The Mummy: Jonathan's Story
Rebecca hugged her old friend, Evelyn. "I haven't seen you since you left the library in Cairo Evie!" she exclaimed.
"That was 10 years ago. Let's have lunch and catch up okay Rebecca? I have the wildest stories to tell you!" Evie said excitedly.
They sat down at their table in a fancy French restaurant in England called The Café De Salle.
"So what's new?" Rebecca said between sips of tea. "I heard that you went to Hamunaptra."
Rebecca was in her mid 30's and was 3 years older than Evie but she was more immature than Evie. She was mischievous and crafty, but she never looked it. She wore long dresses of silk and her curly brown hair was usually in a bun. She had fair skin and gray eyes. She always wore sandals, even in England. Today she was wearing a red dress and gold sandals.
"Yes I did, it's a long story though…" Evie said, and she gave a long account of the trip to Hamunaptra, fighting mummies and her new family including her husband Rick and her son Alex.
"Well I have done nothing unless you count getting fired from the museum, and wandering from job to job." Rebecca said.
"That's terrible, how did that happen?" Evie said.
"I…Well…Let's say I accidentally set fire to Thutmose II's tomb and cremated him and his 3,798 servants…" Rebecca said with a smirk.
"Oh poor Thutmose! That's something my brother would do." Evie said.
"Who's your brother? I never knew you had a brother!" Rebecca said.
"His name is Jonathan and he's 4 years older than me. He worked at the museum too, but he got fired for having poor organization, he couldn't organize the catalogue," Evie said, "Why?"
"I don't know, you never told me about him and I want to meet him." Rebecca said.
"How about coming with me to meet my family? You can meet Rick and Alex and Jonathan!" Evie said, "Come with me!"
Rebecca and Evie drove to the O'Connell Manor and got out of the car. The manor was huge and very old on the outside, but when Evie opened the door and Rebecca peered inside, the inside looked very new.
"Mum!" a little boy who had come running up shouted. Rebecca guessed this was Alex. "Mum! You're back!" He shouted and hugged Evie.
"Rick!" Evie shouted to him, "Rick, Jonathan come down I want you to meet a friend of mine!"
Two men came downstairs, one was tough looking and had hair up to his ears, and the other was shorter and had shorter hair. The tough-looking one introduced himself as Rick and the other was none other than Jonathan.
"Nice to meet you Rebecca," he said, "And must I say you are stunningly beautiful."
"Why, thank you," Rebecca blushed, "You don't look half bad yourself."
"Rebecca are you doing anything on Saturday night?" Jonathan said.
"No not that I know of." Rebecca said.
"Do you want to go out to the fancy new club down the street with me then?" Jonathan asked.
"Why I'd love to!" She replied with a smile.
Though it was Wednesday, for Rebecca, it felt like a million years until Saturday finally came.
