We found a place to dig, sadly it's on top of us. Jonathan and Rick had their tools out, Evie had her little chisel out to help. I was just sitting down watching them do their job, consider me an observer; plus, this place gives me the creeps. Evie was instructing them where the statue is. "According to these hieroglyphics... we're underneath the statue. We should come up right between his legs." I smirked and replied "I never knew you were that type of woman Evie." She blushed.
They kept on digging. Jonathan started talking, "When those damn Yanks go to sleep – no offense –" Looking at me and Rick, we just shrugged together replied "None taken." "– We'll dig out way up and steal that book right out from under them." Rick being clueless asked Evie, "Are you sure we can find this secret compartment thing?"
"Oh, yes, if those beastly Americans haven't beaten us to it. – No offense." Quickly to us. "None taken." Jonathan looked around. "Where's out smelly little friend get to?" Curious. "I don't know, but I was wondering how I could breathe better." I said laughing slightly, they just looked at me with small smiles on their faces. Rick just had a massive grin.
Jonathan then got bored, decided to play golf with the equipment. While Evie was telling us about Mummification. "Let me get this straight. They ripped out your guts and stuffed them in jars." Rick said being confused and strangely interested. "They'd take out your heart as well. You know how they took out your brain?" Evie excitedly wanting to say it. Jonathan butted in quickly, "I don't think we need to know this." I put my hand up interested "I do."
They looked at me weirdly, "What?" Evie carried on, "They'd take a sharp, red-hot poker, stick it up your nose… scramble things about a bit and then rip it all out through your nostrils." Doing hand gestures, while explaining it. I just simply smirked "Nice." Rick just held his nose like he was in pain. "That's got to hurt." Evie explained, "It's called mummification. You'll be dead when they do this."
"I should bloody hope so." I remarked. Rick looked at me and Jonathan, "For the record. If I don't make it out of here, don't put me down for mummification." Jonathan agreed, "Likewise." When Jonathan said that he hit a rock and something just come down from the ceiling, covering us with dust. Coughing and in shock I blurted out, "What the bloody hell was that?"
Evie stood up, looking at that thing that fell. "Oh, my god. It's a – it's a sarcophagus. Buried at the base of Anubis." She said looking up at the ceiling, "He must have been someone of great importance. Or he did something very naughty." "I bet you ten bucks he did something naughty." I put in.
We started looking around the sarcophagus. Started to brush down the sand, Jonathan asked "Well, who is it?" Evie answered "He Who Shall Not Be Named." I just rolled my eyes, "Really that helps." Rick blew the sand off and pointed out at something on there. "This looks like some sort of lock." "Well, whoever's in here sure wasn't getting out." Rick remarked "Yeah, no kidding. It'd take us a month to crack into this thing without a key."
I retorted, "That helps a lot, so do you know where the key is?" Evie just blurted out, "A key? A key! A key!" I was confused, "Jonathan? I think your sister has lost it." Evie ignored me, "That's what he was talking about!" Rick looking, if I might say quite jealous. "Who?" Evie run behind us, grabbing something out of the bag. "The man – The man on the barge. The one with the hook. He was looking for a key."
She showed is an old looking, can I say weird looking key. Jonathan saw what she had, "Hey, that's mine." I smirked at look at Jonathan, "Sorry to say Jonathan, that is ours." Laughing. She opened the key, which I must say looked awesome. She slotted into place, with a massive smile. She looked at Rick, he had the same smile back. As the moment was there, it went soon as we heard screaming. Someone in pain. Me and Rick automatically grabbed our guns, running towards the scream.
As soon as we turned the corner, we saw the Warden screaming with his hands on his head, running passed us and into a wall. Dead. We were just staring in shock.
