"Nigel are you…Nigel?" Sydney looked around the room for a sign of her friend. "Nigel?" Sydney looked out into the hall, then went back into Nigel's room. Sydney picked up the scroll from where it lay, out of the box and unraveled on the floor by Nigel's bed. She picked the relic up and put the box on Nigel's bed and turned and went back into her room. Sydney picked up her knife and put it in its sheath on her boot. As she was getting her crossbow, Nigel's phone rang. Sydney ran back into her friend's room and picked up the phone. "Nigel?" She asked hopefully. On the other line she heard and unfamiliar voice say "Tell her!" the she heard Nigel say "Ow! Fine! I'll tell Sydney!"

"Nigel?" Sydney said into the phone again, "Nigel where are you?" Sydney heard a sigh and then Nigel came onto the phone. "Syd…Sydney? They want you to bring the scroll to the sphinx…" Nigel cut off, and another voice came on. "By sunrise!" and the phone went dead. Sydney looked at the phone, before hanging it up and walking out the door.

Two short chapters, I know, but hopefully I can get this story going again in the next chapter. For the reviewer who asked, I'll try to fix the paragraphs. Sorry it took so long to get this part up!
