Lara Croft is on holiday with Tsang Do Khyi when she receives a phone call from Vymes, reminding her that she hasn’t returned his stolen artefacts. Lara tells him the deal is off since he wasn’t who she thought he was. Vymes then takes action against her.

Allies:

Tsang Do Khyi
Previously seen in issues #21 to #23, ​Lara had taken Tsang on holiday to the Aegean Sea. However they were not safe as they had been followed by Lord Vymes.

Baddies:

Lord Avram Vymes​
Previously, Lord Vymes had sent out some henchmen to approach Lara Croft to commission her to steal eastern artefacts from the British Museum and from private collections. Lara had declined but hours later, his own private museum was broken into and several items were stolen. He put the blame on Lara as the thief looked like her, however Lara later told his henchmen that there were lookalikes and that she would find out who robbed him and retrieve his items, all for an apology and two million pounds.
 
In issue #24, as Lara hadn’t return his stolen items for him as agreed, he followed her and Tsang to the Aegean Sea, where he sent out killer hagfish and a large sea creature to kill them.

Enemies:

Killer Hagfish
​Unpleasant looking creatures sent by Lord Vymes to try and kill Lara Croft and Tsang Do Khyi.

Sea Creature
Another creature sent out by Lord Vymes to try and kill Lara and Tsang. It is large in size and has a razor sharp tongue.
