Just came up with this idea. Really wanted to write a story about it. Lara and Kurtis teamed up in Prague and went on after the fifth Obscura painting together. Readers, sequel to 'Return of Darkness' will take a little more time. Until that, enjoy this. Review as well.

Ending

Prologue

Kurtis Trent ran to pull a huge lever after his small battle with the Proto Nephilim. To begin with, he had come behind that Croft woman, who turned the power of the main security system off. 'Stupid woman!' he thought to himself. Also, he didn't sign for coming and fighting this mutant baboon, but to turn the power back on. Sometimes, when he thought about her, he had a strange feeling, as if attracted to her. No way that was planned with what he did at the Louvre with her. But yes, life is full of surprises. His task completed, unplanned task, defeating the Proto, he walked back towards the air lock that kept the woman a prisoner. 'Really,' he thought to himself, 'I have iritated that woman a lot since I saw her in Paris,' and chuckled lightly. His trusty Boran X in hand as a caution if any more mutants turned up, he finally saw the airlock, situated above a ladder protected by gun terrets. He pushed the button and the doors opened with a little gas. He moved in, 'Empty!' he thought to himself.

THUD! He turned around to see the cause of the sound, and was, surprisingly, kicked by the woman in his hand which caused to let his pistol fly away from him. As if that was not enough, she aimed her Scorpian X at his forehead and as if realizing his end, he closed his deep blue eyes. 'Goodbye Trent, pleasant dreams,' his final thought.

BANG! 'Huh, what? No pain!' His eyes fluttered open and he saw the beutiful woman staring at something behind him. He turned around and saw that spiked mutant from the Maximum Containment Area. Now he owed her one.

"Thanks," he calmly responded to her action.
