From Sunset to Dawn (a Night At The Museum fanfiction)

Chapter Five: Getting the Tablet back

Gus was coming down the stairs when a gruop of Civil War men blocked his way. He turned around, just to see more faceless puppets

-Geez...-

-Compagni di Neanderthal, con me!- said Colombus turning in a corridor. They saw Reginald

-Now boys, we're gonna do this the easy way, or the hard way- said the ex night guard. Colombus took out his sword pointed it to Reginald's neck

-I guess it's gonna be the hard way- he said

-E' tutto finito- said Colombus

Jedediah and Octavius had got to the van, and Octavius stick his spear in the tire. The air began to come out and the other romans and cowboys flew away

-Save youself!- shouted Otcavius

-I ain't quittin' you!- Jed shouted back

Cecil was looking for his companions, the Tablet on his chest

-Gus? Reginald? Fellows? Guys where are you?-

He opened the door of the Ocean exhibit, but he was knocked off by a splash of water coming from a wale hanging from the ceiling

While we were running to the loading dock we saw Gus and Reginald all tied up on the benches and surrounded by Colombus, the Neanderthals and the Civil War guys

-That's what I'm talking about! Good job gentlemen!- said Larry -Loving the team work!-

We continued running to the loading dock, but when we arrived there the van had disappeared, and there was no trace of Jed and Octavius

-They've vanished! How will we find them?- asked Ahk, worried

-I know someone who can help, come on!- said Larry, and went back inside with Nicky. I stayed out with Ahk. I got down the stairs and looked up, watching the snowflakes coming down from the sky. That was the first moment of peace that night. I squeezed in my arms, it was very cold, and I had left my jacket inside. I heard Ahk coming near me

-Are you cold?- he asked

-A little- I replied, shaking. He hugged me with his arm and squeezed me gently. I could have melted that istant

-Better?- he asked smiling. I nodded. Larry and Nick came back with Sacajawea. Larry saw me and Ahk and grinned. I tried to strike him dead. In the mean time Sacajawea had analyzed the ground

-He went east, but he lost control and crashed- she said

-You're amazing, how can you tell that?- Larry asked. Sacajawea pointed to a place near us, and we saw the crashed van

-How didn't we notice?!- I asked confused

-He left the wagon... and went back- continued Sacajawea

-He went back?- asked Larry -Why would he go back?-

Suddenly, we heard a galloping noise, and from the tunnel behind us came Cecil and the guide of a carriage towed by black horses

-Out of the way!!!- he shouted. Sacajawea was exacly on his way, but a moment before the collapse someone pushed her away, and the carriage went away. We all runned to see what happened. Teddy was on the ground, cut in half

-Teddy! Oh man...- started Larry

-Larry, relax. I'm wax- interrupted Teddy -You have to do something, it's almost dawn and half of the museum is running amuck outside!-
