Chapter 3:The Problem
Rick grabbed his gun out of the night stand and order Evy to go get Alex. Carefully Rick walked down to the 1st floor. Evy and Alex walked close behind. The door bell rang again. Rick prepared to make his move when he heard a worried but familiar voice. "O'Connell please open up, it's important," said their old friend Ardeth Bay. They all sighed with relief. Rick put his guns down and opened the door. "Please tell me your here for a cup of tea," said Rick "I wish I was but unfortunately my presents here are not good," said their friend Just then Jonathan stumbled in with a brandy in his hand. "What the bloody hell is going on in here?" he said rubbing his eye with his free hand. After he got a look at who was in the front door he screamed. "No!! I don't care if he's back. It's time for someone else to take care of him," said Jonathan as he looked as sober as ever. "My friends, please set down," said Ardeth They all got convertible on the couch, preparing for the worst. "The creature has...."started Ardeth "Don't say it, we already know," said Alex "What has he done so far?" asked Rick "He's stolen the Healing stone of Egypt," said Ardeth "No! Why would he want that?" asked Evelyn "Do you guys normally talk at 3 o'clock in the morning?" said a voice behind them "Lizzy!" said Rick walking over to her looking for any cuts. "Rick, you're hugging me like I'll break," she said "I just wanted to make sure you're all right," he said Ardeth cleared his trough. "I'm sorry. Ardeth this is my sister Elizabeth, but call her Lizzy," said Rick "Hi," said Lizzy as she shook his hand "Lizzy this is Ardeth Bay our friend that only comes around when a certain thing is on the lose," said Rick "Could this thing be named Imhotep?" asked Lizzy "How'd you know, he hasn't confronted you has he," said Rick with a worried look. "No, calm down. I helped Jonathan into bed because he came down the hall drunk this morning and he poured his heart out including your encounter with a 3,000 year old mummy," said Lizzy "Jonathan!!" everyone yelled "I'm sorry but the girls got a right to know," he said "O'Connell, Evelyn I'm afraid I have more bad news. Imhotep has offered to trade the Healing stone for something but you're not going to like it," said Ardeth. Evelyn felt every bone in her body tighten up. "What is it?" ask Rick not really wanting to hear the answer All eyes where on Ardeth. He slowly raised his hand and pointed at Lizzy.
