Indiana Jones and Secret of Sleepy Hollow

"Don't worry about what others think about you. You have to think about yourself and do what you think is right. Some people in this life are just mean, they don't have real friends." He gave her advice. He couldn't help but shiver when she mentioned snakes. Indy too was afraid of snakes.

"I hate snakes too, never have, never will..." thinking about all the times he had been terrorized by the legless reptiles.

The two walked past the fence of St. Martin's Church, Reverend Alfred Knapp watched the two from the church door with a dour look on his face.

"I'd really appreciate that," Indy smiled as he let Jackie show him around. It was his first day, and he already had a beautiful girl showing him around campus. It was easy for him to forget about what Deirdre was up to back home, and all to easy to begin to think about the present. There were many beautiful girls around the Marshall College campus, and Jackie was definitely one of them. He didn't mind spending the next few hours with her.

Out in the courtyard, Katherine Dale stood glaring at Jackie Bell. She was with the young, new archaeology professor Dr. Jones. It made her furious to see the nerd with the handsome professor already. She vowed she would make Jackie look like a fool in front of Dr. Jones. It's not over yet, until Doctor Jones is mine.

Through his office window Dr. Black could see everything from the new Professor Jones taking a seat next to the girl. It infuriated him. Its time to keep an eye on Mr. Jones....

Indy didn't know how his predecessor was killed or why, but he would talk to Marcus about it later. It was a little bit disturbing to know the events of his death had been violent. Brody had failed to mention that in the letter he wrote about his new temporary position. He was interested in finding out what was going on around here.

"Jackie, its okay, the police will find man responsible."

"Nice to meet you, Jackie," he smiled and laughed when Jackie mentioned Dr. Black. "He reminds me of my Father..." He paused, thinking about his Father and how he hadn't spoken to him in a long, long time.

Jackie changed the subject and he was grateful. Indy sighed. "My day has been interesting, trying to develop my skills as a teacher without becoming the boring type, but getting the right information across, but I keep thinking about how much I love the field and wanting to be out there looking for something new for the world."

He noticed she had been reading an old book. "What were you reading? If you don't mind me asking?"

Indiana Jones and Secret of Sleepy Hollow

Taking off his reading glasses and placing them in a case and back in his brief case, Indy donned his fedora and walked out out of his classroom. He strolled down the halls and exited the building to take another view of the campus. It was a beautiful day outside, and Indy enjoyed being outside as much as possible, something about being cooped up indoors just wasn't his thing. He walked around campus passing a very couples holding hands and other students having conversations. He remembered what it was like to be a student, it wasn't that long ago. He was incredibly lucky that young man like himself could even have his PhD and college professor so quickly. Indy loved teaching, but something about fieldwork you really couldn't replace with anything else.

Indy was walking along when he noticed his student, the girl who had been brave enough to speak her mind in class, sitting by herself. On a good day such as this it almost seemed like an oxymoron to see her down on her luck on a bench alone. Indy walked over to the bench. "Hope you don't mind if I have a seat, but I couldn't help but notice you sitting here all by yourself on this gorgeous day. By the way, you can call me Indy outside the classroom," He said watching other students and professors walking by.

"I've scaled the Great Pyramid in Giza, Egypt twice actually and I've done some fieldwork there two years ago. Over 4,000 years old. By King Cheops, it's one of the largest constructions ever made by man and one of the seven wonders of the world," he said remember all the visits he made to the ancient sites of Egypt.

"I actually have a piece with me from a dig I was able to attend as a child at Howard Carter's dig in 1908, and I was present when the archaeologist found and opened architect Kha's tomb in Egypt." He walked over to his briefcase and opened it up, reaching into one of the pockets he pulled out an object wrapped in cloth. Indy unwrapped it and showed the class.

"This is the Jackal headpiece was an Egyptian artifact gifted to Kha the architect by his pharaoh. It originally adorned a statue of Kha placed within the architect's tomb, and was found within a secret chamber. According to hieroglyphs found on the walls of the secret chamber, the headpiece possessed 'eyes of fire' indicating its eyes were precious stones." He looked at the clock as it was time to end his first class. Finally.

"That's all for today, I'll see you all on Wednesday," Indy finished as he began to collect his notes. Most the students cleared out as if a fire alarm was raised. Indy didn't think he was that bad.

Katherine had been watching Jackie make her comments and before she got up she made her way over to her desk. "So it looks like we have a new teacher as well as pet," she said to Jackie snidely walking away to her next class making sure to say good bye to Professor Jones before she left.

Dr. Black walked over to Indy, placed a cane on his desk, and shot him a stern look. "Just remember Dr. Jones, stick to the syllabus," he said to Indy before walking out of the classroom. Great, this guy is worse than my Father.

Indy grabbed his fedora and decided it was about time for stroll around campus.

Summer 1925

Marshall College

It was a particularly dark night and shadows cast even greater demons when the moonlight entered through the windows of the empty College Office Building except it wasn't empty and Dr. Corbin, professor of Archaeology, had turned the lights off in his office after a long night of grading term papers, and quietly dozed off in his chair. After several hours of uninterrupted sleep, Corbin heard a noise which woke him from his slumber. Suddenly opening his eyes, he looked around the room to get his bearings and realized he'd dozed off in his office when he heard a second noise outside his office doors. He was not alone. Corbin stood up from his chair and walked to his office door, through the clouded window of the office door he could see shadows in movement. People were walking the halls at this hour, it must be students attempting to play a prank he thought to himself. I'll end this right now. He opened the door to find nothing but empty hallway.

He gasped before a pair of arms grabbed him from behind there was a short struggle before he escaped his captor, what appeared to be a man wielding an ax, dressed in the garb of a seventeenth century British soldier, he had a scar on his hand, and he was headless... The man raised his weapon in the air ready to strike. Corbin rushed over to his desk drawer where he had a hidden revolver, but he was too late. The ax sailed through the air, the tip of its blade super-heated, cut clean through Corbin's neck and struck into the office wall. The professor's head rolled to the floor and the headless man retrieved his ax before vanishing from the office.

August 1925
Bedford, New York
Marshall College

It was Monday morning the 24th, and the beginning of the Fall semester at Marshall College. Indy wore his grey suit and his usual fedora and carried a suitcase in hand. He had arrived on campus as soon as he could after his boss at London University had told him he was being sent back to the states for a temporary assignment at Marshall College. Indy was certain it was punishment for being new to teaching, and now that his old boss was gone he had no one to vouch for him; but at least it was only a semester, and he was told he was to return to London immediately after to continue work at the University. Deirdre was continuing her studies in London, and she had not been herself lately after the loss of her mother, and so the recently blossomed relationship seemed to be dying as quickly as it had grown. It seemed to be for the best that he was away for a few months.

He took in deep breath of campus fresh air as he walked past a lovely garden while students passed by in all directions heading towards their places of study. Two gentlemen in suits seemed to be watching him as he approached. "Dr. Jones, I presume?" the larger man with a cane asked.

"Why yes," he replied.

"Welcome to Marshall College campus. This here is Dr. Adams Dean of Students, and I am Dr. Black chairman of the campus's history department and your new boss."

"Pleasure to meet you both," he said shaking both gentlemen's hands.

"Thank you for arriving so soon for the replacement this semester, we can't thank you enough for you to come out here and help with the students. Let us give you a campus tour and show you where you will be staying.

The two gave Indy the campus tour showing him all the places he needed to know for his stay, and by the end of the tour he was shown his new office, classroom, and faculty suite where he would be staying. He thanked the two before they left, and he began to unpack his suitcase on the bed. It wasn't much, just clothes, his journal, his teaching materials, and his field equipment which consisted of his bullwhip, his .455 Webley revolver, and his satchel. He began to organize and place his things in the drawers provided bedside.

He was thinking about rest when he looked at his watch, it was almost time for his first two-hour class at nine o'clock. He grabbed his briefcase full of teaching material and headed toward Stroud Hall where his classroom was located. Along the way he ran into Dr. Black who said he wanted to sit in on his first class. Great, that's all I need someone looking over my shoulder.

As Black guided Indy to classroom 113, Indy opened the door to see all of his students sitting at their desks. There must have been thirty to forty students. Suddenly Indy felt a bit uneasy as he put his briefcase down and placed his fedora at his desk and, but Dr. Black was the first to break the silence.

"Good morning, class. I want you all to welcome, Dr. Jones who will be your professor of Archaeology this semester. He is a visiting professor from London University and experienced archaeologist who has done exceptional fieldwork in Greece, Iraq, Egypt, and just returned from his work in Scotland," Black said as he spoke to the class, making eye contact with his daughter Shay.

A few students clapped for Indy as he approached the front and Dr. Black took a seat at the back.

"Thank you, I appreciate the welcome, Dr. Black and class. I'll begin Archaeology 101 - Discovering the Past with this quote from Lord George Gordon Byron, The best prophet of the future is the past."

He put his glasses on before breaking out the syllabus and going over the general outline of topics to be discussed over the semester. He was a bit intimidated while he read, but hoped it wouldn't show too much. It was dull, boring first day as usual, and Indy could already gauge the students by seeing who was paying attention and who wasn't as he went over the introduction. Some students were already sleeping. Indy noticed a few girls passing notes and smiling at him. They were very attractive, but he didn't allow himself to be distracted from the lecture. It was going to be a long two-hours.
