Hey guys, sorry for the month wait. Been busy, haven't had time to write and plus could not find the inspiration to write. So I'm going to write a smallish chapter trying to get back into it. Well here comes the long wait for this chapter, have fun!

...

Soon as we got to my place. I cut his hair, which he needed. Badly. While he cleaned himself up, I was getting my bag ready for the travel. He came out shaven and clean, he looked at me getting my stuff ready. Rick curiously asked "You ready to go back there?" "Hamunaptra?" He nodded. I turned to look at him, "well, I would prefer to stay home but Evy wants us to take her. So may as well. How about you?" Rick simply answered "Just want to get in and out."

The next morning me and Rick had food, got our stuff (mostly guns, ammo, dynamite.) We were walking towards the boat, looking for Evy and Jonathan. When we got near the boat we heard voices. "….rude, a complete scoundrel – I don't like him one bit, and I'm still not sure about the women either."

Me and Rick looked at each other. Said at the same time "Anyone we know?" They both spun around, saw both of us approaching. Evy was clearly admiring Rick; I had a big grin on my face. Especially when Evy was opening and closing her mouth like a fish. "Um, hello."

Jonathan came up to Rick started to hit him on the shoulder, like he was an old friend. "Smashing day for the start of an adventure, eh O'Connell's?" While checking his pockets, "Yeah. Yeah, smashing." I was laughing at the situation, "Yeah, it's smashing!"

Jonathan started to put his hands up about to 'box' Rick "Oh, no, no, I'd never steal from a partner… partner." When he said 'partner' he jabbed his fist to Rick's face, without touching. With that I think he realises what he did yesterday. "That reminds me. No hard feelings about the –" Rick did the same action.

I think Jonathan thought he was about to get hit again, the way he moved his face away and scrunched up his face. But quickly as it came he shrugged it off "– Oh, no, no. Happens all the time." I shook my head thinking 'Looks like it happens more times than he realises. The way he's speaking'

Evy decide to step up and talk to us now, "– Mr and Miss. O'Connell. Can you both look me in the eye and guarantee me this isn't some kind of a flimflam? – Because if it is, I am warning you both –" I raised my eyebrow and turned to Rick as he said "- You're warning us? Lady, let us put it this way..." I spoke up "… Our whole damn garrison believed in this so much…"

"- That without orders, they marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt to find that city…"

"- When we got there all we found… was sand and blood." We both finished our rant. "Let me get your bags." I grabbed mine and Rick's bags, while he got their bags and we got on to the boat.
