It was currently a lovely day in Cairo, well as lovely as it could be considering I am walking through a prison to visit my brother, who once again has gotten himself locked up. He is supposed to be the older one, the mature one but no that responsibility goes to me. When the warden led me to the cell my brother was at I was surprised to see two people there, a man and a women. "Excuse me." I said politely and I woman moved aside. "Richard, what did you do this time?" I asked quietly looking at the ground.

"The warden told us that he said he was just looking for a good time." The woman answered and I looked at Rick. "Thank you." I told the woman and turned back to my brother. "Andy it wasn't like that, I swear." He said looking at me, his eyes pleading. He was my big brother and would do anything to protect me, he has always looked out for me but he always put himself into danger. The one thing he told me would frighten him the most is that if I was ashamed of him, or if I was hurt. "Rick they won't let me get you out of here, I already tried." I said looking at him. "Excuse me, I do not mean to be rude, but who are you?" I finally asked looking at the man and woman. "My name is Evelyn Carnahan, this is my brother Jonathan." She said pointing to her brother who was trying not to look at my brother.

"We found this puzzle box that your brother had and we just came to ask him about it." Evelyn said holding up the box. "No." Rick said sternly. "No." Evelyn responded. "No. You cam to ask me about Hamunaptra." Rick said and I looked at the siblings in shock. "Shh. Shh." Jonathan motioned to Rick. "H-How do you know the box pertains to Hamunaptra?" Evelyn asked and Rick became a smartass once again. "Because that's where I was when I found it. I was there." he said like he was talking to a child.

"But how do we know that that's not a load of pig wallow?" Jonathan asked moving closer to my brother. "Do I know you?" Rick asked looking at him closely. "No, no. I've just got one of those faces." Jonathan said with a panicked look on his face. I glanced at Evelyn and she just glared at her brother. Suddenly Rick's eyes widened and he punched Jonathan through the bars. "Rick!" I exclaimed when he was being hit by the guards. "What did Jonathan do to make my brother punch him?" I asked Evelyn who just sighed.

"My brother pick-pocketed him at the local casbah, I had no idea where he got it because he had lied to me at first." Evelyn said and I nodded and just looked at Rick who was looking at Evelyn. Evelyn stepped over her brother's body on the ground and got closer to Rick. "You were actually at Hamunaptra?" Evelyn questioned. "Yeah, I was there." Rick said smiling. Uh oh this isn't going to be a good thing. "You swear." Evelyn said seriously, glaring at him. "Every damn day." Rick said being a smartass once again. "No, I didn't mean that--." Evelyn started saying before she was cut off by my brother. "I know. I was there. Seti's place. City of the Dead." Rick said waving his hands around like it was a stupid statement. Evelyn started getting excited I could tell.

"C-could you tell me how to get there?" Evelyn asked and I frowned, this is going to be dangerous I could just tell by the look in Rick's eye. "I mean the exact location?" Evelyn whispered behind her hat as the warden was getting closer to the cell. "You want to know?" My brother asked. "W-Well, yes." Evelyn said stuttering some more. "Do you really want to know?" Asked my brother again and I looked at him suspiciously. "Yes." Evelyn strongly this time. Rick motioned her forward with his finger, which she kept moving towards him.

He suddenly grabbed her face then kissed her. "RICK!" I yelled looking at Evelyn. "Then get me the hell out of here!" Rick said while he punched a guard who had tried to hit him. Evelyn just looked shocked. "Do it, lady!" Rick said before he got pulled away by guards. "Where are they taking him?" Evelyn and I asked the warden at the same time. "To be hanged. Apparently he had a very good time." The warden said watching the guards drag him away. I gasped and tears started rolling down my cheeks.

"No please, you can't do that, my brother is a good man no matter if he seems to not act like one. Please!" I begged the warden and he just looked at me and walked away. "Don't worry, I'll take care of this somehow." Evelyn said and she put her hand on my shoulder and I nodded. "Jonathan, please take Andrea somewhere I don't think she can handle seeing this." Evelyn said and usually I would get angry if someone thought what was best for me but she was right. Jonathan slowly grabbed my hand and we walked out of the prison grounds.

After what seemed like days, in reality it was only an hour or two, I saw Evelyn come out, my brother came out right after her. I ran to him and jumped into his arms. "Rick, I'm so glad you're okay, please don't ever end up in jail again." I begged him and he just nodded and hugged me back. I let go of him and then went to Evelyn. "Thank you Evelyn for saving my brother's life." I said quietly and hugged her. "Please call me Evy." she said and I nodded. "Only if you call me Andy." I said and she nodded.


The next day I had found out from Evy that my brother is showing her and Jonathan the way to Hamunaptra and Evy invited me along. Even though we have only known each other a day, Evy and I seem to be really good friends. She said she needed another girl in the group and I agreed to go. I was walking towards Evy and I laughed as she talked about my brother, who currently didn't know I was going on this trip. "Do you really think he'll show up?" Evy asked Jonathan. "Yes, undoubtedly, knowing my luck. He may be a cowboy, but I know the breed. His word is his word." Jonathan responded and I walked up to them. "He's right Evy, my brother will show up, he owes you his life." I said smiling when they both jump at my voice.

"Andy, you sure do know how to scare people." Jonathan said and I just laughed. "Well, personally I think he's filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel. I don't like him one bit." Evy said and I had to laugh.

"Anyone I know?" my brother asked as he came up behind Evy and Jonathan, who jumped again and mumbled something that had my name and Rick's in the sentence. Evy's reaction to seeing my brother all clean and shaven was priceless, she was stunned to say the least. "Oh! Um, hello." She said looking embarrassed. "Smashing day for the start of an adventure, eh, O'Connell?" Jonathan asked patting his hand on Rick's shoulder. "Yeah. Yeah, smashing." Rick said as he checked his chest pocket to make sure his wallet was still there.

"Oh, no, no, I'd never steal from a partner…partner." Jonathan said smiling. They both laughed. "That reminds me. No hard feelings about the--." Rick said making a punching motion. I noticed that Evy hadn't stopped staring at him. I walked up to her and smiled. "Staring is quite rude." I said laughing and she glared at me. I ignored what Jonathan said because Evy said something to my brother and that turned his attention over our way.

"Mr. O'Connell. Can you look me in the eye and guarantee me that this isn't some kind of a flimflam? Because if it is, I am warning you--" Evy started before getting cut off. "You're warning me? Lady, let me put it this way: My whole damn garrison believed in this so much that without orders, they marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt to find that city. When we got there all we found…was sand and blood. Let me get your bags." He said sounding like what he said was nothing. "By the way, Andy what are you doing here?" He asked as he looked at me. "I am going on this adventure too Rick, I was invited by Evy and I planned on going either way. I am not going to lose my big brother again." I said determinedly.

"It is too dangerous for you to go there too." he said but I just glared at him. He sighed. "Fine, but you will stay next to me at all times." he said before grabbing the bags and loading them onto the boat. "How old are you?" Evy asked and I looked at her. "Twenty-six." I said and glared at my brother. "Rick is six years older then me, so he thinks he can tell my what to do." I said laughing along with Evy. No one can tell me what to do. "Yes. Yes, you're right, filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel, nothing to like there at all." Jonathan said mocking her and I laughed when she gave him a smile.

"Bright good morning to all." I heard before I saw the prison warden walk up to us. "Oh, no. What are you doing here?" Evy asked angrily. "I'm here to protect my investment, thank you very much." the warden replied as we walked up the bridge and onto the boat. Evy, Jonathan and I all looked at each other and sighed. It was a very boring boat ride, to begin with. Evy and I were sitting at a table, she was reading a book and I was looking out towards the view. Suddenly something landed on the table and Evy gasped. "Sorry. Didn't mean to scare ya." Rick said with a sheepish look on his face. I laughed at what Evy said next. "The only think that scares me, Mr. O'Connell, are your manners." She said looking at him. I saw Rick suck in air.

"Still angry about that kiss, huh?" He asked smiling. "Well, if you call that a kiss." Was the reply he got and I smiled, when I saw Rick's face. He was frowning as his pride was damaged a little as was his ego. Rick quickly opened up his weapon bag and Evy gasped at how many weapons there were and slowly fingered a few of them. I just rolled my eyes. "Um, did I miss something? Are we--Are we going into battle?" Evy asked my brother unsure. "Lady, there's something out there. Something underneath that sand." Rick said and I quietly walked away. They liked each other and now they just had to realize it. I walked back to my room, changed and fell into a quick sleep.


My nice slumber did not last long though as I was woken up to yelling and the smell of smoke in my room. I quickly got up and grabbed my swords, which Rick taught me how to use before he joined the army, and ran out of the room. I saw Rick leading Evy down the hall. "Andy come on, the ships being attacked." Rick said grabbing my hand. He stopped and looked over the rail. "Can you swim?" He asked Evy. "Of coarse I can swim, if the occasion calls for it." Evy said seemingly offended.

"Trust me, it calls for it." Rick said and threw Evy into the river. Then he picked me up and threw me into the river as well. I also realized I had lost my pendant on the ship as well. My pendant is something that I have always worn. (Rick is technically my half brother. His mom died and our father got together with an Egyptian woman, who told him nothing of her past. All I know is that she died in childbirth and made dad give me her pendant that she always wore. See I don't look like my brother, I am a little darker than he is, my hair is dark brown. My eyes however are blue like his. It is a very weird combination, I know but I couldn't really choose what I looked like.)

I noticed that Evy was swimming next to me, and I realized that it was also a lot farther to the shore than I had originally thought. When we finally made it to shore, I wasn't a very happy person and neither was Evy. "We've lost everything. All of our tools, all the equipment! All my clothes!" Evy yelled as we walked out of the water. I noticed that Rick still had his weapon bag though. "O'Connell. Hey! O'Connell." I heard someone say from across the river and we all turned to look at the person. It was Rick's old friend Beni. "It looks to me like I've got all the horses!" He yelled smiling smugly. "Hey, Beni! It looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the river!" Rick yelled mockingly. Beni looked around before cursing in a different language and kicking the water around like a little kid.

Luckily we eventually found a city that was willing to help us. There were these ladies that helped Evy and I and gave us clothes to wear. Needless to say we were very thankful. Evy had a black outfit that was loose and a gauzy material. I had the exact same one, but mine was red. We had pieces of fabric on our heads like a veil and a scarf around our mouth. These outfits were very comfortable to say the least.

When we went outside to rejoin the boys, I saw Rick stop and stare at Evy. "Awfully." he said and I wondered what the conversation was about.

We had to ride camels all the rest of the way, which I didn't really mind. I heard Jonathan complaining about them but Evy was stating her opinion. The warden was singing and I glared at him. I didn't like this man at all. Soon it was night and Rick and I were the only ones awake. Besides Jonathan when he woke up and hit the warden because of his snoring. Evy was falling asleep on Rick's shoulder and I smiled as he told the camel to be quiet. I looked up at the mountains when I heard a noise and saw a group of men on the edge of it.

They were all wearing black and sitting on horses, I could tell their view was trained on us. "Andy stay closer to me." Rick said quietly when he saw the men too. I didn't argue, I just went and brought my camel next to his. We rode all through the night and I didn't fall asleep once. For some reason, I couldn't get those men on the ledge out of my head.


The next morning we saw Beni, and the group that he led. "Good morning." my friend he said happily to Rick. I'm guessing it was because he was able to find his way there. Rick, Evy. Jonathan, the warden and I all stopped our camels and turned them to where we were looking out towards the desert. "What the hell we doin'?" One of the of the American's asked Beni. I think his name was Daniels, well his last name at least. "Patience, my good barat'm. Patience." Beni said reassuringly.

"Remember our bet, O'Connell. First one to the city, 500 cash bucks." Henderson said chewing on something. Rick just shook his head. "A hundred of them bucks is yours, if you help us win that bet." Daniels added on, and looked at Beni. "Oh, my pleasure." Beni said and I looked at Rick as did Beni. "Hey O'Connell! Nice Camel." Beni said laughing. All Rick did was smile and pat his camel on the head. "Get ready for it." Rick said looking out in front of him. "For what?" Evy asked confused, looking at my brother. "We're about to be shown the way." Rick stated and I just smiled.

Suddenly, the sun started rising and a city appeared, but the way it appeared made it look like a mirage. "Will ya look at that." Henderson said amazed. "Can you believe it?" Daniels said. "Hamunaptra." Burns stated smiling. "Here we go again." said Rick like he was bored by this. As soon as the city was completely in view, everyone took off running for the city. Well except me, I was fine taking my time getting there. Eventually, I heard yelling from Jonathan that sounded like, "Go Evy! Go." , and I smiled guessing that we won the race. I made it into the city and went to where my brother and group was located.

'This is going to be an interesting adventure' I thought.
