Chapter 2: Looking for a Good Time
Madelyn had spent the last three years working hard in Cario because she had no idea what she was going to do to get back to America. She hadn't really kept in touch with Rick, but she had an odd feeling that Rick was in trouble. She pulled her light brown hair into a braid and went out of the place that she was working at. She walked down the stairs and went into the town. She went towards the jail and saw someone that she knew real well sitting in the jail cell. Madelyn shook her head. "Rick what did you do?"
"Lynn I was just looking for a good time."
Madelyn shook her head. "A good time Rick? Ugh I can't believe it. You and wanting to have a good time. You could have just asked me." She said crossing her arms. "You are going to make it a lot more harder then what it should be. Ugh you better hope I can get your sorry ass out of this jail cell."
"But he's just a filthy criminal?" Evelyn said looking at her brother.
"Way to go, Evy."
Rick looks at the two arrivals.
"So, who's the broad?"
Madelyn shook her head. "Rick." She said in a scolding voice.
"Broad?!" Evelyn said.
"She's my sister, actually." Jonathan said.
"Yeah? Well,… I'm sure she's not a total loss."
"RICK!" Yelled Madelyn.
"I'll be back in a moment." Said the Warden.
"Oh great." Said Madelyn.
"I tremble with anticipation." Rick said sarcastically.
Evelyn came up to him. "We uh… found… your puzzle box, and we've come to ask you about it."
"No." Rick said.
"No?"
"No… you came to ask him about Hamunaptra." Madelyn said.
Evy looked at Madelyn. "How do you know the box pertains to Hamunaptra?"
"Because we found it at. We were there." Said Rick looking at Madelyn.
"How do we know that's not a load of pig swallow?" Asked Jonathan.
"Hey,…. Don't I know you?" Rick asked getting a closer look at Jonathan
"Um, well, you see…"
Rick punched him.
"You were actually at Hamunaptra?"
"I just decked your brother."
"Yes, well, I know my brother." She said shrugging.
"Yeah Madelyn and I was there."
"You swear?"
"We swear every damn day." Said Madelyn.
"No, I mean…"
"I know what you mean. We were there, alright. Seti's place. The City of the Dead." Rick said.
"What did you find? What did you see?"
Madelyn shook her head. "We found sand. We saw death."
Evelyn leaned forward. "Could you tell me how to get there? The exact location?"
"Want to know?"
Evelyn leans even more closer. "Yes."
"Really want to know?"
She leans right up against the bars. "Yes."
Rick kisses her right on the lips. "Then get me the hell outta here."
Madelyn shook her head and watched them take him away.
"Where are they taking him to?"
"My guess is they are taking him to be hanged this time." Said Madelyn.
"Hanged?"
"He had a good time." Said Madelyn shaking her head. "I am going to get him out of jail before he is hanged."
"What are you crazy?" asked Evie.
"Crazy I suppose I am, but when you have grown up with Rick in your life for twenty some years you learn that the man like him can be your own brother. He is like a brother to me and I am not going to allow him to be hanged for trying to have a good time." Said Madelyn walking away from them.
-A few hours later-
Madelyn helped Rick into her house. "God Rick I don't know why you do half of this shit that you do. You could have been in a lot of trouble you do know that right?"
"I know, but Hamunaptra will be a lot of trouble. That woman is going to get us killed."
Madelyn nodded her head. "I know this." She said shaking her head. "I kind of wish you didn't agree to this. I mean we could end up dead this time."
"I know this, but she doesn't."
Madelyn rolled her eyes. "Just great Rick. This is more trouble then what it is really worth and I hope you know that."
"Yes, now will you help me?"
"Yes."
