Chapter 2
EVYS POV
"Where are they taking him?" I implied the warden.
"To be hanged. Apparently he had a very good time." The warden responded, emphasizing 'very.'
RICKS POV
I was forced onto the platform, and stood on the door as they slipped the rope around my neck. "Any last requests, pig?" The hangman asked me in his annoying accent.
"Yeah, loosen the knot and let me go." He then yelled something up to the warden in arabic. I soon felt a slap in the back of my head. Everything after that was a blur, because the door suddenly gave way. I fought to stay concious as I tried to breathe. I dropped to the ground and looked up at the Evelyn. She smiled at me, and at that very moment I knew I had fallen for her. They let me go, and I walked out of the prison to meet with Evelyn and Jonathan. "Thanks lady." I said, trying to be nice.
"You're welcome." She responded a small grin spreading across her face. I saw her face flush as I gave her a small smile. I then turned my attention to Jonathan.
"Well then, I guess we should get down to business, chop chop." Jonathan said, sensing my nervousness.
"I think we should meet in Giza Port tomorrow morning around 10 o'clock." Evelyn said off the top of her head.
"Sounds fine to me," I replied. We both turned to Jonathan.
"Well that should do, then." He said.
EVYS POV
After we negotiated that, We went home, had supper, and packed. Before we knew it it was time for bed. But for some odd reason I couldn't sleep. My mind was busy concentrating on the kiss at the prison. Why did he kiss me? Did he like me? Did he want me? My mind raced with these questions. I'll ask him tomorrow when we are going to start our journey to Hamunaptra. In the mean time...
"Rise and shine, Evy ole girl!" Jonathan said cheerily, already dressed and ready to go.
"All right, I'll get up. Why don't you go down to the casbah while I get ready? I'll meet you at the port at 10 o'clock." I suggested.
"Okay, I'll be there!" Jonathan said enthusiastically. I wondered what to wear in the presence of that rude, dispicable, charming... whoa! When did that pop in! Charming? What was I thinking? I shook the thought out of my head, and finally chose a nice dress out of my wardrobe. I slipped on my shoes, grabbed my bags, and headed out the door. I walked down to the casbah to meet Jonathan. I saw him talking to a man that I couldn't quite recognize. Where have I seen that face before? I know I've seen it somewhere. As the man left I walked up to Jonathan and told him it was time to go. We walked out of the casbah and headed over to Giza Port.
I was rambling on about how much I hated O'Connell when he came up behind us.
"Anyone I know?" He asked. I couldn't help but stare at him. He had gotten a haircut, and bought some new clothes. Then Jonathan started babbling nonsense to O'Connell. Then it hit me- that man talking to Jonathan in the casbah was him!
RICKS POV
I couldn't help but stare at Evelyn. She's so beaut- I stopped myself before I could go any further in my thoughts.
"Can you look me in the eye and garuntee this isn't some sort of flim flam, because if it is, I'm warning you-" Evelyn started. Only for me to cut her off.
"You're warning me? Lady, my whole damn garrison believed in this so much that without orders, we marched halfway accross Lybia and into Egypt to find that city. And when we got there, all we found was sand and blood. Let me get your bags." I said in one breath. I walked off with her bags, when I heard Jonathan.
"Yes, yes... complete scoundral, nothing to like there at all..." He said slyly to Evelyn, whom I had left speechless. I smiled to myself at the mere thought. I walked onto the boat and found Evelyn and Jonathan right behind me.
"Where to?" I asked pointing to the bags in my hands.
"Um... room 38. Right over here." She led me to her room and I set the bags down. She gave me a little grin and muttered a thanks, and I felt my heart melt. I left her then, and went to go to my room and get settled.
A/N: sry this is a short chapter... I'll make the next ones longer... r&r!
