PROLOGUE
Evelyn sat quietly in front of
the fireplace in her home, brushing up her knowledge of the Old Kingdom
of Ancient Philosophy after the British Museum asked her to do a thesis
on it. It had been five years after Hamunaptra and her life was going so
well, she still woke up every morning thinking it had all been a long dream...
She was married to a handsome, strong man who did nothing but love her
and would do anything to protect her and a son who was growing more intelligent
and stronger everyday... her life was perfect at that moment...
Footsteps could
be heard coming down the stairwell... it was Rick... he ran one of his
hands through his hair and crept up behind Evelyn, gently placing his hands
on her should and bending over and kissing her forehead.
"Working Late again..." he asked
softly as she turned and faced him, kissing him passionately
"You know me..." she smiled..."The
museum wants this thesis done for their archives and as a test I presume..."
Rick walked around and sat next
to her, placing one arm around her shoulder, gazing upon the fire place...
"Is Alex asleep?" she asked
"Yeah... went out like a log...
he's been running around all day with Jonathan"
"...That is definitely tiring..."
she joked as she put her book down and nestled herself in Rick's arms,
sighing peacefully and contentedly. They sat there, happy in each other's
arms silently...
Suddenly the phone rang wildly...
.. "Ugh... Who could be ringing
at this hour of the night?" Evelyn said annoyed and frustrated
Rick rolled his eyes "I'll get
it..." he said as he got unwillingly up from the couch and went to the
phone...
"Hello... this better be bloody
important... oh... yeah... I'll just get her for you..." Rick said to the
mysterious voice on the phone. He turned to Evelyn... "It's for you honey"
She got up from the couch and
walked over to the phone "Who is it?"
"He didn't say...all he wanted
was to talk to you" Rick replied confused as Evelyn picked up the phone
"Hello" she said as a deep male
voice spoke back
"Evelyn O'Connell... This is Kiwastru
from the Cairo Museum" he said
"Uh... hello...what can I do for
you?" she asked, confused as to who this person was as she had never heard
of a Kiwastru at the museum.
"I need for you to come to Egypt
as soon as possible and take a look at something of great importance..."
he said with anxiety in his voice
"Umm... I'm sorry but I have commitments
to the British Museum I must fulfill before I can go back to Egypt" she
said reluctantly
"It was the British Museum that
recommended you to me... call them if you wish... but they did give me
your name as the preferred Archeologist for this assignment"
Evelyn stood holding the phone
and thinking about this whole situation... she really wanted to go... but
something was not right...
"What is it that you want me to
do exactly, sir?" she asked wanting to clear matters up
"I'm afraid all I can tell you
is that this artifact is made in something not found in Egypt... but it
was found underneath a statue of Set in a recently discovered temple in
the Upper Kingdom"
Evelyn was immediately drawn to
what this man was describing to her... she just had to go to Egypt... and
Rick could see that sparkle in her eye that occurred whenever she was going
on to an expedition... he rubbed his face with his hand, rolled his eyes
and whispered quietly to himself "Here we go again" .....
"Can you give me a moment, Sir...
to discuss this with my husband" Evelyn asked looking at Rick
"Of course" the man replied
Evelyn didn't have to say a word,
Rick was already saying she could go... he always supported her, even though
it meant putting both of their lives on the line again...
"Ok... we will be there as soon
as possible, sir... Thank you"... She replied to the man on the phone
"No... Thank you... Mrs. O'Connell"
he said as he hung up the phone.
Evelyn hung up the phone and looked
at her husband. Rick put his arms around her and held her close.
"Looks like we're off to Egypt
again..." he smiled
"...Yep... off to Egypt again...
just you and me..." she smiled with a seductive smile upon her.
"...What about Alex?" he asked
"A week vacation, just the two
of us....under the sunsets of Egypt... won't hurt..."
"... I like how you think... Mrs.
O'Connell" he said as he leaned in and kissed her passionately... picking
her up and carrying her upstairs...."So when do we leave?"
"Whenever we're ready... i suppose"
he carried her into the bedroom
and lay her down on the bed, kissing her... "Well I don't want to
go just yet" he said smiling
Evelyn shook her head "Ooo...
me neither"
******************
MEANWHILE : In Egypt
Kiwastru was writing notes down
in his lob book.... the artifact which he was speaking about to Evelyn
was by his side...
"Did the O'Connell's take the bait?"
A deep voice asked, coming from an unkown area in the room
Kiwastru looked around the room
frightened for a moment... and then calmed down a little
"Yes....they did... the plan is
going according to plan, my lord" He replied
"Good...Is everything else in
place?"
"Yes... as you ordered.... My
Lord... may I ask a question?" he asked nervously
"Yes..."
"Do you think the O'Connell woman
will do what you want her to?"
"Yes I do... otherwise I would
not have persuaded you or the British museum to summon her... she is more
than what she seems to be and so is her husband"...he replied with absolute
bluntness in his voice... "... When they arrive... I will return..."
"Yes...yes...my Lord" he said
as the voice in the distance disappeared into the wind of the night...
Kiwastru gulped, wiped the sweat
from his forehead and continued his work...
***************
O'Connell Mansion - Next Day
Rick and Evelyn were all packed
and ready to go... the British Museum had already organised for a boat
trip that afternoon, to Egypt... It was quick organisation for both the
O'Connells and the British Museum....
"Mom... Where are you off to?"
Alex asked with an immense curiosity as Jonathon stood behind him and Rick
was packing the car.
"Your father and I are off to
do something for the British Museum, honey" Evelyn said, kneeling down
and hugging her son
"When will I be able to come with
you?" he asked impatiently
"Next time...sweetheart... I promise"
she said as she looked at her son "Now you be a good boy for your uncle
Jonathon...ok"
"Yes... Mom" he replied as Evelyn
stood up and looked at Jonathon, giving him a hug also
"We will only be gone for a week,
but we will let you know if we get held up... and Jonathon... while you
looking after Alex, no gambling, drinking etc...ok", she said looking at
her brother trying to enforce the safety of her son while they were gone.
"You can count on me ol' mom"
Jonathon replied
Rick entered the room after packing
the car with their luggage...he gave Alex a hug
"You be a good boy and I'll bring
you back something..." he said
"Bye...Daddy" Alex replied...
Rick looked a Jonathon "Bye Jonathon.."
"Bye Rick"
Rick grabbed Evelyn, kissing her
whilst Jonathon and Alex looked away in disgust.
"C'mon we better get going, that
boat's not going to wait for us" Rick said
They waved goodbye, hopped in their
car and drove to the sea port where they would board to boat heading for
Egypt. It would take one day for them to reach Giza Port and when they
do...something more sinister than Evelyn realises is nearing the two's
destiny.....

more... or should I cease at this)
