It took them nearly three days to get back to Cairo and everyone had decided to stay together at a local hotel. Krista and Rick had gone home to pack a few things before heading over to the hotel with the rest of the group.

While Rick had gone down to the bar, Krista had stayed behind in the room to have a shower and change clothes.

The past few days had been very exhausting and all Krista wanted to get clean and take a nice long nap. Unfortunately that did seem to be an option. As soon as she exited the bathroom and began getting dressed, Krista heard a commotions coming from the adjoining room to theirs, Evy's room.

Quickly slipping on some clothes, Krista made her way to the door connecting the two rooms and opened it only to see her husband and Evy having some kind of argument. Evy's suitcase was lying open on the bed and half on her clothes were thrown in it.

"No we are not. We woke him up, and we must try and stop him." Krista heard Evy shout at Rick as she entered the room.

"We?! What we?! I didn't read that book; Kris and Jonathan didn't read the book. I told you not to play around with that thing." Rick yelled right back at her as he finally stopped trying to pack her things, since she kept taking them back out.

Evy groaned in frustration, "Alright then, Me, I, ...I read the book, I woke him up and I intend to stop him. I'm sure Krista agrees with me." She motioned over to her sister.

Krista opened her mouth to respond but was cut off, "How!? You heard the man; no mortal weapons can kill this guy. And leave your sister out of this."

Evelyn grabbed the bra the Rick was twisting around and threw it into a drawer, "Then we'll have to find some immortal ones; and Krista has every right to be a part of this conversation, it affects her too."

Rick threw his hands up, "There goes that 'we' again. Not me, and not Kris, we are outta here!"

Rick stuffed a pile of Evy's shoes into the trunk, only for Evy to kick the lid shut, slamming it on his fingers. Rick yelped and angrily stormed around the room towards Krista as he sucked on his throbbing fingers.

"According to that Book, once this creature has been reborn, his curse will spread, and as he grows in strength, so will his curse grow, infecting the people until the whole of the earth is destroyed." Evy informed him as she chased after him.

Rick groaned, "Yeah? So? Is that my problem?"

"It's everybody's problem!" Evy shouted incredulously

Rick glanced at Krista, then down at her growing belly before finally sighing as he looked over at his sister-in-law "Look Evy, I appreciate you saving my life and all, but when I signed on, I agreed to take you out there and bring you back, and I did, now were even, end of job, end of story, contract terminated."

"That's what I am to you? A contract?" She questioned bitterly

"Look me and Kris, we've got a baby on the way, I can't stay here and put her in jeopardy because of a dumb decision you made. Now, you can either tag along with us, or you can stay here and play around with Mister Maggot."

Evy turned to look at her baby sister, "Krissy? Please?" she begged

Krista sighed sadly, "I really want to stay and help Evy, you know I do, but Rick is right. We have to put the safety of our child first. I'm sorry."

Evy glared at her sister, then at Rick, "I'm staying."

Rick sighed and nodded his head, "Fine." He grabbed Krista's hand and pulled her back into their adjoining room and closed the door behind him.

Rick sighed as he moved into the room and pulled out their suitcases to sit them by the door, "I don't know how you put up with your sister."

Krista chuckled at him as she moved to wrap her arms around him and lay her head on his back, "Yes, she can be a bit infuriating. You know I think she has a bit of a crush on you."

Rick snorted as he turned to wrap his own arms around his wife, "Well she's just gonna have to deal with it, cause I'm already taken."

"Mhmm, Indeed you are, love." Krista smirked as she reached up for a kiss, "I'm glad you understand, for a moment I thought I was going to have to remind you that you are a married man." She sighed wistfully and moved out of his arms and closer to the bed, "But since you seem to remember that fact just fine on you own, there will be no need for me to remind you… pity."

Rick smirked at his wife as she turned to look at him, "Oh I don't know, it never hurts to be reminded," he said as he stalked closer to Krista.


Later on Rick had left Krista to have a drink at the bar, while she joined Evy in her reading. She figured since they couldn't leave till tomorrow, she could at least help as much as possible while she was here.

At the moment the two girls were walking down the hallway back to Evy's room when they heard shouting, "Kris! Evy!"

The girls turned to look at him expectantly, "We got a problem." Just then, a crackle of thunder hit and lightning shot across the sky. It started raining and fiery meteorites started falling from the sky.

Rick grabbed Krista's hand the three of them ran for cover; they turned to go up a flight of stairs but ran into Beni who was coming down them at the same time.

"Beni, you little stinkweed; where you been?" Rick asked as he shoved the little man against the wall.

Before the little man could answer there was a loud inhuman roar the came from the upstairs. Rick pulled out his gun and released Beni, who quickly took off, and the three of them ran up the stairs to find where the noise came from.

Once they reached the top of the stairs, they heard the noise once more, leading them Mr. Burns' door. Rick threw the door open and the three of the rush in only to skid to a stop as they spot Burns, or what's left of him, lying dead on in the chair, his body is shriveled to half its size, and drained of all organs and liquids. Krista and Evy let out horrified gasps at the sight.

Then they hear a loud moan and they notice the mummy standing on the far side of the room. A thick skin began to form over powerful new musculature. His tendons rippled, and his bones started to bulge and reform. The mummy's mouth opened to an inhuman size as he moaned in pain. The three of them stood their in stunned silence as they watched this happen.

"We are in serious trouble." Rick breathed out, his words catching the mummy's attention and at the sight of Krista and Evy, he began moving closer to the three. Once he did, Rick began shooting at the mummy. Bullets ripped through his body, but he didn't seem to mind.

Jonathan, Henderson and Daniels ran into the room, but stopped short at the sight that greeted them. Once Rick's ammo was out the mummy angrily turned, grabbed Rick and with no effort, and threw him across the room and into Jonathan and the others knocking them down.

Once the men were out of the way, the mummy turned his attention to the sisters He looked to Evy first. Evelyn backed away into a wall, terrified. He moved closer to her, "You saved me from the undead. I thank you."

He then turned and moved towards Krista, "Kridasha my beloved. Please forgive me for my past sins. Let us move forward with our new lives. Anck-su-namun is in the past. I must fulfill my promise to return her to the living and then I shall remove her from our lives." The more he spoke, the closer he moved to Krista and by this point he had her pinned to the wall, "All that I desire is to be with you and Abraxes, my love." He whispered as he leaned in, about to kiss her with his decayed face.

Right before his lips touched hers Evy's cat jumped onto the piano, and hissed at the mummy. He shrieked and the balcony doors blew open. The mummy spun into a blast of wind and sand and swirled out the doors disappearing into thin air.

Rick got to his feet and rushed over to Krista, checking her over to make sure she was unharmed, Jonathan doing the same to Evy, while the two Americans moved to look at their dead friend.

"We are in very serious trouble." Rick stated as he held Krista close to him.
