"Now's not the time for that, Mr. Frankton!" Tigris exclaimed urgently. "We're in trouble! You have to come here quickly!"
"What's wrong?"
"You'd know when you get here!" Tigris cried and hung up before Frank could ask for details.
"What's wrong?" Lara asked, though she could tell that something was wrong too. "Sylvie will be fine alone. Let's go back together!"
Frank nodded, and they were soon back at the flatlands.
Before they arrived, they could hear noisy footsteps but found nothing when they went closer!
They soon found Tigris and his men huddled together outside the tents, looking around while trembling.
"What happened?" Frank asked, hurrying toward him.
Tigris almost broke into tears. "Can't you hear the footsteps? They're so close, but we can't see anyone! This place is really haunted!"
His men were all nodding and sweating down their backs.
"Haunted? Not likely!"
Frank did not believe in the paranormal.
But he did hear footsteps… Could it be…?!
"Wait, no… Someone must have entered the tomb!" Frank exclaimed in realization that the footsteps were coming from beneath the ground, meaning that someone had found another entrance!
"The tomb? Well, what should we do?" Tigris asked.
"Wait up here. I'm going down for a look!" Frank said.
Just as they calmed down, an emerald glow shone just ahead.
The thugs turned to see that it was Frank and Lara, with the former growling in annoyance, "Don't even think about it. Get out while I'm still feeling patient."
"Don't you think you're overreaching, kid?" Blondie laughed. "There's so many of us. You'd never win!"
Lara actually smiled, rolling up her sleeves and assuming a fighting stance. "Is that so? Then come play with me!"
"Don't complain that we're using numbers when you lose, bitch! Get them!"
Blondie then glanced at one of the thugs beside him who whipped out his metal bat, yelling as he charged forward.
When he got close, Lara launched a perfect side kick, knocking the thug into the war as dirt rained down on him!
"A martial elite?!" Blondie exclaimed in shock but quickly told the others, "Don't go alone! Flank them!"
