Disclaimer: Tragically I do not own the mummy.

Alexia watched as the dark haired mystery man and his med rode away. She had noticed his look before he had left and she couldn't stop the smirk from forming on her face.

"What are you so pleased about?" Jonathon asked her.

Alexia smiled at Jonathon and gave him a slap on the back. "That was the first real fight I've had in a while."

Jonathon gave her a ridicoulous look. "And that makes you happy? You are one weird woman Alexia."

Alexia's smile grew. "I am slightly bummed though."

"And whys that?"

"I didn't get his name." Alexia said making Jonathon stare at her bewildered. They had reached Rick and Evy.

"You okay?" Alexia asked Evy.

Evy nodded. Rick nodded as well while giving Alexia an appraising look.

"I'm good and Jonathon's sober."

"See! That proves it! Old Seti's fortunes gotta be under this sand." Daniels said excitedly.

"For them to protect it like this, you just know there's gotta be treasure down there."

Rick shook his head slightly. "Those men are desert people. They value water not gold."

Alexia looked again at the place their attackers had left from. She heard Amour's challenging scream rip through the air from their camp. Just barely she could hear a horse answer him back. Alexia smied to herself. 'I'll be seeing you again.' She thought as she turned to head back towards camp.

A couple of hours later Jonathon was passed out with a goofy smile on his face. Rick was attempting to teach Evy how to fight after a failed belly dance lesson.

After watching for a few more minutes Alexia went to check on Amour and stretch out her legs.

Amour nickered at Alexia as she fed him a treat.

"What am I thinking mi amour?" She asked her horse as he searched her for more food. "One bloody fight with someone I don't even know and I can't get him out of my head!"

"Get who out of yer head?"

Alexia whirled around pistol raised to find Henderson smiling at her with his hands raised.

"You almost got yourself killed there Henderson." Alexia said putting her gun away.

Henderson shrugged and walked next to Alexia as she put the saddle bag with Amour's brushes away.

"You gonna answer the question?" he asked her.

Alexia shrugged. "Why do you want to know?"

Henderson seemed to get a little embarrassed for a moment.

"Sounds like you got yourself a man." He said quietly.

Alexia smiled slightly.

"Haven't found one that can keep up." She replied.

"Not a single person huh?"

Alexia turned around and found herself face to face with Henderson.

"Nope." Alexia said trying to ignore Henderson's obvious motive.

Henderson smiled as he watched Alexia try and turn away.

"How 'bout giving me a shot."

Alexia shook her head with a sigh.

"Look Henderson. You aren't my type okay." Alexia said as forced her way past Henderson to head back towards her camp.

"No offense." She added as she walked away.

"What is your type?" he called after her.

Alexia smiled to herself and continued walking. The face of a mystery desert man danced in her mind.

AN: so here it is! *does a little dance* and just a reminder that I cannot read your mind so please tell me what you think. Next chapter up soon… possibly by the end of this weekend if I get a couple of reviews tonight!
