After Angel of Darkness

         Chapter 1

     It had been 3 months since Kurtis had gone missing in Prague, and there was still no sign of him. He was presumed dead. The police didn’t seem interested in finding him, nobody did; .... only Lara. 

Kurtis was the one person that helped her defeat Eckhardt, and she still had hope. Lara held the chirugai in her left hand. It was the only remaining thing that she had left to remind her of Kurtis. Since Lara’s return, The mansion didn’t seem quite the same. Kurtis had made her realise that there was more to life that what there seemed. There was a whole world out there waiting to be explored. Suddenly Winston the Butler burst in.

     Winston was getting worried about Lara. All she ever seemed to do was sit in her office all day studying the chirugai.

 “Miss Croft, there has been a break through.” He muttered, holding his tea-tray that had a newspaper covering it. Lara looked up. 

“ A break through? About what?” She asked Winston loudly. She hadn’t seemed herself these last few months. Winston stood by the door in the corner, looking as though he was afraid, as lara had now stood up from her office chair, Placing the chirugai carefully on the desk. Winston read,

   “A man has been found in Prague. He has dark, Short hair and blue eyes, says the papers. He is in care in a local Prague Hospital. He was found outside a so-thought abandoned building.”

    “I bet its Kurtis!” Lara Exclaimed loudly. Winston handed her the paper. There was a picture on the front of the paper of the building he was found by. Lara read on. ‘The man was found with very deep wounds that had cut right through his body. The police are very keen to investigate how the man got in this state. He is very Lucky to be alive, says doctors, as not many people would of survived an accident or attack like that. The man is unconsious in hospital, on a life support machine. If any body as any idea of who the man could be, please inform the local authorities in prague, or visit the hospital the man is in.. Thankyou.’ 

  Lara looked at the picture again. It looked very similar to the STRAHOV FORTRESS! Lara gave a wry smile. 

    “It's Kurtis, I know it is. He’s safe.” She muttered to herself. 

   “Looks like I’ll be packing for Prague again then”. She said, smiling to Winston, and walking out of her office for the first time in a few hours.
