Chapter Four- Kidnaps!
The journey on train from Egypt to London was peaceful for them all. As the O'Connell's kept to themselves, Howard sat very close to Vince, who was currently asleep, snoring softly with his head leant on the window and his features relaxed.
'I nearly lost him again' Howard thought, pulling his boyfriend close and kissing the top of his head, gently stroking the raven locks 'I promised him I'd protect him, but I'm failing already. I hope the rest of this so-caled-adventure goes without a hitch' His thoughts ended there as he slowly went to sleep to, his head resting on Vince's as the train rocked them both gently
Alex notised the couple and smiled, turning back to his parents "So, they're friends of yours, in a realationship with each other, but from a different world in the future?"
"Pretty much" Rick answered, not knowing how to really answer. He was however astonded that his son could take all that infomation without even batting an eyelash. Looking at his wife, he could tell she was thinking the same thing.
In London, they finally got to O'Connell manor by Rick's new car. The rain lashed down to truelly prove they were in England, as the car pulled up and parked outside the front door. Evy quickly got out and opened the door, as Vince ran inside to avoid the rain. Howard flashed her a sorry smile as he went past for his partner and Alex came in with the chest. Finally Rick made his way in carring all the luggage.
"Now, you boys make yourselves at home in the front room while we deal with this. If you're hungery or thirsty, don't hesitate to ask" Evy invited Vince and Howard, before walking with her husband upstairs. Alex placed the chest on a small table and moved away, not before hearing a clicking sound coming from it. Fishing the key out of his pocket, Alex unlocked the box to reveal the golden bracelet.
"Nice, is it?" He heard a voice behind him and saw Vince watching him. Howard had walked off to find out where he and his lover where sleeping "But I think there's some bad juju about it, better not touch it" He warned, nearly ignoring his own words as his fingers traced the scorpian design.
He turned away for a minute, and turned back to see the cursed jewellery on the boy's arm, locking into place. Then flashes of images flew in front of the two's eyes, scenes of flying across the desert and ending at some ruins "That's the temple ruins of Karnak" Alex said, his voice nearly quiet. Vince could only watch in amazement at the picture in front of him, unpleasent memories of the last time they were here creeping inside his mind.
As soon the the images came, they went. Alex paniced and tried taking off the bracelet. Vince tried to help remove it but to no avail, there was no clasp and the links were fused shut, sticking forever on Alex's wrist. They heard footsteps coming down the stairs and quickly the kid pulled down his sleeve, hiding the bracelet, he then gave the key to Vince "Hide it, don't let my mom know" Then placed a small statue into the chest and close it.
The gothic poof nodded and placed it in his pocket, then smiled as his boyfriend walked into the front room, Evy close behind him "Come on Vince, our rooms ready, you'll love it" He said, gathering his partner in his arms and kissing him softly, making Vince shiver in excitement, but he blushed at the mock-disgusted look from Alex and the amused look for Evy.
The boosh boys made it upstairs and went into their room, closing the door quickly behind them. Howard gathered Vince once again in his arms and kissed him hard and squeezing his arse, making him arch in his touch. Then he dropped the electro goth gently on the bed and laid his large body over Vince's, hungerily taking the soft lips in his own for a searing kiss. Howard's hands travelled underneath Vince' tight top, fingers playing with nipples and protruding ribs to make the most cutest noises come out of Vince's mouth.
They stopped what they were doing when they heard banging noises coming from the room next door and downstairs "What's going on?" Vince asked, his lips swollen from kisses and a disappointed look in his blue eyes. Howard shrugged and motioned for his boyfriend to follow him out of the room, telling him to keep quiet.
Downstairs, they were shocked to see a battle going on between Evy and some red-robed warriors. Evy had a large sword in her hands, staying in a defencive position while Alex held the chest to him, hiding behind a huge bookcase. They turned when they heard shooting noises coming from the bedroom next to their's, bullet-holes appearing in the door "Howard, you see what's happing in there. I'll go and help Evy and Alex" before Howard could argue, Vince gave him a quick peck on the lips and made his way downstairs.
Howard ran towards the bullet-riddled door and opened it to reveal the room in a mess. A chair was upturned and red-robed bodies lay on the ground dead, with O'Connell lying behind the chair with who looked like Jonatahn Carnahan, Evy's brother. One lone warrior stood up, a machine gun in his hands, and notised Howard standing by the door. He turned to shoot the jazz mavarick, but he sprinted out of the way in time, getting behind the chair with his friends.
As the warriors started reloading his gun, Jonathan motioned for them to hide in the bathroom, but a shorter man with dark robes and a red turban grabbed his ankle and tried to grab the golden sceptre out of the man's hand. Jon retailiated by bringing the sceptre down on his head, knocking him out and scarpered for the bathroom. Howard watched in amazement as Rick stood up to face the warrior, but instead grabbed his arm and dragged hi into the bathroom, locking the door.
"Where's Jonathan?" Howard asked, looking around the room. Then, a form moved in the water filled bath tub and the man in question emerged, gasping for breath. Rick growled in annoyance as he grabbbed his brother-in-law's jacket coller "Who'd ya piss off this time?" He yelled.
"I haven't done anything to anybody" Jonathan answered weakly. Bullets shot through the door, smashing bottles and jars of bath products. Howard knew if Vince sure this happening, he'd have a fit "Recently" Jon added to his defence, a sheepish look on his face. Rick just rolled his eyes and grabbed Jonathan and Howard, and dragged them out of the bathroom window, landing not too gently on the gorund below. The gun-welding warrior looked out the window and started firing again, annoyed as the three men ran for cover around the corner of the house.
Vince made his way down the stairs quickly as he could and grabbed another sword on his way past. He had no idea how to use the damn thing, but he wanted to help his friends. Evy was shocked when the smaller man took up another defencive position next to her, a scared and worried look in his eyes. A dark skinned man walked forwards "Give me the chest and no-one gets hurt"
"I think not" Came a familiar voice. Ardeth Bay walked quickly from beind the warriors and stood by Evy's other side, his own sword raised and a determined look in his dark eyes.
"Ardeth, what are you doing here?" Evy asked, surprized "Perhaps explanations are best kept for later" Ardeth answered, never taking his eyes off the dark skinned man "Lock-nah"
"Ardeth Bay" His rival nodded back, beofre unleashed his attack on the Medjai, his other warriors going after Vince and Evy. Evy was amazed to see her body so in control of the weapon she was holding, quickly taking down warrior after warrior. She did a cartwheel backwards as one man came at her, kicking him in the face. Then she crossed swords with an attacker much to the surprise of herself and her son who was standing by the bookshelf holding onto the chest.
"Whoa, mom. Where'd you lean to do that?" Alex called out, impressed "I have no idea" She yelled back, before driving her knee into another man's groin "That I learnt from your father" She gave a quick glipse to see how Vince was doing, before getting back into the battle.
The electro goth was actually doing well for his first (and hopefully last) swordfight. He took down three warriors by driving his sword handle on their heads or between their legs, his anger fuelled by the fact one of them actually cut of part of his raven locks (it was only a little bit, but to Vince that was the ultimate crime). He then felt soemthing hit him hard in the back of his head and darkness claimed him as he collapsed onto the floor in a heap, the warrior who knocked him out gathered him not too gently in his arms and carried Vince out.
"Vince" Alex called out, but became busy as a larger man stole the chest out of his hands, running out of the house. He heard his mother telling Ardeth that the chest contained the bracelet of Anubis and felt slightly guilty about having the cursed thing on his wrist. Evy cursed and dropped her sword to run after the chest. It all happened so fast that she didn't have time to react before another warrior knocked her out and carried her out of the house too.
Lock-Nah slashed Ardeth in the chest and pushed him backwards before the desert warrior could go after the woman. The dark-skinned man saw Alex cowering in a corner and flung his knife at him, which lodged into the wall right over top the boy's head. Then he swept from the room with his surviving servants.
Outside the house, Rick, Howard and Jonathan ran to the front to find Vince, Evy and Alex. They stopped when they saw a black limousine pull out of the driveway, Evy and Vince's faces appearing in the back window, screaming for help before cloths covered their mouths and they were knocked out again.
"Evy" "Vince" Rick and Howard both yelled out, worried for their partners "Dad" The sound was like sweet music to Rick's ears as he turned to see Alex running towards him and hugged him tightly. His eyes hardened though when he saw the Med-jai leader behind Alex.
"Ardeth Bay, long time no see." He grabbed the man and said angrily, "What the hell are you doing here?" Before Ardeth could answer Rick said, "No! Scratch that! I don't care. Who the hell were those guys and where did they take my wife?"
"And my Boyfirend?" Howard said angrily also, worry catching up to him. Ardeth Bay pulled a photo out of his robes and calmly showed it to them. It was a picture he had taken while posing as a workman at a dig site in Hamunaptra. It showed the short robed man from Jonatahn's room among other nameless faces. "My friend, wherever this man is, your wife and your partner will surely be."
Alex looked at the picture and recognition clicked in his mind. He snatched the photo and said, "I know him! He's one of the Curators at the British Museum!" "Are you sure?" Ardeth Bay asked.
Rick nodded. "Yeah, you better believe him. He spends more time there then he does at home." Then they were on the move walking quickly to the garage. Stomping across the driveway Rick said, "Okay, you're here, bad guys are here, Evy and Vince gets kidnapped. Let me guess—"
Ardeth Bay grimly confirmed Rick's suspicions. "Yes, they have removed the creature from his grave" Howard stumbled in his steps as he remembered Imhotep, tears nearly forming in his eyes as the image of Vince getting hurt by that bastard formed in his mind.
With a groan Jonathan said, "Not to point fingers, but isn't it your job to make sure that doesn't happen?" Ardeth replied shortly, "The woman who is with them knows things. She knows things that no living person could possibly know. She knew exactly where the creature was buried."
As they climbed into Rick's 1933 Beauford beauty, the Med-jai contiuned, "We were hoping she would lead us to the bracelet. She did and now they have it." Before getting in Alex sheepishly confessed, "I wouldn't get too nervous about that."
Pulling up his sleeve he revealed that he was wearing the bracelet. Ardeth Bay examined his wrist fervently "When I put it on, I saw the pyramids at Giza, then whoosh! Straight across the desert to Karnak," Alex informed them.
"By putting this on, you have started a chain reaction that could bring about the Apocalypse." Ardeth said calmly, making Alex gasp in shock. Rick clenched his fists "You," he said to Ardeth, "lighten up. You," to Alex, "big trouble. You," to Jonathan, "get in. You," to Howard, "the same"
Rick's car careened down the sodden London streets amidst the rain and flashes of lightning. The atmosphere in the car was tense, distraught and fearful. Each person in the car was temporarily entrenched within their own entourage of troubling thoughts and emotions. All Howard could think of was how scared and hurt Vince must be, he promised to protect him but his promises were breaking badly. Silent tears fell from his eyes, and he jumped as he felt a small hand on his arm.
"Don't worry. Vince is with mom, they'll be fine. Besides, you want to see the way he was fighting, he was so brave and brilliant" Alex smiled up to him. Howard gave him a small smile and patted his hand in thanks, before looking out the steamed up window again 'Vince, fighting? Now there's a first' He thought to himself, smiling at the thought of his lover wielding a sword (not that type, those thoughts are for later)
Ardeth broke the eerie silence "I'm sorry if I alarmed your son. But you must understand, now that the bracelet is on his wrist, we have only seven days before the Scorpion King awakes."
Turning a corner Rick replied in disbelief, "We? What we? I just want my wife back and he wants Vince back" He said, indicating to Howard.
"If the Scorpion King is not destroyed, he will raise the Army of Anubis." Jonathan leaned forward. "I take it that's not a good thing?"
"Oh, no. He'll just wipe out the world," Rick said calmly "Ah. The old wipe-out-the-world ploy." Howard muttered quietly.
Ardeth Bay rambled on, "Whoever kills the Scorpion King can send his army back to the underworld or use it to destroy mankind and rule the earth."
"So that's why the dug up ol' Imhotep. He's the only one tough enough to take on the Scorpion King." Rick said
The Medjai agreed. "That is their plan." They reached the British Museum in record time Rick having flown across the slippery London streets. The rain continued to pelt down. The atmosphere it created was just perfect for the circumstances. Rick turned around in his seat and addressed his son "Okay, Alex I want you to stay here and protect the car."
Jonathan seemed to like that idea for himself. "I could do that!" Alex glared. "Protect the car? Come on, Dad, just because I'm a kid doesn't mean I'm stupid."
Rick ruffled his hair. "I know you're not."
"If you see someone come out running and screaming, it's probably me." Jonathan gulped.
Rick seemed to rethink something. "Jonathan, maybe you should stay here with Alex"
"Now you're thinking!" Jonathan agreed heartily.
Howard exited the car in silence and went back round to the trunk where the Med-jai and his friend were loading up. In the trunk was a mini armory: a shotgun, a submachine gun, pistols, a rifle, and other weapons. The two men didn't notice him at first but kept speaking in low voices.
"Want the twelve-gauge?" Rick offered the man.
Ardeth said, "No, I prefer the Thompson."
"I prefer a handgun myself," Howard spoke up, leaning against the car.
Rick looked up in surprise and frowned. "Where do you think you're going?"
Howard sighed. "I'm not going to leave Vince in their on his own. He may have fought well back at the house, but he could be hurt and sacred now. He needs me now more than ever, and I need him back to be sure he's fine"
Rick gritted his teeth and let out a hissing sigh. He reluctantly picked up the handgun and handed it to his friend. He smiled at him gratefully and checked to make sure it was loaded. Rick then reached for the machine gun and Ardeth Bay caught a glimpse of his tattoo. He smiled knowingly to himself and said to Rick, "If I were to say to you: 'I am a stranger traveling from the East seeking that which is lost'..."
Rick frowned as the invisible barrage holding back memories from long ago gave way slightly, the breach having been triggered by the Medjai's words. He murmured the last words almost robotically, "I would reply: 'I am a stranger traveling from the West, it is I whom you seek.'" He looked inquisitively at Ardeth as if the man would know how he knew that, which surprisingly he did.
Ardeth gave Rick an appraising grin. "Then it is true. You are a Masonic Templar."
Howard was lost. "A what?" Ardeth pointed to his tattoo and said, "You have the mark."
"What, this?" Rick jerked his hand away "I got it slapped onto me when I was in an orphanage in Cairo" The word orphanage reminded Howard painfully of Vince. He remembered his boyfriend telling him his parents died when they were driving in the forest, a large shaggy beast flew out of the trees and crashed into their car, making his parents lose control and crash into a large tree. They died on impact while he was knocked unconcious, waking up in a large bus ticket house and finding out Byran Ferry had adopted him.
"That mark means you are a Protector of man, a warrior for God, a Medjai," Ardeth informed him. Rick stared at the Medjai for a moment before shaking his head, denying it. "Sorry. You've got the wrong guy." Then he, Ardeth and Howard made their way up the stairs to the museum.
