It was Sunday, Most of nurses and doctors were off. Evelyn waited until O'Connell was busy to sneak to the East side of the hospital – more specifically to the children's unit. There, she met Alex.

- Alex! – She hugged him – are you fine?

He nodded his head. Alex didn't know how fine felt like. He looked tired and he had dark circles around his eyes.

- I need your help.

- I can't. Dr. Thorn prohibited me from speak to you because you're not my mom and you're ill. – Alex said sadly.

- He won't know you met me, I swear. I just need a favor, please.

Evelyn whispered a plan on Alex's ear. He agreed to help. He would do anything to stay near Evelyn. She was the nicest person in there, although she was crazy.


Alex looked for Doctor Thorn.

- Dr. Thorn, I need your help, please! – Alex called him.

Alex started to tell Dr. Thorn a crazy and long dream he had last night, he also pointed the men Ms. Morrigan used to chat with for hours while Evelyn got inside his office and searched for something. Most of his file cabinets were empty. She found a folder with her name on it, but all the pages inside were blank. One drawer was locked. So was a long and narrow closet on the office's corner. The key should be there somewhere. She started to search…

- Carnahan! – Ms. Morrigan has entered the office – What are you doing here?

- Uh… Shopping! I'm going to make a special dinner tonight for Rick, Alex, and John...

Morrigan rolled her eyes and took Evelyn back. On the way to her room, Evelyn breathed relieved. Morrigan didn't suspect anything. Evelyn met Alex on the corridor.

- Sorry. It didn't work. – Evelyn told him, upset.

- No problem. – Alex kissed her cheek and put something discreetly on Evelyn's pocket as he hugged her. It was a key he took from Dr. Thorn.


O'Connell went to meet Evelyn. She was walking from one side to another on her padded cell.

- So, you were exploring offices uh? – O'Connell told her, smiling.

- Rick! – Evelyn said and rushed to hug him. He held her arms softly only to stop her hug.

- I'm sorry, but you must call me Doctor. – He said although he loved the word on her lips.

- You need to remember! I think they've changed our lives somehow! - Evelyn told him, nervous.

- What? – O'Connell felt confused, That was a new delusion.

- Rick… don't you remember? Hamunaptra? When you proposed me, our wedding? – Evelyn approached him and held his face – don't you love me anymore?

She leaned to kiss him but before their lips could meet Dr. Thorn entered the room.

- What do you think you're doing? – Thorn asked.

O'Connell let go of Evelyn. The two doctors left the room.

- Just because she's in love with you, it doesn't mean you can take advantage of her. – Thorn was full of disapproving.

- No, I wasn't doing anything besides talking… – O'Connell tried to explain himself.

- You were too close for a conversation. – Thorn told him – Be careful Mr. O'Connell, I won't tolerate abuses on this hospital. If I see you two "talking" again, I won't hesitate to inform against you.

Thorn left, glaring at him. O'Connell pressed his eyes. How could he let that happen? He should control himself, no matter how devilish charmingly Ms. Carnahan could be.


In the evening, Evelyn got inside Dr. Thorn's office again and opened the locked drawer. There she found an ancient scriber's pen with a long stem and a flower design carved in it. The flower had seven petals and it looked like a big star under a bow. That was the emblem of the Goddess Seshat - The goddess of writing and the pharaoh's scribe. Why would Dr. Thorn keep that simple reed pen locked? Maybe it wasn't so simple… Alex got inside the office.

- So, Did you find something nice? – Alex said, smiling to her.

- Nothing besides an ancient pen. – Evelyn told him.

- May I see it? – Alex asked.

- Sure. – Evelyn handed him the pen.

When Alex held it, the pen glowed and he fainted.

- Alex! – Evelyn rushed to help him.

Alex got up and looked at her amazed.

- Mom! You're really my mom! Dr. Thorn was wrong and you were right! He's Imhotep! – Alex said with excitement and hugged her.

Evelyn felt glad. She has never been crazy. She was sure of that now.

Dr. Thorn and Morrigan saw the office's door was open and got inside. They saw Evelyn with Alex holding the Seshat's pen. Evelyn glared at them with hate on her eyes.

- You bastards! – She said with hate, not worrying about Alex being exposed to the bad language. – You've distorted everything using this!

- Not only this. There's also a Ptah's ostracon. It's on the closet on your left. – Imhotep told her. Pretending wasn't working anyway.

Morrigan called a male nurse. When he entered, she plunged a thin scalpel on his neck. Her hand was drenched in blood as he fell down in agony and made a small pool of blood on the floor.

Evelyn closed Alex's eyes and hugged him, saving her son from watching the violent scene. Some moments after, the victim stopped to breath.

- Why have you killed him? – Evelyn asked.

- I didn't kill him. – Anck su namun cleaned her bloody hand on Evelyn's hand and face - You did. You're dangerous.

Evelyn tried to clean the blood in fear.

- That's a lie! – Alex screamed.

- Yes. But nobody will believe you. You're nuts. – Anck su namun told him as Imhotep gave her a tissue.

- We're just helping you with your complications. – Imhotep completed also smiling.

- Dear God... – Evelyn said on dismay.

- I hate to twist your faith, but God isn't on your side this time. – Anck su namun told her.

- – Help! Bring stretchers! – Imhotep shouted at the office's door. Anck su namun rendered dramatic as Imhotep pretended he was stanching the wound of the poor dying nurse on the floor.

Several people came inside. The desperate nurse Morrigan told them Evelyn killed a man with the pen. They grabbed Evelyn and tough she screamed it wasn't true, they took Alex from her, put her on a straitjacket and tied her on a hospital stretcher.

- You liar! My dad is going to kick your ass! – Alex screamed at Imhotep as nurses carried him away.

- You have no dad, boy. – Imhotep told him.


Alex met O'Connell on the corridor. He grabbed his dad's arm, in panic.

- Dad! Dad, please, help mom! – He screamed at him.

- Alex, what's going on?

- They took mom! They're going to hurt her! – Tears were rolling Alex's face.

- Nobody is going to kill nobody, buddy.

- Please, dad! Remember me! Please! – Alex cried.

- I'm not your dad. I'm sorry. – O'Connell told him and Alex was taken.


O'Connell found Evelyn. Dr. Thorn and Morrigan were pushing her on a wheeled stretcher.

- What happened? – He asked.

- She attacked a nurse. – Dr. Thorn answered.

- No. – O'Connell said in dismay.

- Yes, she killed him. I saw everything. – Morrigan told him, upset.

- I'm sorry O'Connell, but… your feelings are keeping you to give her the help she needs. It's time to face the reality. You can't help her, although you want to.

Rick approached Evelyn. She was sedated but still her eyes were open and she could notice what was happening around her.

- Rick… - Evelyn whispered to him. A tear rolled her cheek.

- Everything is going to be alright. – He told her while he caressed her head.

- You were right Dr. Thorn. I'm sorry I…

- Don't worry about that. If you excuse me… - Dr. Thorn had to push Evelyn's stretcher to where O'Connell was.

O'Connell watched Evelyn go. He went to a bathroom. There he washed his hands and his face. He couldn't believe the sweet Ms. Carnahan was a killer... She has called him Rick. How did she know his nickname? On flash, O'Connell was back in Hamunaptra, It was night and Evelyn was drunk.

- I'm going to kiss you, Mr. O'Connell. – Evelyn told as she approached him.

- Call me Rick. – He answered.

- Oh… Rick. – Evelyn smiled and leaned to kiss him.

In another flash, Evelyn was in labor and Rick was holding her hand. Alex was born.

O'Connell was in the hospital's bathroom again. He had remembered the truth. He felt dizzy for a moment and rushed after Alex and Evelyn.


Jonathan was in the hospital. He has lost his wallet and went to search for it in there. On the corridor, Alex saw him. He let go of a nurse and rushed to Jonathan.

- Uncle John! – Alex hugged him – Please help!

- Oh – Jonathan felt awkward – Sorry but …

Jonathan had a vision, he was with Evelyn, Rick, and Alex. Alex was a toddler. Jonathan was teaching him how to say his name.

- Let's go, partner! say Un-cle Jo-na-than – Jonathan said slowly, holding Alex in his arms.

- Un… Don…lan – Alex told him, confused.

- That's difficult Jonathan, your name is very long. – Rick told him.

- Okay then... Let's say "Uncle John" – Jonathan told Alex, at the same level of his face.

- Uncle Don! – Alex smiled to him, and then everyone laughed.

Back in the present, a nurse was trying to take Alex from Jonathan.

- Alex! – Jonathan said, and hugged his nephew – please, let me handle that. I know him. – He told the nurse. She left shaking her head.

- What happened? – Jonathan asked.

- My mom needs help! Come on, uncle Jon! come on! – Alex pulled his suit.

And they rushed after Evelyn.
