Third Person P.O.V
As the moon shined upon the Nile river, three boats full of men cloaked in black glided towards the Passenger Barge.
Kat's P.O.V
I was walking around the boat, looking for something to do. Evie and I were sharing a room as Jonathan got his own. Speaking of Jonathan, he was sitting down to a poker game. Meanwhile Evie was reading a book near where the animals were at.
I sighed, as I went to lean on the railings. "Sit down O'Connell, we could use another player." Jonathan says as he looks at his cards. O'Connell was carrying an awfully big sack with him. "I only gamble with my life, never my money." O'Connell said. "Never? What if I were to wager five hundred dollars says we get to Hamunaptra before you?" One of the Americans say cockily. I wonder how they know that? I stare Jonathan. That's how... O'Connell asked the same thing and the Americans pointed to Jonathan. "You're on." O'Connell says as he looks to the American who made the bet. This is where I butted in. "Rick, why are you so confidant?" I ask. "What makes them?" He retorted. "...Touchè..." I smirked. "Seriously, what makes you so confidant?"Rick asked. One of them spits chewing tobacco, and wrinkle my nose. "We got us a man who's already been there."
My jaw dropped and Rick looked perplexed. "Oh, what a coincidence-" My brother began, before i promptly slapped him in the back of the head. "Jonathan, I thought you, Evie and I thought we agreed of no more gambling." I grumbled to him. I just slapped him to shut him up. Although he swiftly covers it up. "-whose play is it? I thought I just, um..." I roll my eyes. Jonathan is such a gambler...
I leave to go sit next to Evie as she's reading a book. "What's up buttercup?" I ask. Evie sighs and puts down her book. "You're bored aren't you?" She replies. I shrug. We were startled when Rick suddenly plopped his sack onto the table. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya." He apologized. Evie and I both rolled our eyes. "The only thing that scare me, Mr. O'Connell, are your and my sister's manors." Evie replied. "Oi! I'm really not that bad!" I protest. She smirks at me and I stick out my tongue.
"Still angry about that kiss, huh?" Rick asked. "If you call that a kiss." Evie retorted. "Hey! You never told me about that!" I pouted. Rick sudden unravels his sack. Evie ignored me and asked, "Did I miss something? Are we going into battle?" "Lady there is something out there. Something underneath that sand." Rick replied.
I suddenly had a vision of a sarcophagus being buried I shook my head to clear away the image. Rick was now checking his pistols knives and dynamite "Yes, I'm hoping, *I cough*, I mean we are hoping to find a certain artifact, a book actually." Evie told Rick. "Our brother thinks there's treasure. What do you think is out there?" I continued. "
in a word evil. The Bedouin and the Tuareg believed Hamunaptra was cursed." Rick said as he glanced at us. Evie then gave him a grin. "I don't believe in fairy tales and hokum, Mister O'Connell, but I do believe that one of the most famous books in history is buried out there, The Book Of Amun-Ra. It contains within it all the secret incantations of the Old Kingdom. It's what first interested me in Egypt as a child. It's why I came here, sort of a life's pursuit." She said.
"The fact that it's made of pure gold makes no never-mind to you?" Rick asked. "Yep!" I said popping the 'p'. "You know your history Mr. O'Connell!" Evie said surprised "I know my treasure." Rick retorted then click his shotgun. I don't know much about guns, so sue me. "Hey Evie, I'm going to retire for the night." I told her as I got up.
Third Person P.O.V
Evie watched as her younger sister left. "Um.. By the way, why did you kiss me?" She asked timidly. "I was about to be hanged. It seemed like a good idea at the time." He replied casually Evie's eyes widen in anger, she slams her book and stomps off. "What?...Wha'd I say?" He said a bit perplexed. He was actually starting to like her.
Rick hears snickering from behind some crates, and he sees a shadow of a very familiar person. He suddenly picks this person up by his collar and shoves him against the crates. "Why isn't my little buddy Beni. I think I'll kill you. Give me one reason I shouldn't." Rick says as he holds a pistol against Beni's head. Beni whimpers and says, "Think of my children!" "You don't have any children!" (A/N: One of the best lines ever! XD) "Some day I might!" Beni exclaimed as he tried to think of a way out of this situation. "Shut up! So you're the one leading the Americans. I should have known. So what's the scam? You lead 'em out to the middle of the dessert and leave them to rot!" Rick almost snarls.
"Unfortunately no. These Americans are smart," Beni scowls, "they pay me half now, half when I get them back to Cairo. So I must go all the way." Rick removes the pistol much to Beni's relief. "You never believed in Hamunaptra, O'Connell. Why are you going back?" Beni questioned. "See that girl there?" Rick said looking at Evie. Evie was currently petting the camels. "She saved my neck." Evie spotted Rick and walked off. "You always did have more balls than brains, O'Connell." Beni taunted, then let out a chuckle as Rick joined in. Then Rick grabbed Beni again, and chucked him overboard. Rick, while wrapping up his weapons, noticed a number of wet footprints. He glanced back Beni in the river, then immediately became alert.
Kat's P.O.V
I was already in my nightgown, and was brushing my curly hair when Evie arrived. She was fuming. "What happened?" I asked. "O'Connell was being his usual self." She replied. "Ah, so he was being an arrogant jerk?" I asked. "Yes!" She said as I giggled. "You like him!" I explained in a sing-song voice. "Shut up and go to bed!" She retorted. I pouted. "Whatever." I grabbed a book and started to read.
Evie had changed out of her cloths into a white nightgown, and was also reading a book out loud. I saw she wasn't concentrating, seeing as she doesn't read out loud, and she only does that when she's thinking of something else. Evie tried to put clothes on the hook on the door but missed. "Oh for heaven sake's! It wasn't even a good kiss!" She exclaims. I roll my eyes and pick up the clothes. "If it wasn't that good of a kiss then why are you thinking of it?" I ask. "Rich coming from a girl who has never been kissed." "S-Shut up!" I sputtered as I blushed. She shut her book and walked into the bathroom to brush her hair.
While brushing her hair, Evie knocks down her book, from where she placed it on the sink. As she bends down to pick her book up I see the man in black. "Evie! Watch out!" I shriek. The man grabbed Evie by her neck, and held a hook to her cheek. "Move and she dies!" The man said in an Arabic accent. "Now where is the map?" He asked Evie. She sputtered and nodded towards the table. "There!" The map was beside a candle and Evie's satchel with all her tools. "And where is the Key?" He asked again. "T-Th-The Key? What Key?" Evie replied. "We don't have any bloody Key!" I yelled out.
Suddenly I heard the door breaking, and the shout of Evie's name. Rick came bursting in with his guns out. I quickly run behind him. The man turns Evie around to use as a human shield. Rick points his pistols at them."Let her go, you Bastard!" I snarled at him. The candle flickers and the window is burst open by another man in black. Thankfully Rick shoots him. Unfortunately Rick also shot the lamp, causing it to fall on the love-seat, setting it alight. "Nice one, O'Connell!" I say sarcastically.
Meanwhile Evie had shoved the candle in the first man in black's eye. Then I ran and grabbed Evie's hand. "Let's go!" I all but growl, just as a third man in black came into the window. Rick covered us as we ran towards the hallway. As I started to run down the hallway, Evie suddenly stopped causing me to fall forward. "The map! The Map! I forgot the map!" Evie panicked. Rick grabbed Evie before she could go back into the room. "Relax. I'm the map. It's all up here." Rick said pointing to his head. "Oh, that's comforting!" Both Evie and I exclaim as Rick pulled Evie along and I followed.
Third Person P.O.V
The first man in black stumbled around the room clutching his face in pain. He kept moaning in pain. Just as he was to exit the room, he turned around and looked down, spotting the Key. "The Key!" He bent down to retrieve it, then Jonathan comes running in looking for both his sisters. Therefore pushing the man in black onto the blazing love-seat.
Jonathan then went to pick up the artifact, when the hook-man grabs it and tries to slash at Jonathan. He runs out of the room, hook-man following, somewhat.
Meanwhile on the main part of the boat, it was utter chaos. People were running, freeing the horses, and jumping into the river. While the men in black were setting fire to everything.
Kat's P.O.V
We run out and Rick shoves his sack onto Evie, who in turn passes it to me. "Thanks sis..." I mutter. Rick checks his ammo, and then we were being shot at by more men in black. The bullets start to come through the wall. Evie pulls Rick out of one that was about to hit him in the head. Rich refills his pistols and starts to return fire. He shoots one guy that was on the landing before two more men start to fire at us. Rick kills them, and then turns to us. "Can you swim?!" He asks the both of us. "Of course I can swim, if the occasion calls for it!" Evie exclaims at the same time I yell out, "Yeah! Do we look bloody daft?!"
Rick picks up Evie and says, "Trust me the occasion calls for it!" Then he turns to me. "No way pretty boy. I'm a big girl and jump myself!" I said then to prove the point I swung my side over. I notice that another man in black jumps over and tackles Rick. I just swim over to Evie. "You okay?!" I asked. "Do I look okay?!" She retorts. Then I see Rick jump over the side of the boat. Then the Warden jumped also. I groaned. I simply do not like that guy!"Do you see Jonathan anywhere?" I ask looking around. I look back at the boat and see him fall. I face-palm.
Then we swim to shore. "We've lost everything! All of the tools the equipment! Our clothes!" Evie complains. Across the river, someone shouts to Rick. "O'Connell! Hey O'Connell!" We all turn around to look at him. "It looks to me like I've got all the horses!" He shouts triumphant. "Hey Beni, looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the River!" Rick shouts back. The man Beni looks around, curses, and kicks the water.
