Elizabeth leafed through the mail.
"Dad, letter for you!"
Rick O'Connell walked sleepily downstairs tearing the letter open that his 14 year old daughter tossed to him.
His eyes widened as he read the letter. Elizabeth walked past, and became slightly curious about the letter which had her Father hypnotized.
"Erm, Dad, what is it?"
Rick slowly got up and walked up the stairs to his bedroom were Evelyn was brushing her hair. Rick stood in front of her.
"Erm, Honey, what is it?"
"Did you know Ardeth had a daughter?"
Evy sighed.
"Yes, told you 9 years ago, when she was born, shows what a memory you have" said Evy, slightly amused.
"Uh huh…" Muttered Rick, struggling to remember when his wife told him that.
"So what does the letter say?" Questioned Evy, not that there was any point, as she snatched the letter out his hands and leafed through it.
"Oh! Lovely he's coming to stay…"
"Yes and…!"
"And we should get the guest bedroom ready, maybe I'll ask the maid tomorrow when she comes to clean, or…"
"Or, maybe we…"
"Maybe I should do it myself, I should do some more work round here"
"Hon, you're always working, but wait, that's beside the point!"
Evy carried on half talking to her self as she walked round the large bedroom trying to find some decent clothes for the day.
"Yes, I think she should be a good friend for Alex, after all, he's a bit lonely from time to time…"
"Hardly Evy, Him and Elizabeth may fight but he's always with her and furthermore..!"
Evy butted in again
"Furthermore! Elizabeth is becoming a young lady, the last thing she needs is a little brother hanging round her, she's 14 and now with everything at Alex's school…"
Rick suddenly perked up and listened to what his wife was on about.
"Wait! What? What's going on at his school?"
Evy rolled her eyes.
"You know!"
"Erm, Evelyn, no I don't know!"
"Yes you do, ever since he tried telling them 'bout what happened with Imhotep, they think he's either mad, or a liar, or just really desperate!"
"Evy! Why didn't you tell me?"
Evy stopped and turned round and looked at her husband in utter amazement.
"Excuse me! I did!"
"You did? When?"
"When it started!"
"No you didn't!"
"Erm, Rick, YES I DID! I think I'd remember something like that!"
"But…But! I don't remember! Good lord, I have a terrible memory!"
Evy couldn't help laughing at her husbands face!
"I just think you don't listen to me!" She laughed, walking away from her gaping husband.
"Good grief" she muttered as she disappeared downstairs.
Rick stood there amazed, he sat down.
"Good God Evy, I've taken in more information in the last 5 minutes than in the last 3 years! Evy? Evy…...Evy?"
Downstairs Evy smiled at her daughter.
"Good morning Elizabeth!"
Elizabeth sighed
"If you say so"
Evy looked at her daughter, slightly worried.
"Erm, yes, Well, guess what!"
"I have 24 hours to live" sighed Elizabeth
"No!" grinned Evy "Ardeth Bays daughters visiting us, you know! Anushkah!"
"Joy" muttered Elizabeth
