St. John Mental Institution
- I'm so sorry. –Jonathan was holding the clipboard with tears in his eyes. If he had helped his family in that excavation maybe his parents would still be alive.
- You found the book of Amon-Ra Johnathan! Read it and send him back to hell! –Evelyn yelled as the nurses held her in the stretcher and gave her another anesthetic.
- It's a difficult choice, but that's the only hope she has. – Doctor Thorn said, trying to convince Jonathan to sign the form allowing the lobotomy. In Evelyn's fantasies, Dr. Thorn was an evil mummy she had brought to life.
- All my life I've failed to keep you safe, Evy. – Jonathan couldn't stand watching his sister in that condition.
- Wait a minute. What's going on in here? –Dr. O'Connell arrived.
-We're trying to calm Ms. Carnahan to start the procedure. Some moments ago, she was in the morgue! –Dr. Thorn answered.
-The city of the dead! –Evelyn screamed.
-First, who left her alone in there? That morgue can disturb even me. Second, That's not a reason to send her to more shocks or lobotomy. Mr. Carnahan, – Dr. O'Connell took the clipboard of Jonathan's hands - Please, go home and think about that. Take a week or two, even a month if you want.
- O'Connell! you saved me. –Evelyn said relieved thanks to the medicine.
- Forget the mummies, okay? Go to sleep. –O'Connell caressed her head.
- O'Connell, you're ruining my work. –Thorn told O'Connell.
-With all respect Thorn, you're ruining this lady. You know that you and Ms. Morrigan make her nervous, so why you don't leave her to me?
Some months after
Jonathan and O'Connell were talking on the corridor.
- What's the news for her? –Jonathan asked hopefully.
- The good news is that the violent episodes ceased almost completely and the negative symptoms are almost gone.
- And the bad news?
- Some delusions are more articulate, including people she knows. She believes she is a reincarnated princess of Egypt. Dr. Thorn is a mummy, Ms. Morrigan is her past life evil stepmother, Half our staff are sacred warriors and the other half are mummies. She tried to "adopt" a boy from here, he accepted the idea, but Mr. Thorn took him away from her and now she says Mr. Thorn kidnaped him. And… -O'Connell paused.
- And what? –Jonathan asked him
- She believes that she and I are married… Probably because she feels lonely in here…
O'Connell looked at Evelyn's photo on her records. Even tough it was strictly against all medical guidelines, O'Connell was in love with her.
- All that because of the accident. – Jonathan sighed.
- That's a theory. –O'Connell touched Jonathan's shoulder – The archeological accident was bad for your both, but the loss of both parents at once… this is the worst.
