Stacey leaned back in the chair. Her feet rested on the desk. Her long red hair cought the light from the large window behind her, given it an almost gold color. Giving contrast to the black tank top and jeans she wore. She was the head of a small group of tomb raiders. Some people have called them the best but in their minds they just get the job done.
"It's adventure time," an english voice called.
Stacey looked up to see, Steve. A teammate and good friend.
"What's with the acent?" Stacey asked.
"Sorry," His voice quickly changed back to his more american style voice. "Here." he said as he quickly handed Stacey a folder.
Opening it she glanced at the infromation. "Grimhild, Queen of Niebelungs. She's a myth of the Nordic lands. The story goes, She was famed for her magic." Stacey looked up as if reciting it from memory. "She could erase a person's memory and control his will." She looked back down at the papers as she dropped her feet from the desk and sat up right. "It said that a magic ring gave her that power." Looking up at steve she replied. "Wait, don't tell me we have to find this ring."
"Fine then I won't tell you. But we still have our orders." Steve said as he folded his arms over his chest.

"besides," steve continued as he straightened the green tie of his off-white suit, "it promises to be full choke full of things that will attempt to kill us."
he walked around the desk and gathered up the folder, then pulled out a picture of the object of their mission, "the magic ring seems to be an important artifact. both to the employeers and to a cult that worships the old norse gods."
the ring certainly did not look special in any way. bronze metal with little decration. steve pointed at the picture and continued with the impromptu greeting, "according to one more modern story involving this thing was the hitler himself possessed it and that it was the ring's power that enabled him to take over germany and commit his evil deeds with the peoples will. a through search of his belongings was made by our 'friends' in the illuminati, but my sources in the society say that they dont have it."
stacey smirked, " you trust them to tell you the truth?"
"she has little reason to lie." he smiled at the memory, "nor does she want to get on my bad side" he paused for a moment, then returned to business. "the illuminati did find a journal that made mention to the ring and that he had sent it out of germany to be protected by a unnamed cult. research had revealed a location to the cult but they found nothing at the site."
"meaning that they misinterped the information"
steve's smile grew bigger, "bingo! however your favorite specialist found something that they didnt."

"And what would that be," Stacey said as she stood. "Because I would hate to be on a wild goose chase."

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about wild goose chases,hon." Russ said as he walked into the room and sat down. His long black coat touching the floor as he placed his feet on the desk looking at Stacey and smiled .

"Ouch. That hurt baby." Russ said as he got up and walked over to the bar for a drink. " You've always known I've always been a serious archeologist and I'm always searchin' for my mommy." Looking over at Steve, Russ said "Why do we put up with her again?"

steve sniffed the air before repling, "because she owns the house." he said sliding his spectecles back up off his nose with his forefinger, "pays us, and pays for the booze that you are getting ready to down."
he turned his attention back to stacey, "as i was saying i found that the temple of the cult was not there 'main branch' as it were. in fact it was just a holding vault for treasures obtained. the ring was taken, "he unrolled a map on the oak table by a shelf of very old books, then pointed to a spot on the yellowed map, "here, to the heart of arizona ironicly enough to perfer a cermony that would open the fabled casket of ancient winters, which is also missing if anyone's interested. stolen from a german museum three weeks ago."

"Sometimes they just make it too easy." Stacey said as she stared at the map.

Walking over to Stacey, Russ placed his glass of whiskey on the table and said to her," Well then, let's get dirty." He then lokked at Steve and said " Fire up the jet we're goin' to Germany."

"Jet? What do you think this is? Xaver's Mansion." She said as she looked up from the map. "Steve, get your jeep. Iam calling in a favor."
They arived at an small old airport located just out of town as Steve's jeep came to a hault. "Arizona is just like Germany, I always thought." Stacey said as she step out. "But we have already been on that route and found nothing. Steve knows what he is doing. Some of the time." She said looking at Steve until she saw a young women coming out of the hanger.

"Ooh, who's the chick?" Russ asked as he looked over at Steve. "She is alright! She could be my first ex-wife for sure." Picking up his bag he looked at Stacey and said,"Maybe this trip won't be a drag after all."

Steve just let russ drool as the young woman walked right up to the white suited american and wraped her arms around him. "was beginning to think that id never see you again," she said, "not since that adventure with chief setting sun."
"been busy, love," steve replied then turned in her arms to show the woman stacy and russ, "my companions i wired you about." then added "this is alexendritta campbell, finest trail guide in arizona. thanks to her i was able to locate the OTHER cult locations that our illuminti friends failed to find."
alexendritta extanded her hand to the other, "call me alex only steven calls me alexendritta. from him it sounds....hot"
stacy and russ just looked at steve for a moment in disbelief.
"what," he asked, "you knew i went on adventures that didnt involve queen and country."

With a cocky grin she stood there about to speack when a bullet whiped passed her ear. Her reflexes kicked in as she grabed her two pistols from her thigh, ducking behind the jeep for cover she fired several shots in the directions of where the bullet had came.

She watched as a bullet found it's mark and a man fell from the shadows. She kept fireing her eyes looking in all directions.
