Imhotep: Sueh!- You! -
Imhotep ran to get a blue vase while Rick and Evy were on their way up the stairs. Imhotep was saying something as sand came out of the vase . . . . and formed four worrier mummies! Rick and Evy were with us by that time.
Rick: Ah! Not these guys again!
We all ran out the door, through the room full of mummies, down the stairs and out the other door. We ran out to Rick's car.
Rick: What the . . .? Where's Jonathan?
Then a bus came screeching around the corner. It was Jonathan.
Rick: What's the matter with my car?
Jonathan: I was forced to find another source of transportation.
Rick: A Double -Decker Bus?
Jonathan: W-well . . it was his idea!
He pointed to little Alex.
Alex: Was not!
Jonathan: Was too!
Alex: Was not!
Rick: Just Go!
Jonathan on the gas as I jumped on the bus. Ardeth jumped on as the bus was moving. The mummies chased after us by jumping on the sides of the buildings we past. Rick and Evy went up to the second deck while Ardeth, Alex and I were on the bottom. Jonathan zoomed back and forth through London. A mummy came on board and began hitting Ardeth. The mummy knocked the gun out of Ardeth's hand and began beating him and punching him. The mummy finally knocked him into a seat and had him cornered. The mummy's fingernails grew about 6 inches long.
Ardeth: Ahhhh!
I pulled out my gun, cocked the hammer, and put it to the mummy's head all in less than 2 seconds . . . I don't even know how I got there. I was right next to Alex in the back of the bus.
Alexa: Nigh, I don't think so . . . .
I pulled the trigger and the mummy blew up into sand as he once was and blew away.
Alexa: Are you alright?
Ardeth: This . . . . was my first bus ride . . .(smile)
Alexa: Well, then I congratulate thee . . . (grin)
I offered him my hand to help him up and he took it.
Alexa: I'm sure that mummy enjoyed it more than you . . . (smile)
Ardeth: What got you over here so quickly I didn't even see you move . . then all of a sudden you were right here.
Alexa: I don't know . . .
Ardeth: Perhaps you also have Nefertiry's ability to speed up time . . .
I looked around . . . I noticed it was quite . . . .
Alexa: Where's Alex?
I looked out the bus window and saw Loc-Nah shove him in a car
Alexa: Alex! Nigh! Rick! Rick! Their taking Alex!
Rick ran down the stairs and out the bus door after the car.
Rick: Alex! No!
The bridge began to open for a boat to pass beneath. Rick jumped to the very edge of the bridge and watched the car drive off with his son. I ran out of the bus to Rick as Ardeth followed. Rick was walking back sobbing. Evy came running to Rick's arms.
Rick; I'll get him back Evy. . I promise.
I walked over to Ardeth . . . my eyes got teary . . .
Alexa: It's my fault . . . I should have been watching him . . .
Ardeth lifted my chin . . . .
Ardeth: It was not your fault . . . . it is fate that has made this happen . . . . not fault.
We drove the bus back to the O'Connell Manor. We walked inside the house . . .
Evy: Oh! Look at my house! This place is such a wreck! And look! A blood stain on the wall! Ugh!
Alexa: . . . . .(blush) . . . . . .
Ardeth: Evelyn . . . that's Alexa's blood . . . .
Jonathan: Alexa . . . . . my god . . . . you look pale . . . .
Evy: How much blood has she lost?
Rick: She's still loosing a lot a blood!
Alexa: (arg) Is it safe for me to let the pain show now? (wince)
My stomach was in excruciating pain. I collapsed on the floor holding my stomach. I began screaming in pain . . .
Evy: Ardeth, Rick! Pick her up and carry herto theguest bedroom!
I was in so much pain that I didn't even realize I was already in a bed.
Evy: Rick, get all of the medicine out of our medicine cabinet . . including the shots of Lidocane! Ardeth get a lot of towels! Jonathan! . . . . . Jonathan where are you!
Jonathan came out of the bedroom closet . . . .
Evy: What on earth were you doing in there!
Jonathan: I can stand all the bloody screaming and the bloody . . . . . . blood!
Evy: Please, I need your help!
Jonathan: ( gulp) alright . . . . .a-alright what do you need?
Evy: Find me some of your fishing wire and a needle!
Jonathan: What do you need that for!
Evy: Jonathan!
Jonathan: ok, ok ,ok . . . a-aright!
He runs out of the room. He comes back a few minutes later along with Rick and Ardeth.
Jonathan: Tell me what are you going to do with this?
Evy: Well I have to close up the wound somehow!
Jonathan: Forget I asked . . . .(turning pale)
Evy: Ok . . . out! Out! Out! Everybody out!
She shoved everyone out of the room and slammed the door in their faces. She walked beside my bed. I was so weak now from loosing so much blood and screaming . . . that I could even move . . much less talk . . . . The pain was just as bad though . . .
Evy: I knew we would need these shots one of these days . . . between Jonathan and Rick . . .I never expected you . . .
She gave me two shots of the Lidocane and waited about 30 minutes . . .
Evy: Is you stomach numb yet?
Alexa: Nigh . . .
Evy: Can you feel this?
Alexa: Feel what?
Evy: Ah-hah! You are numb! Ok . . . . . this wound is very deep. Luckily, the sword had missed all your organs, ribs and backbone. How? I have no idea . . . it's a miracle. But the sword was less then a centimeter from breaking through the skin on you back. I'm going to have to hand sew you . . . and it will take a very long time to heal . . . .
Alexa: Allah, men fadalak hot ana Ithna noum.- God, please put me to sleep. -
Evy: Yall in haza. -Let's do this. -
