's going," Rika answered, "We need to distract those guys."
She looked around and spotted a group of airport security. An idea occured to her, and she quickly took her hair down and ruffled it into a mess. Her sunglasses were shoved into her bag, revealing a pair of sparkling green eyes.
She pulled off her jacket and tossed it to Clive, "Hold this." Then her shirt partially unbuttoned, just enough. Finally, she forced herself to concentrate on a sad memory, until tears began to fill her eyes.
Then she ran over to the security guards, sobbing, and pointing at the three guys Savannah was running from. "They ... they .... please, those men ... they ...." she dropped to the floor, crying. The guards looked up and pinpointed the men.
"Hey! Hey!" they yelled running over to the men. Nearly everyone in the airport turned to watch.
Now that everyone was distracted, Rika rearranged her clothing, grabbed Clive and started running for the exit.
"Which way did they go?"

"That way!" Clive answered, running with Rika and adding, "That was awesome."

"Thanks," Rika answered with a grin as she turned to run in direction Clive indicated, "Just a trick I picked up."

Clive ran with Rika, following Savannah, and catching up slowly.
"This is starting to be pretty fun," Clive joked.

Twi nodded to Savannah as she caught up with him and began to jog as he saw his plane. "There." He pointed it out to her and hurried ahead to get the pre-flight check done and make other, necessary, arrangements.

"Great, lets move. Fast." Savannah said, keeping her tearstreaked face averted and keeping ahead to avoid having to answer awkward questions. She knew they'd have to shift themselves if they were to beat those... evil bastards... to it.

"We knocked those guys off your tail," Clive shouted after Savannah.
"Well actually, she did." he pointed at Rika.

Savannah paused at the light plane whilst Twi swung up, into it to begin his pre-flight checks.
"Thanks." Savannah answered uncertainly, 'I think' she thought to herself.
"But why? What is it you want? Forgive me for being defensive but this isn't the usual way one makes random friends - especially with people who know more about you than you'd care to tell."

"I'm not really sure," Clive answered, "She did it, like I said. I'm just trying to help her."

"You're welcome," Rika answered, then held up her hands in the traditional sign of peace, "Look, I'm sorry if I freaked you out. And I don't know anything about you, except your name. I was guessing back there. So we're even - I told you my name, remember? Rika Clavell.
"As for why I distracted those men ... well, you didn't look like you'd welcome their company. I figured you could use the help. All I want is know about the amulet your dad found. I want to know if its the same amulet I'm looking for. Okay?"

Twi poked his head back out. "Be only another minute...maybe a bit less."
He scanned the group curiously, then went back to his hurried, but careful, preparations.

"Why are you so interested in it?" Savannah asked the woman - throwing a cautious glance at the man accompanying her, "You're another treasure-hunter? Plan on selling it on the black market?"

"No way." Rika scowled at even the thought, "I'm after answers. Answers to questions I've had for a long time."

"And I'm only interested in preserving the amulet," Clive added, "The money doesn't really mean anything..."

Savannah glanced up into the plane. Twi looked nearly finished... she made a snap decision, hoping like hell she wouldn't regret it later.
"C'mon." she threw over her shoulder to the woman and her friend and swung into the little plane. She had to keep her head bowed as to prevent knocking it on the low ceiling. She settled into a worn chair behind Twi and snapped on her belt. She took a deep breath. For better or for worse - it was a party of four now.
