"NIGEL!!!" Sydney shouted at him.

Nigel fell with a loud thud unto the sandy floor. "Oomph!" He said.

"Are you all right?" Sydney ran towards him as the arrows were finally thinning out.

"Yes I'm fine. But I can't say much about my end though," He said while getting up and dusting himself.

"Well than let's get out of here shall we?"

"Yes let's."

Sydney and Nigel ran out of the cave as the ceiling started to give way. "Hurry up Nigel!!" Sydney shouted trying to be heard over the sound of the crashing rocks that were raining over them.

Nigel picked up his speed, as he held on tight to the relic that was already safely wrapped with cloth. "Coming!"

The both of them reached the outside world just in the nick of time as the whole place finally collapsed.

Sydney lifted her head from the ground and looked behind them at what was used to be the resting place of the sword. "You okay Nigel?"

Nigel lifted his head and spitted out grass that was in his mouth. "Yes very fine thank you after all we just nearly got ourselves killed again!!"

"Relax Nigel, after all it is just another usual day for you and me," she said grinning.

All Nigel did was let out a sigh and followed Sydney to the car.

"So this was what you guys risked you lives for?" Karen asked as Nigel unwrapped the relic.

"Yes and it was worth it," Sydney said walking into the office.

"What's so great about it?"

"Well this is the sword that was used by Doge Enrico Dandolo in the fourth crusade in the 13 century," Nigel answered as he inspected it. "It was used by him as he conquered Constantinople. It is believed that this sword has magical abilities and can only be used by him alone. It was than stolen and was hidden by the thieves. But strangely though the when the thieves were found, all of them had died and the only clue was the strange map they had and we solved the mystery."

"But I only see that sword. Unless I'm wrong, don't swords have a scabbard?"

"Well yes, but this one doesn't. Apparently Dandolo was so upset that his sword was never to be found that he hid the scabbard as well." Sydney answered.

"Talk about touchy."

"Anyway the sword is going to the museum today so hand it over Nigel," Sydney said.

"Nigel?" Sydney looked at Nigel as he stared at the sword. His eyes looked as if they were a million miles away. He didn't even acknowledged Sydney.

"Nigel!!" Sydney said this time a lot louder.

"Oh, um yes?" He finally said.

"The sword." Sydney stretched out her arm for it.

"It's strange but I feel as if I shouldn't let the sword go. I…"

"Are you all right?" Karen asked looking concerned.

"Yes, yes. Here, take it Syd." Nigel said giving it to Sydney.

"Okay so I'll be gone for a while. You can handle everything right Nigel?" Sydney asked already putting on her coat.

"Of course."

"Then see you guys."

Sydney was already walking out and didn't hear Karen and Nigel answering back.
