Chapter 3

THEYRE MAKING A THIRD NATIONAL TREASURE! It is due to come out in 2014 and have the original cast. Sadly, this is rumored to be the last NT movie. At least the last one with the original cast. There is no plot for the movie, just a rumor that it may be about page 47 and the book of secrets. On another note I just realized how ironic my story title is. Like a Pool(e) in Egypt. You may not fine it ironic and funny, but I do. Have a done a disclaimer recently? No. I haven't. I'll do a fun one cause I'm bored.

IVE EDITED THIS CHAPTER A LOT. There are a lot of changes, but this is based off the same chapter three as before.

Riley's POV

Sandstorm. The henchman holding me let go and I immediately ran over to Abigail and Ben. I put me hood up just as the sand came over us. I could barely see, but Abigail and Ben couldn't. Rey didn't have hoodies. It was extremely hot but now I'm glad I wore it. I grabbed both Ben and Abigail and led them to their rental car. I put Abigail in the back and Ben on the driver's side.

"BEN YOU DRIVE!" I shouted as I jumped into the car on what I thought to be passenger side.

"No. YOU drive"

"Right. Still on the other side of the world" I said starting the car. Ian was doing the same. I sped toward the mountain then turned around. Ian was too.

"Another car chase?" I asked.

"Another car chase" Ben responsed as we sped off toward the road. Driving I'm sand is very difficult. We did pull far enough ahead of Ian we couldn't see him.

"Riley. Put the car in neutral then switch spots with me"

"WHAT?!" Abigail and I both yelled at the same time.

"I might need you to do something techie. Now put the car in neutral." Ben yelled at me. I hate getting yelled at. I put the car in neutral and got on the center console. Ben climbed over and into the drivers seat just as Ian's van came into view. He put the car in drive just as we were both sitting down. We skidded out onto the road

"Skidding skidding skidding" I said.

"And that is why I'm driving. You're not the best car chase driver" Ben pointed out

"That's because we were in a van full of my expensive technologies AND the Declaration of Independence" I pointed out,"now. We're in a cheap rental car"

"Riley this car costs $100 a day" Abigail told me

"Ok. Let merephrase that. Now we're in an expensive rental car. Happy?"

"Happy enough" Abigail said back. Then we sped by the sphinx. There was no time to marvel, just drive away from Ian.

"Hey Ben can I see the tiny sphinx?" I asked.

"Sure" he responded, handing it to me. I took it and looked it over. I felt it too. It all felt like solid gold, except for the back. I pushed on it and it ripped, like paper.

"Uuuhhhh, guys? Either I broke the sphinx or found something huge" I said. Showing them both the hole.

"What's inside?" Ben asked

"I don't know but I can find out" I said, taking a mini camera out of my backpack. I opened my laptop and pulled up the camera program. I put the camera inside and put the camera inside. There were a few hieroglyphics on it. I quickly took pictures of them and translated them. The. Abigail, who had been looking over my shoulder the entire time said,"what do those mean?"

"I'm going to find out" I said, pulling up a translator.

"What's on it?" Ben asked.

"Hieroglyphics" Abigail said.

"Riley. You've got about two minutes before your stuff bounces around the car like a bag of potatoes" Ben pointed out. I looked up. He was right. We were about to pull back into Cairo, and Ian wasn't far behind. I put the camera and the sphinx in my bag just as we turned onto the road.

"Riley have you translated the hierglyphics?" Ben asked me.

"Almost there" I paused as the translation came up,"go inside. It says go inside"

"Ok." Ben replied. "I'll ask the questions later" We swerved in and out of cars and Ian was too.

"BEN! Where are we gonna go?! We can't show Ian where we're staying!" Abigail shouted.

"No. We can't. We'll just have to loose him" Ben said, turning into an alley. The car door flung open and I was pulled out. I forgot to put my seatbelt on. Damn me.

"Riley!" Ben and Abigail shouted. I held the door handle and ran along side of the car, which was going very fast. I felt gun shots around me. Then my backpack started sliding out the door.

"Abby grab my bag!" I shouted. She launched herself forward and grabbed it. She reached out her hand to me. I took it and she used the little amount of strength she had to help pull me back into the car while Ian's men were still shooting.

"Uh gu-guys. I don't mean to alarm anyone, but Ian has his guns out...AGAIN!" I said. Both Abigail and Ben glanced behind us. When they looked back Ben drove even faster, emerging onto a busy street.

"We need to get a gun" Abby muttered. I chuckled at her statement. We were driving toward a pier. Ben didnt even look like he was going to turn.

"Ben.." I said. We were getting closer,"Ben..." We were right on top of it,"BEN!" I screamed. He made a quick u-turn and we headed back down the street. I was taking deep breaths.

"What'd that do to Ian?" Ben asked. Abigail and I looked behind us. Ian's car had crashed into the guardrail and was about to go over

"His car is about to take a nose dive into the ocean" I said.

"Awesome." He replied. We drove leisurely back to the hotel. Once inside the room I collapsed onto the bed. I needed a good, long nap. I was about to drift off to sleep when Ben shook me awake.

"No time to sleep Riley" he said.

"Oh come on Ben! Ian's in the Pacific Ocean, and being a hostage is tiring" I whined.

"Yes but Ian's car being in the ocean isn't going to stop him. If anything it'll just make him more angry" Ben told me.

"I know. But that doesn't mean I'm not tired." I said.

"Riley, are you hurt?" Abigail asked. I shook my head, but she didn't believe me.

"Take your shirt off. Let me see" she said. I was a little shocked at the request, but I obliged. I slipped my hoodie off, then my shirt off after it. She looked at my back. I had a few cuts here and there, but not much. Then she looked at my front. There was a large bruise on my neck, from the multiple times I was grabbed by the hood. She touched it and I winced. It hurt a lot.

"Riley. Your neck" Ben said. I didn't move. Abigail got a washcloth and began dapping the cuts on my back. I didn't hurt nearly as much as my neck. She bandaged the big ones then handed me an icepack.

"Sleep. Ignore Ben" she told me. I nodded and laid back on the bed. I pulled the covers over my head and placed the icepack on my neck. I heard Ben and Abby arguing about "ignoring Ben". I smiled then fell asleep.

Thank you for humoring me and letting me redo this. I intend to write another one today. Just trying to extend this story a little bit.
