At A Distance
Two years after the marriage of Lee and Tina, Basil found himself being questioned by a historian on the events of the discovery of Ptah's tomb. Being glad to give information, Basil answered the questions.
"Is it true there was an assassination attempt on Mrs. Ping's life?" asked the historian.
"No, that is actually something that happened on a later expedition… One that I was also present for!"
"What happened?"
"I was present for the expedition, not the assassination attempt but I saw who it was at a distance."
"Who was it?"
"Chaz Moneranian." Stated Basil.
"Was he alive when you saw him?"
"If you can call the state he was in alive."
"What about Ptah's mummy? Did you ever see that?" asked the historian.
"As with Moneranian, only at a distance." Basil placed his feet on the table of the French café they were in. "You see I was inhuming someone when they brought it out."
"Who was it?"
"No one that you need to pry about."
"Alright then, what of Old Kwee's death?"
"That was before the expedition."
"The curse?"
"A myth like all curses!"
"The love triangle between Mr. Ping, Mrs. Ping and Captain Barrage?"
"Fiction! Fiction! Fiction!" exclaimed Basil. "If I ever hear any talk of that nonsense again I'll blood eagle someone!"
