The prison

As I got to the prison gate I was really pissed off. I'm pretty sure that when I see Rick he's gonna go deaf when I'm trough with him. I walked in and saw a chubby, very very filthy short man walking toward me.

''Ms. O'Connell, I presume?'' He said. Oh, he's voice's hurting my ears.

''Yes now where is that good-for-nothing brother of mine?'' I asked.

''Right this way,'' he said. When I walked beside him I notice how he was looking at my body. Lusting. Ew. I tried to say something to get his attention to something else than my body.

''Why is he here anyway?'' I asked him when we were at the cell.

''That I did not know but when I heard you were coming I asked that him myself,'' he said.

''And what did he say?'' I asked annoyed

''He said he was just looking for good time.'' He answered

''Yeah that sounds like him,'' I mumbled to myself. Just then door on the back of the cell opened and my brother, although he didn't look like it, came out 'assisted' by two guards. He's brown hair was shaggy, his clothes were worn, he was dirty, smelled like sewer and had couple bruises on his body. Apparently he had a really good time.

''Hey watch it you,'' he said to the guards. ''What is it?'' He asked when he saw the warden.

''I'll leave you alone with him,'' the warden said to me and left. Then Rick noticed me standing there.

''Oh Nikki nice to… see you,'' he chuckled. He was really testing my patience.

''Rick you do realize you're in a prison?'' I asked trying really hard not to shout.

''No really I didn't notice,'' he said sarcastically.

''What did you do?'' My patience was really tested here when I tried to be calm.

''I was just having a good time,'' he said looking all innocent. I gave him the look that told him not to mess with me.

''Some drunk picked my poked and I tried to punch him,'' he said

''Tried?'' I raised my eyebrow. Rick didn't try to punch; Rick punches and hits the target if he feels like it.

''Well I was pretty drunk myself at the time,'' he said sheepishly. Oh brother. Then I started to hear yelling behind me.

''You lied to me,'' I heard a woman to say. I tuned around and saw a young man and a woman.

''I lie to everyone, what makes you so special?'' Said a man next to the woman. She looked like every normal English woman. Pretty dress and big summer hat. Something I would never wear. She was really out of place here.

''I'm your sister,'' said the pretty woman with a brown hair.

''Yes well that makes you more culpable.'' The man said.

''Jonathan you stole it from a drunk in a local bar,'' the woman yelled to the man.

''Picked his pocket actually so I don't think…'' the man named Jonathan tried to explain himself with very little success.

''Jonathan would you stop being so ridiculous. Now what exactly is this man in prison for,'' she said pointing at Rick.

''He said he was just looking for good time,'' the warden answered.

''This is the man you stole it from,'' the woman whispered to Jonathan. Wait what? He stole something from Rick? If Rick remembers him he's gonna get it.

''Yes exactly so why don't we just…'' Jonathan didn't have time to finish when Rick said,

''Who are you? And who's the broad?'' I almost laughed at his lack of manners. Not that I had any more of them.

''Broad?'' The woman tried to say offended but Jonathan started talking.

''Well I'm just a local missionary chad spreading the good word, this is my sister Evy.'' So the woman's name is Evy.

''How do you do?'' She said nervously. Well I guess it's understandable my brother is not in good shape to meet a lady. I'm totally used he being a little shabby shape. But not ever as shabby as now.

''Oh well maybe she's not a total loss,'' Rick said bored. Oh Rick.

''I beg your pardon?'' Evy said really offended. Just then the warden yelled something in Arab to someone behind us and the he said in English to us
''be back in a minute.'' Take your time I'm not gonna miss you.

''Ask him about the box,'' Jonathan whispered to Evy. Box what box.

''Um, we found your, um excuse me,'' she said trying to get Ricks attention.

''We found your puzzle box, and we've come to ask about it.'' Puzzle box. They don't mean…

''No,'' Rick simply replied.

''No?'' Evy asked confused.

''No you've came to ask me about the Hamunaptra,'' Rick stated.

''How did you know the box is about Hamunaptra?'' She asked clearly exited.

''Because that's where I was when I found it. I was there,'' He said. Oh yeah that box. Then Jonathan stepped closer to Rick and said,

''And how do we know that's not a big load on bigswollow?'' Um I wouldn't be so close if I were you.

''You know, do I know you?'' Rick asked pointing Jonathan. Oh oh.

''No no, I just have one of those faces…'' Jonathan started only ending up getting punched by Rick.

''Good punch,'' I stated. Same time the guard behind Rick punched him back of his head. Ouch. Evy simply stepped over Jonathan who was lying on the ground.

''You were actually at Hamunaptra?'' She asked.

''Believed sister we were,'' I said as I was leaning on the bars getting a surprised look on her face. Didn't she notice I was standing there? A big smile grossed across Ricks face oh boy this is not good.

''Yea I was there,'' he said.

''You swear?'' Evy demanded.

''Every damn day,'' He stated.

''Hell yeah,'' I said.

''No I didn't mean that…'' she tried to say.

''I know what you meant. I was there so was she,'' He said pointing at me. ''Seti's place. City of the dead.'' He assured.

''Could you tell me how to get there?'' She asked. After that statement I almost fell over. What? Why does she want to go there. I just wanted to get out of there. Rick seemed just as surprised as I was. The she took off that ridiculous summer hat to for a wall between her and the warden who was still shouting something to people.

''I mean the exact location,'' She said in low voice.

''You wanna know?'' Rick asked

''Well yes,'' Evy assured.

''You really wanna know?'' Oh for the love of… Rick she said that already.

''Yes,'' she said moving to closer to Rick. He then motion her to get closer as she did he crapped her head and kissed her. Well that was unexpected.

''Then get me the hell out of here,'' he said as he was smacked on the head again. Hey he's already lost enough brain cells; let him keep the little he still has. Then they started fighting. And unfortunately as tough as Rick is he was out numbered.

''Just do it lady,'' He yelled to Evy behind the bars as he was taken away.

''Where are they taking him?'' Evy asked the warden that had appeared to beside us.

''To be hanged. Apparently he had a very good time.'' He said. Oh boy. Here we go again.

We watched as they took Rick to the gallows. Can you get out of this one Rick?

''I'll Give you one hundred pounds to save this man's life,'' Evy said to the warden. A hundred pounds. Lady you really need to learn something.

''Madam I would pay one hundred pounds just to see him hanged…'' warden said

''Two, two hundred pounds,'' Evy tried.

''Proceed,'' The warden yelled to the hanger. When I get my hands on him…

''Three hundred pounds,'' Wow, this lady's pretty desperate. Then the hanger said something in Arab.

''What of course we won't let him go,'' warden said. As the Hanger slapped Rick to the head.

''Five hundred pounds,'' Evy said to the warden. He said something in Arab and the he turned to Evy

''And what else? I'm a very lonely man,'' he said as he touched her thigh but Evy smacked his hand away. The other prisoners started laughing at this. Even I giggled a little. Then he yelled something at Arab witch probably meant that Rick is going to be hanged.

''NO!'' Me and Evy yelled as the hatch under Rick opened. Ricks neck didn't break so now he was just hanging there waiting to be strangled. If I'm honest this is the scariest moment of my life. I literally had tears in my eyes desperate to fall down on my cheeks. I rarely cry now I really wanted to start.

''Haha. His neck did not break,'' really great way to point the obvious.

''Oh I'm so sorry now we must watch him strangle to the death,'' he said.

''He know the location to Hamunaptra,'' Evy said. Tears had started to roll down on my cheeks. I didn't hear anything they said I was too focused to watch my brother. My breath was stuck in my throat. The suddenly the warden yelled

''Cut him down,'' What he was free. I saw as the hanger cut the rope that was strangling Rick and he fell to the ground. I knew Evy had done something to get him free and for that she had my eternal gratitude. I ran down to the yard. Rick was trying to stand up. When he saw me he smiled put that smile turned to groan as he fell down after I punched him straight to the face.

''What was that for?'' He asked the he looked me and saw my red eyes and wet cheeks and felt a little ashamed. I knelt in front of him and hugged him.

''Don't ever scare me like that.'' I said to his shaggy hair as I hugged him.

Don't worry you won't get rid of me that easily.'' He chuckled.

Evy and Jonathan came to us. Evy started talking.

''What is your name?'' She asks.

''Rick O'Connell,'' My brother says '' Nikki O'Connell,'' He says and points me.

''Well Mr. O'Connell I got you free in exchange for 25 percent of the treasures of the Hamunaptra to the warden. I expect you to show up tomorrow morning at nine o'clock at the Giza port. Here's twenty pounds for you to clean yourself up.'' Then she and Jonathan started walking away.

''Evy,'' I yelled after her. She turned around

''Thank you for saving my brother.'' I said. She smiled and nodded. I looked at my brother. He rolled his eyes and said

''Yes, thank you,'' We started walking to the gates.

''Apparently we're going to Hamunaptra again,'' I said to Rick. He looked at me as I just grown another head

''You're not going anywhere,'' he said. I gave him my famous 'really' look and said

''Do you honestly think I'm gonna do as you say,''

''No, not really,'' He said the smiled at me. I couldn't do anything else but to smile back.
