Day 2: Evie's POV
~*~*~*~
My husband won for Monday. So what, if he would kindly remember that there are seven days in a week and not just one, it would reduce the size of his ego. My husband acts just like a child sometimes. I guess that's why I love him. I love him even more at this moment, because I know I won for today.
It started out normal, I will concede to that, but it hasn't ended normal. I had a new shipment in today that I wanted catalogued and put in it's proper place before we leave for the dig next week. Nothing un-normal about that, but Cal showed up. Honestly I don't think he understands that I do not like to be pestered. He showed up and at the wrong time too.
Rick showed up with coffee and a bagel (he can be extremely sweet when he wishes to be) and he was also fifteen minutes early. I gave him a reward which could have lasted a lot longer had it not been for my former fiancé. I might have said something to him too, but Rick was getting tense and I knew that if I didn't get him calmed down the ten plagues of Egypt would seem like a walk in the park compared to him.
I wanted to get those two separated as quickly as possible, but Rick stopped all of my efforts. Which made me nervous. I didn't want my museum ruined just because Cal was antagonizing him. I tried and protested, but unfortunately my husband used logic. I really hate it when he does that. It's like someone throwing your words back at you. It just grates on your nerves until... well until you calm down. So I went to the vault where the shipment was at and started getting everything ready to be moved.
I think I only calmed down once Rick AND Cal joined me. Rick hadn't killed him and that was a good thing. I swear the more time I spend with Cal the more I'm thankful I didn't marry him. Never mind the other stuff, but he wouldn't LEAVE me alone. Always asking questions, always making comments on my clothes, my hair, my career, my family, anything and everything. He was worse than Alex has ever been. Of course he would only make comments on my person when Rick was out of earshot which was good because like I've said I didn't want my museum destroyed.
At least he wasn't that stupid. Although one I'm sure could argue that point. Things were fine. My husband was behaving himself most wonderfully and Cal was behaving himself and things were going just fine. That was until Rick had to go and pick Alex up. I know he wanted me to go, but I just couldn't get away. It's not like Cal was all that threatening anyway. Well that is what I thought at the time. I should really know better by now.
It was while Rick was gone that Cal's demeanor changed. Call it woman's intuition, but he was different. It wasn't something that I could explain or put my finger on what it was exactly. All I know was that something had changed. I chalked it to paranoia and went back to work, but the hairs on the back of my neck were standing and as much as I tried to ignore it I couldn't. It wasn't until I started taking all my frustration out on a poor crate. But honestly that thing wouldn't open and I just knew something was going to happen. It always does.
My husband came back. Granted he was suppose to, but he shouldn't have antagonized Cal. We always run into the bad guy and he just barges in head first without thinking. On the other side that is one of the reasons I love him so much. To say things went bad is an understatement. Somehow my husband forgot that he is bigger than Cal and we were overpowered by the nasty little man and are now stuck in the same crate! I'm really frustrated now and when we get out of here, I will prove to everyone how frustrated I am!
And we will get out. Alex is with Henry and I'm sure because our son takes after ME, he will eventually find us. If Cal doesn't get to him first... It is much easier dealing with things when you are angry. Not scared that for whatever reason someone might try and hurt your child. (I love my husband.) He always knows how to make it better. And even if he doesn't he at least tries something. Which could have been helpful a few minutes ago. Oh who cares. Like always we are stuck together and hopefully like always we will get out together.
At least I win for today!

Thank-you to those who reviewed! I'm glad you guys like Rick's POV because to tell you the truth he is a lot easier for me to write. Hopefully you liked Evelyn as well. Don't worry Day 3 is coming and somehow our heroes have to get out of this mess...
On some other notes I have changed the look of my Mummy page on my website. If any of you would like me to put your stories on my site I wouldn't mind. You can take a look at it and see what you think.
Also because I've been on a HUGE Ben Affleck kick I've been watching 'Pearl Harbor'. And well I've been writing fanfic for it. I have one on fanfiction.net entitled: 'Repeating' and I am writing a series as well if you are interested. It can all be seen at my site. :)
