[when they find Pas outside the temple, Linda is both relieved and worried--relieved because they've obviously found the right place but worried because it's just as clear that Niko must have gone in and never come out]
[she's happy to follow Boone's lead in a situation where she, admittedly, feels rather out of her depth. when he asks her to watch his back, she nods and quickly follows him, her pistol in one hand and a flashlight in the other. she has a small pack of supplies on her back--water, a little food, and some basic medical supplies that she honestly brought more at the thought of the state Niko might be than for any other reason. she only hopes they're prepared enough for whatever they find]
[once they're in the temple, at Boone's instruction to watch where she steps, she frowns a little, wondering for a second what he means--until it strikes her that this place that looks like something out of an Indiana Jones movie might function like it, too] All right. [she flashes the light around as they go, trying to be watchful both of anything that might sneak up behind them but also of where she's stepping as they advance]
[all this goes out the window, though, when she hears a voice. for a minute all her attention is on the ceiling. she can't clearly make out what's being said through the rock--or who's saying it--but her heart jumps in her chest anyway] Niko! Boone, that must be Niko! [cupping her hands around her mouth, she calls back:] Niko, we're coming!
