SZDHGU. This update is long over do, forgive me. :|
Indy's mouth hung open, like a fish.
He wasn't sure what he was going to say, but his mouth closed and re-opened anyway, completely ready to say Something. Marion was standing right in front of him, staring back at him. He couldn't read her. Her expression, her face, it was foreign to him. He stood there, staring at her. What else could he do? This woman before him...this beautiful woman, that he loved more than anything in the world..before him...just told him that this boy..this young boy, err, man...charming, strong, smart young man, is his own son. (Woahh, what a run on.) His son, that he had barely gotten in his life. And now, he was supposed to be gone.
Indy lipped his lips. They were so dry. His mouth and throat were so dry. How could he ever mutter a sound? How could he ever say anything again? He could barely move! Was he going to stand this still for the rest of his life? A statue? He swallowed hard, and re-opened his mouth, about to say something..of course, he didn't know what. He was going to say something, but didn't. He was interrupted by a cough and a gasp of air...Indy's mouth was still open, but his head turned to the side, where that young man lay. His son. He knew exactly where that noise was coming from.
Marion also looked, frantically. The both of them stared back at eachother for a millisecond, before going down to the boy.
"Mutt, honey?!.."Marion called out, putting her hands on his flushed cheeks, desperate for another sign. "...Mutt! "
Indy too, on the other side of his son, was lightly shaking him. Perhaps, they had helped him in time! Maybe a few moments stalled, and his son would have been dead..but this boy there, who was slowly opening his eyes, and looking back up at him, was surely not dead. (Dang, I got to stop with these horrible sentences.) Indy's lip practically curled up into a wave , when Mutt blinked and looked straight into his eyes, and into his mother's eyes.
"Mutt! Honey, are you okay?!" Marion pleaded.
Mutt, taking in some fresh air, closed his eyes. "M-Mom..."
It was like Marion's life was hanging on a string, and now she was saved. She heard his voice, and instantly gave him the biggest kiss on his cheek. She knew her baby was alright! She didn't know how. It was a complete miracle! Even Indy, (obvously, by the look on his face.) was totally shocked. Surprise, Surprise! You didn't mess up so much after all! You saved him....your son. He didn't know how he did it..
"Yes, Henry. It's me, I'm right here." She assured him, as he fully woke up. He opened his again, and looked at his mother.
"Mom...I told you..not to call me that." Marion and Indy's face compeltely lit up. Their son was definately back! Indy, was carefully helping Mutt sit up straight, as Marion continued to talk to him. "You're aliright, aren't you?"
"I'm OK, Ma." Mutt nodded, taking a deep breath. One of the surrounding soldiers gave Mutt a bottle of water, which Indy had demanded. Mutt took to the water quickly, much to his paren'ts warnings. "Woah, slow down. Drink it slowly."
A clap was heard, as heavy boots entered the tent area. "Bravo, excellent. You've cured the boy." A thick Russian accent spoke. Indy and Marion looked up at Spalko, who wore a smirk. "You boy, you're not dead.."
Mutt looked at her, as well. "Apparently not."
"Well, isn't that just a miracle.." Spalko snickered, walking up to him.
"I swear, you lay a finger on him, and you're dead." Indy warned, quickly standing up. Spalko turned her head to face him, with a silent laugh. "Oh, Dad-mode is on, now, isn't it?"
Indy gave her a look. "I couldn't help but over hear your little conversation, earlier." She said, looking at Marion. "What a tragic story..But, it's good that the boy is back with the family. Now, this little event can end in a somewhat happy ending.."
"What do you mean?" Mutt asked her.
"Oh. This whole thing. You didn't think I was going to let you guys go, did you? You're dumber than I thought." Spalko continued, "Maybe, to spare you the suffering of death, again, you should have just-"
"You shutup!" Indy said, punching her right in the face. Spalko, with a hand to her chin, stumbled backward. Her sword flew out from her grasp, and landed right beside Indy's feet. He picked it up without a second to think. The guards around came forward to them, immediately, guns cocked and ready to shoot. Marion, helping her weak son stand up, was behind Indy. "Indy, what the hell're you doing?!"
Without even an answer, Indy went forward, using the sword to knock the guns out of the four guys surrounding. He punched one of the men with his left hand, using his right arm to push away from one of the men who charged towards them. "Marion! Get yourself and Mutt outta here!"
"That's the plan?" Mutt whispered to his mother. "To run?"
"Apparently, your father has a tendency to act without thinking. Just like you." She explained, as she still held onto her son, guiding him out from the back of the tent. Mutt was almost about to agree, when it sank in. Your father. "Wait, what?!" He asked her, as she kept a firm grip on him. Exiting the back of the tent, they soon realised that a group of more guards were around them, with their guns ready again. Quickly stopping in their tracks, Marion added, "I'll just tell you later."
:o I am so mad at myself. Sorry! I am, really. Sorry that this chapter was kinda short, and probably sucked lemons. But, I didn't know what else to say. Erhm, don't be too mad at me, alright?
