Chapter Eight: Road Games

:::-:::-:::

So after adjusting Amber's holsters, the group set of to a place where, according to Rick, could help then catch up with the people who took Alex and Kaylee. Along the way, Amber's road games were getting a little interesting.

"You have to tell the truth, Rick. No half-truths!" Amber commanded.

"I hate this game." Rick muttered.

"Oh, come on. Truth or Dare is fun!" Amber smiled.

"Fun for whom?" Naylor muttered wiping of the bright red lips stick kiss on his cheek. Sadly enough the kiss didn't come from Eve or Amber.

"Oh, come on you liked it!" Ardeth said wiping the lipstick off his lips.

"Stay away from me." Naylor commanded.

"That was a little funny." Rick said.

"Hey, are we even close to being there?" Naylor said changing the subject quickly.

"What's the matter Naylor, chickening out?" Eve said with a raised eyebrow.

"No, I just chose not to dignify this game with my participation any longer." Naylor replied professionally.

"What?" Rick said completely lost.

"It means he quits." Amber giggled. "And I win!"

"No, you haven't finished asking Rick your question." Eve pointed out.

"And I don't quit! I'm just not participating anymore!" Naylor shouted.

"Fine, Rick what did you dream of last night and be honest. I can tell when people are lying." Amber said with a wicked grin. "And you're a quitter Naylor."

"Arg!" Naylor said rolling his eyes.

Rick stalled; he couldn't tell everyone that he had dreamed of Amber last night instead his wife Eve. "Um…well,"

"He's stalling! It must be a good one." Amber said leaning foreword to place her head on the back of the front seat.

"Amber, give the man some space." Naylor said grabbing her belt loop and tugging her back down onto the seat.

Rick was just about to answer when they arrived at their destination, "Oh, look we're here."

Amber groaned loudly and crossed her arms over her chest as the car came to a stop in front of Magic Carpet Airways. "Magic carpet, I thought you were joking." Amber said.

"You'd be surprised how honest I can be." Rick said getting out of the car.

"Yeah, we'll see! You still haven't answered my question!" Amber yelled.

"Look, there's out guy." Rick said ignoring Amber's comment. "Izzy!"

The man named, Izzy was a rather short and scruff looking individual. But when he caught glance of Rick walking up he panicked and ran into a building and slammed the doors shut. Eve and the other s had just gotten out of the car, when Amber piped up. "He doesn't seem happy to see you."

"He's just shy." Rick said.

"Excuse me, you'll have to leave." A female's voice said from behind the door.

"What, where's Izzy. We need to talk to him." Rick said.

"Sorry, Izzy isn't here; you'll have to come back later." The voice said.

"Wait a minute, I know that voice." Amber said walking up to the door.

"I-I said go away." The voice said nervously.

"Tiffany?" Amber asked.

"Tiffany?" Naylor gasped.

"Tiffany!! Wait, who's Tiffany?" Jonathan said in mock surprise.

The door swung open and a slender woman of 23 walked out. "Amber, Naylor? Is that really you!?"

"Tiffany," Amber said hugging her. "What on earth are you doing here?"

"Didn't Kaylee tell you, I moved her about a year ago to get my History credit?"

"Nobody tells us anything anymore!" Naylor said.

"Hello! We're in a bit of a hurry, so if you could explain who you are already." Rick said impatiently.

"Rick, this is Kaylee's younger sister, Tiffany." Amber said wrapping an arm around her.

"Great, another one," Jonathan said. "Maybe this one won't get kidnapped."

"Kidnapped, Kaylee's kidnapped!" Tiffany demanded.

"Yes, along with their son, Alex." Amber motioned to Rick and Eve, "Tiff, we need to speak to Izzy. He's the only one who can help us."

"Oh, yes. Come in." Tiffany said. "Izzy, we have company!" She shouted as she opened the door.

"Woman, I told you to send them away. Not invite them in for tea!"

"Izzy, my sister has been kidnapped along with their son, you get out here and make you're self useful for once." Tiffany shouted. "Excuse the mess, we're in the middle of remodeling."

"We? What's with the we?" Naylor asked.

"Oh, Kaylee didn't tell you…oh, that's right she never tells you anything. Izzy and I are engaged."

"Engaged!?" Rick and Amber said at the same time.

"Yes and how do you know Izzy?" She asked Rick.

"He's the one that got me shot in the ass!" Izzy said appearing.

"Oh," Tiffany blushed.

"You got someone shot in the ass?" Amber snapped.

Rick made an innocent look, "It was forever ago."

Izzy ran up to Rick waving a disapproving finger at him, "It was ten years ago."

"Like I said forever ago," Rick said.

"So you're getting married to my best friends' sister." Amber said getting up in Izzy's face.

Izzy looked at Tiffany, "You never told me you had a sister. No one tells me anything anymore." The looked back at Amber and said slowly, "Yes…"

Amber threw her arms around him with a giggle, "Congratulations!"

"Nice talking to you Amber." Naylor said.

"Oh, come on Naylor. This is great and if Kaylee wasn't kidnapped by a living mummy, she'd probably be so proud."

"Pretty girl say what?" Izzy said.

"Oh, wait was I supposed to wait to tell him that."

"It would've been nice." Rick sighed.

:::-:::-:::

Alex and Kaylee were forced on a train first thing in the morning with their new 'babysitter' Lock-Nah.

"Sit down and be quite!" He barked at them the moment the got on the train.

"Dude, chill out, It's like five o'clock in the morning. Give us a break." Kaylee snapped.

"You have no room to talk. You're not the one we need anyway." He growled.

Kaylee looked out the window and saw Imhotep walk by with Anuck-su-namun by his side. He looked at her for a moment before continuing off to another compartment. "Sorry, you're annoying voice made my mind wander, what were you saying?"

"Sit down before I make you sit down."

"Lock-Nah," Anuck-su-namun said walking through the door. Kaylee's heart raced, hoping it would be a command from Imhotep to see her. "Imhotep wishes to speak to the boy." Kaylee frowned and Anuck-su-namun noticed, "Get over it."

"Speaking of getting over things…" Kaylee stepped foreword, "You must have had real abandonment issues growing up."

Lock-Nah escorted Alex to see Imhotep and left Kaylee alone with Anuck-su-namun, "You're little friend won't be around much longer if you keep up with the attitude."

"Alex, can handle himself with or with out me, but with me…I just make things more interesting."

"We shall see how interesting you are when that bracelet he's wearing sucks his very soul out of his body."

"Psycho lady say what?" Kaylee said.

"Oh, Imhotep neglected to mention that." She made a fake pout. "If we don't stay on track and on schedule, little Alex will be bone dry in five days."

Kaylee glared at her, "So what are you saying?"

"I'm saying don't try anything stupid that may get him or better yet you…killed." She took a dangerous step towards her and threw her the bottle of elixir Imhotep had used the other night. "See how brave you man was, and then tell me if he's worth all of this trouble you're causing."
