We walked to the library which was still a mess, and we went to the very front of the library. There was a shelf which had not been touched by the fallen shelves. The Curator took out a pair of keys and unlocked the book shelf and ran his fingers along the spine of the books. His finger stopped on a book the said Nefertiry and Nefertiti. He opened the book and pointed out a picture of a girl who looked young and just like me. In fact she was the girl from my dream!

Curator: Nefertiry and Nefertiti were sisters and princesses. Nefertiti had the rights to the throne but Nefertiry had powers so powerful, it is said she could destroy the earth if she wanted. She had never known about them before. She disappeared a little after her father was murdered. The last anyone had seen of her was with this man.

He showed me a picture of the man, who was stunningly handsome and just happened to be the man from my dream.

Curator: It is said that he fell in love with her, and vowed to protected her. He was the pharaoh's lead ma-jia. It is also said that he took her deep into the desert with a few other ma-jias to help watched over Imhotep's tomb. You've heard of that story right?

Alexa: Yes, that's who that was in my dream.

Curator: You've dreamt this?

Alexa: Yes, I was Nefertiry in my dream and the ma-jia was with me, then we heard cries for help and saw the shadow of the pharaoh being murdered by a woman and a man.

Curator: Yes, the woman name is Anck-su-namun. She was supposed to be the pharaoh's mistress but fell in love with Imhotep instead.

Alexa: Do you think that I am somehow related to this Nefertiry?

Curator: Well, judging by the dreams you've been having, I'd say you are her.

We began to walk back to his office, Evy and Jonathan still talking about Hamunaptra. They didn't even notice us leave or get back. The Curator took the map out of Jonathan's hands and sat at his desk. He lit some candles on his desk so he could see the map more clearly.

Curator: Oh My Goodness!

I saw the map on fire. The map floated to the ground with Evy and Jonathan after it. They patted the fire out and looked at the damaged map.

Jonathan: You burnt it! You burnt the part of the lost city!

Curator: It's for the best I'm sure.


We winded up walking through a prison. This man led us through it.

Warden: Come, come! Step over the threshold. Welcome to Cairo Prison, my humble home.

Evy: You told me you got it on a dig down in Thebes.

Jonathan: Yes well, I was mistaken.

Evy: You lied to me.

Jonathan: I lie to everybody. What makes you so special?

Evy: I am your sister.

Jonathan: Yes well, that makes you more gullible.

Alexa: Jonathan, you stole it from a drunk at the local casbah.

Jonathan: Picked his pocket actually so I don't think it's a very good idea . . .

Evy: Stop being so ridiculous . . .

Alexa: Now what exactly is this man in prison for?

Warden: This I do not know. But when I heard you were coming, I asked him myself.

Evy: And what did he say?

Warden: He said he was just looking for a good time.

A few guards brought out a man with some what long brown hair, and pushed him against the bars.

Alexa: This- This is the man you stole it from?

Jonathan: Yes exactly so why don't we just go sniff a spot of Tiffin . . .

Man: Who are you? And who are the broads?

Alexa Broads?

Jonathan: I- I'm just a local sort of missionary chap, spreading the good word. These are my sisters, Evy and Alexa.

Man: Oh well, I guess they're not a total loss.

Alexa: Excuse me?

Evy: I beg your pardon?

Jonathan pushes Evy and I closer to the bars. The Warden leaves to go assist someone else.

Jonathan: (whispering) Ask him about the box.

Alexa: We've um . . . all found your puzzle box and have come to ask you about it.

Man: No.

Evy: No?

Man: No. You came to ask me about Hamunaptra.

Jonathan: Shh. Shh.

Alexa: H- How do you know the box pertains to Hamunaptra?

Man: Because that's where I was when I found it. I was there.

Jonathan walks straight up the man behind the bars.

Jonathan: But how do we know that's not a load of pig's wallow?

Man: You know? Do I know you?

Jonathan: No, I've just got one of those faces . . .

The man punched Jonathan in the face. Jonathan went down to the ground. I stepped over him.

Evy: (whispering) What are you doing?

Alexa: You were actually at Hamunaptra?

Man: (smiling) Yeah I was there.

Alexa: You swear.

Man: Every day.

Alexa: No, I didn't mean that . . .

Man: I know what you meant, I was there. Seti's place? City of the Dead?

Alexa: Could you tell us how to get there? I mean the exact location.

Man: You want to know?

Alexa: Well, yes.

He fingered me to get closer as if it was a secret. He grabbed my chin and kissed me.

Man: Then, get me out of here! Do it Lady!

The guards grabbed him and took him through the back door.

Alexa: Where are they taking him?

Warden: To be hanged, apparently he had a very good time.

Evy and I followed to Warden to the court yard where they were getting ready to hand him. The spectators were all chanting and shouting as the noose was getting ready. Evy and I sat next to the Warden.

Evy: I will give you 100 pounds to save this man's life.

Warden: Madame, I would pay 100 pounds just to see him hang.

Evy: Two-two hundred pounds!

Warden: Proceed.

Evy: Three hundred pounds!

The man put the noose over the man head and tighten it. The man yelled to the warden something in Arabic.

Warden: Yahemar! Of course we do not let him go!

Evy: Five hundred pounds!

Warden: And what else? I am a very lonely man.

He put his hand on her leg, but she slapped it with her purse.

Warden: Yalla tlak!

Evy: No!

The floor board beneath the man swung open and the man fell and begun to choke and sputter as the noose tighten on his neck.

Warden: Ha ha! His neck did not break! Oh, I'm so sorry, now we must watch him strangle to death.

Alexa: He knows the location to Hamunaptra.

Warden: You lie!

Alexa: I would never!

Warden: Are you telling me this filthy, godless son of a pig knows where to find the City of the Dead?

Alexa: Yes! And if you cut him down, we will give you . . .

Evy: Ten percent.

Warden: Fifty percent.

Evy: Twenty.

Warden: Forty.

Evy: Thirty.

Warden: Twenty-five!

Evy: Ah! Deal!

Warden: Aah! Cut him down!

After that episode, we bought tickets to get on a boat to go across the Nile. At 9:00 in the morning we set off to meet the man who we found out is Rick O' Connell.

Evy: Do you really think he's going to show up?

Jonathan: Yes, undoubtedly, knowing my luck. He may be a cowboy but I know the breed. His word is his word.

Alexa: Well, personally I think he's filthy, rude, a complete scoundrel. I don't like him one bit.

Rick: Anyone I know?

Evy: Oh, hello.
