Indiana Jones Add-on!!!

Humm, let me think :scratch: It's really late so don't expect anything particularly wonderful. This is staying in the 40's time period just because I love it and can't imagine any other period that would work.

Year: 1940 Place: Oxford University, England
Name: Sam Jones (real name, Samantha, never, ever call her that)
Age: 21
Appearance: slightly tall, long dirty blonde hair (like her father's), tan, green eyes.
Personality: Fiercly independant and loyal, enjoys a good chase, very adventurous, only fear: spiders or other certain bugs.

Sam was walking toward the University building when she heard a voice.
"Hey Sam."
"Hello Alex." she said in a flat voice.
"What? You didn't miss me?"
Sam just looked at him. "No, good day." and she turned around to leave.
"Hold it there Sam. I have some pull in there, I can make sure that you are in on this dig."
"Listen Alex, I intend to get this dig on my own. Not because your father let you have your way again. Good day."


"Well, Miss Jones. Your resume is impressive, but the board is not sure that you have the maturity for this dig. It will take alot of diligence and hard work. So you shall go on the dig, but under the authority of Alex West. He will keep an eye on your work and report his findings to us."
"Sir, is that really necissary?"
"Yes, Miss Jones. Would rather not?"
"No, if the board feels it is necissary, I shall comply, though it is not my preferance."
"Understood. Good day Miss Jones."
"Good day Dr. West."

Sam sat down at her desk before class, although she was only 21 she was already a subsitute professor of archeology. She rummaged through drawer until she found what she was looking for, stationary. She started to write.

"Hey Dad,
I'm writing this to let you know what I'm up to. I got in on the Holy Land dig, as an apprentice, but at least I got in. At times like this I really wish I was a guy. I'm under Alex West, yeah, ironic, I know. This will an interesting dig either way. Can you imagine finding the original Bible manuscript? I just hope that the War doesn't mess everything up, I really don't want to deal with the Nazis. Well, I know this is short but I hope this finds it's way to you. If your in the area, look me up.
Sam"

If you looked at Sam right now you wouldn't realize how much there is to this girl. Most people would see a pretty woman who may be close to her first degree, when in fact she has a PhD. She was taught well by her grandfather, who raised her since she was 5, when her mother died. She went away to college when she was 15, and recived her PhD last year, in an unprecidented 5 years. Yet, the board still hesitated to let her go to her potential, which drove her mad sometimes.

Alex West came up to her door and leaned against the door jam.
"Hello Sam."
"Alex, what are you doing here?"
"I just came to see how the meeting went."
"You know full well how it went, thank you."
"Why what do you mean?"
"I'm under you Alex."
"Really! Well, that is a surprise."
"You don't act well Alex, don't try."
"I honestly didn't know Sam, I didn't mention anything to my father."
Sam just looked at him.
"Why do you hate me Sam?"
"Hate is a strong word, dislike definetly but not hate."
"Ok, dislike. Was it the South America dig?"
"You stole it, thank you very much. Do you know far that put me back? If you hadn't been behind my back I would be in charge of this dig. Now if you will excuse me I have to go. Good day."
She left before Alex could say anything.

* I probably should give a description of Alex, huh? Well, I didn't expect to put him in ths story, he just kind of popped up.
Name: Alex West
Age: 26
Appearance: Brown hair, tall, tan, blue eyes
Personality: Is used to getting his own way but has a soft spot for Sam, has known her since she came to the college and always seemed to butt heads with her. He is very independant himself, but not that loyal.*

"Hey Sam!" John shouted.
"Hey John." Sam said sounding pre-occupied.
"What's the matter?"
"Not much... I got on the Holy Land dig," Sam said.
"That's great!" John replied.
"I guess."
"Huh? Why?"
"I'm under Alex West." Sam said eyeing John.
"Oh." John sighed knowing how much she disliked Alex West.

"Oh, Alex, huh?"
"Yeah, well, I'll try to make the best of it. Let's just hope I don't end up getting sent home."
"Why would you be sent back?"
"Insubordination, he gets on my nerves."
"Well, sounds like a good lesson for ya."
Sam just looked at him.
"Hmm, um, when do you leave?"
"Day after tomorrow."
"Do you need to pack tonight?"
"No, I can pack in five minutes flat."
"How?"
"You think I deal with all of this" pointing to her hat, heeled shoes, skirt, blouse, and silk stockings. "on a dig? I'd end up dead. No, I just wear jeans, boots, a shirt and my dad's old hat."
"You still have that thing?"
"Yep, I love it. The only thing of worth I have from him."
"Well, are you busy tonight?"
"No, why?"
"I was going to go out to dinner, would you like to come?"
"Sure, why not. Nothing too fancy, right?"
"Not this time around."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that someday I am going to take you out for a fancy dinner and see you all dressed up."
"Good luck."

"Alright, bye" Sam waved.

*5 minuets later*

John got to his apartment and flopped on his bad excuse for a couch.
'About, an hour be for I pick up Sam' John thought.
He got up and moved to his closet and got in more casual clothes.

[Sorry, I'm sleepy and my mom's making me go to bed :mad: LoL, just kidding... I'm very sleepy my self :sleep: :sleep: ]

Thanks! That's all I needed!


"Oh, Jay pulled a prank on me. He said he got lost in a huge Mall, and needed me to come get him. I get to where he said he was, and he was standing right outside our old house. Little brothers are a pain. Anyways, what did I miss?"
"Oh, something important."
"Not the test!"
"Yeah, the test."
"Perfect! My entire carear, is ruined. Oh well. There's always next year. So, I heard you got a spot in the Holy Land dig. That's great!"
"Yeah, sure." Sam said sarcastically.
"Alright, what is it?" Christiana said crossing her arms.
"I'm with Alex. You know, my mortal enamy?"
"Oh, Alex hu? Sorry I can't help you. I gotta get to my next class before I flunk that one to."
"Bye."
