Jasper proceeded slowly in the direction the dictionary came from, carrying it with him. He held his weapon ready in front of him.
Rick set up camp there for the night, and was digging through the bag, discarding useless items. Alex was taking a nap, and Evie was reading from a book about the Quotes when Rick froze.
"Eve, did you hear something?" He said, hearing someone step in the sand. Jasper froze. Evie looked at Rick, cocked her brow and shook her head, continuing to read. Rick shrugged, pulled his gun to go check it out when Jasper came running up towards Rick, and he tackled him. Jasper's plan was a success, Evie didn't notice anything happened. Rick clubbed Jasper over the head with his gun, but only hit his shoulder. He tried again, but was then punched the face. He successfully clubbed Jasper out.
"EVIE!" Rick shouted, with Jasper knocked out on top of him. Evie stood, and pulled Jasper off Rick, smacking the already-unconscious man.
"He's married, you sicko!" She said, with a grin, and rolled Jasper down the dune. Rick stood up, rubbing his forehead.
"Thanks for all the help," Rick said, sitting down hard.
"Don't like a life of danger, dear?" Evie replied, putting her arms around him.
"No, I just don't..like...things..." Rick searched for a witty retort, but he was still regaining his breath. He wrapped his arms around Evie and they began to kiss when Alex woke up, after the yelling, smacking, and rolling.
"Can't have a single day, or hour, without this," Alex replied, annoyed. His main pet peeve with his parents was their constant kissing, this becoming very tedious.
"Must be pretty damn happy," Alex said, looking away, when he received a light slap in the head from his mother, still kissing Rick.
The Egyptian Sun rose over the horizon and beamed down at the O'Connells and diggers nearby early that morning. Alex was already up, reading from one of his mother's books, when he saw the diggers stare at the sarcophagus, pack up, and leave. The sun hit Rick and Evie's eyes and they saw the diggers had left.
"Mom, Dad, they left a coffin or whatever-you-call-it there!" Alex shouted, sliding down the dunes after it. Rick packed up the camp considerably slow, Evie was digging for her kit somewhere in the clutter Rick made the night before. Eventually, the two made it to the sarcophagus, where Alex had already dusted it off, and was drumming his fingers along the hieroglyphs, like his mother does. He dare not open it, who knows what would happen.
"Alex, son, hold this," Rick said, dumping a large pack of equipment into Alex's waiting arms. He readied his trusty revolvers. Evie dusted off the spots Alex had missed and read it.
"By Anubis!" Evie yelled suddenly, causing Alex to fall, "They missed this! The Quotes are right in this sarcophagus!" Rick tried to open the coffin, straining against the stone, but then they saw a familiar mark on the sarcophagus. An Egyptian lock.
"No, we need the key," Rick said, dusting the lock, "And I'll bet you a mountain of gold Jasper and Casper have it."
"Which one?" Evie inquired, looking at the shape, "The shape is something we've never seen before!" The lock was shaped like a hexagon, and was very deep.
Jasper's men were riding into the rising sun, and Casper was carrying something.
"Hmm, this should fetch me a good price," The stupid man said.
It was a golden statue of the god Horace. The base was in the shape of a raised hexagon.
