Ashley sneaked into the museum's loading dock and saw the Khfulun lookalike with the sarcophagus. Ashley pulled out her phone and turned on it's camera.
The coffin was being loaded onto a forklift and put into the truck. A guy in shades gave an envelope to the man, he smirked. "As always, it's a pleasure doing business with you, gentlemen."
Ashley screamed as she was grabbed from behind and lifted up. Ashley tried struggled to break free, "Let me go!" she shouted.
"Hey, boss! Caught this kid snooping around, she saw everything."
The boss walked up and took Ashley's phone. "No problem, we'll take her and the phone."
But the phone was snatched out of his hands. "What the?-"
A loud scream was heard followed by a greenish glow. The man saw his big goon fall down with a crisp burn on his chest. Ashley smiled as she was now free.
The man turned when he heard another scream, the dealer was wrapped with something and spun like a top, collapsing on the ground.
"What is going on here?!" the suited man shrieked.
Ashley pointed behind him, he turned around and screamed in terror.
Mums was standing on a crate, looming over the horrified man. Several of Mums' bandages came alive and uncoiled off his body, twisting like snakes as the mummy raised his fists and roared, "KHUFULUN! MEET YOUR DOOOOOOM!"
The man screamed at the top of his lungs.
Ashley giggled to herself as she watched Mums chase 'Khfulun' all around the room, making him scream like a scared little girl.
Mums stretched out two straps of gauze and grabbed the man by the ankles and gave them a strong jerk, making his victim fall flat on his face.
The mad mummy approached, glaring down at the man. He let out a whimper before he begged, "P-Please, don't hurt me!"
"Now where's the fun in that?" Mums growled.
Mums heard someone's throat clear, he looked over and saw Ashley with her arms folded, giving him a dirty look.
Mums blinked. "Uh, I mean, why just end you? When I can give you the same treatment as me?!" he proclaimed. He shot his arms forward, unleashing a barrage of bandages at the man.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Mums stood proud like he just won the Olympics. Ashley sighed and shook her head. The so called Khfulun was wrapped from head to toe, like he was now mummified.
Ashley gasped, "Oh, snap! We forgot about the sarcophagus!"
"No need for that."
Ashley and Mums looked over and saw the forklift carrying the sarcophagus back to the unloading dock! Two men wearing what looked like safari outfits were driving the lift.
"What?! You two again?!" Mums shouted.
"What?! Those two?! What's going on here?!" Ashley exclaimed.
When a third person came in, Ashley took a few steps back in shock. It was a mummy in a long white dress decorated with golden jewels and accessories on her wrists, neck, and Egyptian headdress.
But what's most disturbing, she looked exactly like Mums, she even had the same missing eye.
"Mom?!" Mums gasped.
"Mom?!" Ashley echoed. She couldn't believe it, it was Mums' mommy, and she looked exactly like her son, only taller.
"That's right, Mums!" she said with glee. She grabbed Mums with a back breaking hug. "I saw the whole thing! I'm so proud of you!"
"But who are these guys?!" Ashley pointed at the two safari men.
They got off the forklift. "I'm Lord T.N. Crumpets."
"And I'm Carter Howard. We're the archeologists who discovered Mums back in Egypt."
"That's right, they're the ones who woke me up!" Mums said. "But what are you clowns doing here?"
Mums' mom cleared her throat. "Well, you see Son, the museum's relics have been missing for weeks! So we set up this Khfulun scam to find the culprit."
"Yeah, she called us to report to the museum that we found Khfulun's body to lure the thief out of hiding." Crumpets explained.
"And by the looks of it, the plan worked like a charm!" Carter added.
"But what about the dealer who took it?!" Ashley said.
The mommy mummy lifted the sarcophagus revealing the dealer all wrapped up in bandages to go.
Ashley blinked. "Oh..."
"Wow, I never thought you archeologists would do this just for me." Mums said.
"We were glad to help." replied Crumpets.
"And your mummy threatened to eat our brains if we didn't help." Carter put in, earning a smack from his colleague.
Back at Hillhurst, everyone was in the parlor watching the news.
"This is Rose Witworth, live from the Charterville Museum where two archologists have thwarted an international crime ring. Professor Tepton has been stealing rare artifacts from his own museum and selling them on the black market."
The camera showed the two dealers and the big goon being escorted to the back of a police car. The professor was the last to enter. But not without a final word,
"Listen! Listen to me! I'm telling you! A-A mummy attacked me!" he cried with a panicked voice.
"Looks like the professor's already working on his insanity plea." the reporter commented. She turned to Crumpets and Carter. "I'm here with Lord T.N. Crumpets and his assistant Carter Howard who came up with this plan to catch the thieves."
"It was a challenge, but if not for our brilliant planning and sense of timing, none of thin would be possible." Crumpets boasted.
"Can you believe these guys?" Mums deadpanned.
"Well, people wouldn't feel comfortable knowing that living mummies and witches are walking their streets, now would they?" Ashley asked.
Mums heaved a sigh. "Well, at least I've got my sarcophagus back."
Fangula wrapped his arms around Ashley and smiled, she turned around and she shared a kiss with her boyfriend. "I'm just glad those meatheads didn't hurt you, Baby."
She smiled at him. "I can take care of myself, but I'm glad you care, Honey."
Mrs. Mums' eye widened when she saw the vampire hug the witch and kiss her and she kissed him back.
After a gut-wrenchingly good dinner, the mummy's mommy was ready to leave. "Well, it certainly has been an exciting visit, but it's time for me to go."
"It was nice meeting you, ma'am." Ashley said.
"And may I say it was a pleasure meeting you, Ashley. Mums told a lot about you in his letters, and you're everything he described. I thank you for taking care of my little baby."
"Mom!" Mums pouted. Ashley giggled.
"Oh, Flabber, can you help me with some luggage I forgot?"
"Sure thing."
Flabber and Mrs. Mums were in the foyer. The phasm looked around. "I don't see any luggage here..."
"That's because I don't have any." she said. "I need to talk to you about something."
Flabber was looking pretty nervous right now.
"Why was Fangula kissing Ashley? A vampire and a witch together?!" the mummy hissed. "Should we allow this to happen?!"
Flabber agreed. "Yes, I know a witch and a vampire are the most unlikely of couples, but Ashley is not like other witches. I think there's hope in the magic world with these two together."
Mrs. Mums seemed hesitant, but sighed. "If you say so..."
The two came back to the door. Mums gave his mommy a hug. "I'll miss you, Mom."
"And I'll miss you too, sweetie."
Eveyone said their last goodbyes as the taxi pulled up and Mrs. Mums drove away.
"She sure was nice." Ashley said.
"Hard to believe she was Mums' mommy." Fangula joked. "But she smelt just as bad!" he whispered in Ashley's ear, the two laughed while Mums frowned.
