Rust, Relics, and Ruins

You are Cordelia "Delia" Stevens, hunting for antiques and relics in the arid mountains of Arizona. You get yourself into strange places when you are broke and trying to pay off debts, such as dark, musty mine shafts that have been abandoned for a hundred years.You and your best friend Simon, a computer geek, are crawling through a rubble-filled tunnel when you hear a terrifying shriek echoing from the depths. Pushing forward, you enter a natural cavern that smells strangely of the ocean and fresh blood. Inside, you find the gruesome, decapitated body of a young man wearing a torn khaki shirt.When dark moans begin echoing from the tunnels behind you, you and Simon sprint for the surface. You escape the mountain and return to your battered blue Volkswagen Vanagon, Zelda, only to find the door wide open and your expensive Dirt Viper metal detector stolen. The only clue to the perpetrators are two black Harley-Davidson motorcycles with Montana plates parked nearby.Shaken, you retreat to your campsite at the White Spar campground, only to find a sleek silver Jaguar parked in your spot. Out steps Artemis "Temi" Sidaris, your childhood friend. Before her tennis career fell apart, the two of you shared a single, charged kiss—an almost-something that never got to happen. Now she drops a massive surprise: she wants to work for your struggling business.You wipe the dust from your eyes, look at the stolen equipment, the woman from your past, and the looming mountain behind you."So," you say, stepping forward, feeling a faint spark of that old, unresolved tension. "What exactly brings you to our campsite?"
