We're Blood

They arrived Cairo Prison walking the Warren who wouldnt stop looking at Laila like a rare object which make made feel feel sick to her stomach. She walked a distance between the siblings and the Warren going to the cell where the prisoner that Jonathan stole the Key from is being brought out. "What was this man in for?" Said Evie looking at the Warren. "We asked him ourselves and in his words. He was looking for a good time." Said Warren. 'Sounds a lot like somebody i know very well.' Laila thought as the prisoner was being forced out while having a fight with the guards. She looked at the dirty ragged man fighting against them until they brought him on his knees beating him with their batons making him face the three holding the bars with his wrapped hands. "This is the man. You stole it from." Siad Evie looking from the man to Jonathan. She saw look him avoiding eye contact with her but mostly from the man while hiding behind her and Laila. "Who are you and the broads?" Said the man looking at them. "Good to see you too. Was leaving for almost six years mean nothing?" Said Laila getting the man to get a good look at her. "Oh shit. Here to scream at me. Now is the perfect time." Said the man as Laila as pushed aside by Jonathan. "Look we arent going to " "Do i know you?" Said the man looking at Jonathan more closely. "No. No. No. Im just one of those faces." Said Jonathan until he got punched by the man. "Saw the one coming." Said Laila as Evie moved closer to the man. The Warren yelled at someone across the prison and excused himself leaving them. Evie used her hat to cover the side of her face while Laila looked at the nails thinking about the short vision she had. "We found your puzzle box and we " "No." Said the man. "What do you mean no?" Said Evie. "Youre asking me to take you to Hamunaptra?" Said the man. "You knew where it came from?" Said Evie. "I found it and We were both there." Said the man gesturing Laila who narrowed her eyes at him for a split second before looking at Evie.

"Can you tell me how to get there?" Said Evie. "You wanna know?" Said the man as Evie got closer slowly. "Yes." Said Evie getting more close to the man. The man then grabbed her face kissing her surprise her and Laila until he let go looking at her. "Then get me the hell outta here." Said the man before the guards came to beat him again making him fight back they were out of the cell. "Where are they taking him?" Said Laila seeing the Warren coming back. "To be hanged. He had a very good time." Said Warren. "Let me take of this and you have explaining to do." Said Evie before following the Warren. 'Jamil! Oleg! Help this idiot up. Im gonna save a certain someones ass.' Laila yelled at the two guards walking in the prison that knew her around the city. She walked away going after Evie and the Warren upstairs to death row. "I'll pay you anything to save that mans life." Said Evie once Laila stood next to her. She looked down seeing the man having a noose around his neck as Evie throwing out the price of saving the man. "What else im a very lo-" The warren suddenly froze once Laila had her dagger out with the tip fo the blade to his neck looking at her with his hands up. 'If he dies. So will you and don't ever touch her or me. Understood?' Laila spoke in arabic glaring at him. 'Yes. Drop him! Now!' The warren once Laila pulle d the e away. "No!" Said Evie standing up. The panel under the man open making him hang by the noose around his neck slowly choking. "Ha. His neck did not break. Im sorry but we must watch strangle to death." Said the Warren until Evie told the man knows. He and Evie then bargain for the payment Warren wanted until Laila had enough. She shot her arm out for her dagger to cut the noose close to the mans neck making him drop to the ground. "We'll meet you and the docks." Said Laila not taking her eyes off the man. She walked down the steps passing the man getting up catching up to his breathing grabbing her dagger back.

"Arent you gonna give me a hug?" Said the man looking at her putting her dagger away. "And why would i do that?" Said Laila as they walked out of the prison. She whistled for a cab to her and the man to her place getting in and looked forward. "Look i know your mad that i didnt listen to you. Lesson learned but we both have no choice but taking your friends there. I dont want to go back there either." Said the man looking her. "Be lucky that your shit is still at my place." Said Laila felling him smile and kissed her cheek but shoved back. "I felt sick earlier. Dont make me sick again with your smell." Said Laila. "Was it the Warren?" Said The man. "That but something else. I cant really explain it and you think im delusional. Let just drop it and get ready." Said Laila as they later got to her apartment. She got out paying the driver and walked with the man to her place unlock the door pointing to the guest room. "What did i miss?" Said the man in the room. "Nothing much. The usual but i have run into Izzy last year at the black market." Said Laila making them dinner. "Why were you there for?" Said the man. "I was getting some information that isnt worth talk about and Izzy says hes hopes you rot in hell. Im guessing over the times you almost gotten us killed and him getting shot in the ass." Said Laila hearing the shower on. "Anything else?" Said the man. "Thats pretty much it." Said Laila. 'Except im working a secret organization and married.' She thought until she went to answer the phone. "Ms. O'Connell. Im calling to see if you got a hold of the key." Saif Curator as Laila looked into the guest room. She saw the bathroom door is closed and went back to her conversation. "No. Evie still has it on her and whats worse is we got my brother to take us there. We're leaving tomorrow. I'll make sure they dont find anything especially him." Said Laila in a whisper. "You better. He cant be found." Said Curator before hanging up. Laila hanged up her phone and began finishing the dinner she made and set up their plates.

The next morning they got their bags ready going the docks where their boat was. Laila looked at the man looking fresh and cleaned seeing the old face she then saw the familiar siblings. "His nothing but a complete scoundrel and i dont like him one bit." Said Evie. "Anyone we know?" Said the man getting her to turn around. Laila smirked seeing Evie looking flustered from the mans new look. "Laila i forgot to ask. But how do you two know each other?" Said Evie looking at her. "Hes my brother. We both grew up in the same orphanage." Said Laila. "Rick O'Connell and no hard feelings about the . . ." Rick says looking at Jonathan gesturing about the punch from yesterday while Laila went on board taking her bags. She walked to her signed room putting her stuff under the bed after taking a smaller bag from inside of it. Laila opened it reveal many knives and guns with bullets and sharpening blocks that she was given or collected. She took out a random knife and sharpened it after checking it then began doing the rest once the boat began leaving. About an hour Rick knocked on her door before opening it seeing her loading her guns on her bed. "You think you got enough?" Said Rick. "You're the one to talk." Said Laila. "Just saying. I couldve given you spare dynamite." Said Rick. "No. I got my guns and my blades. We dont know if we come on across anyone that stupid enough to go to that walking Hell." Said Laila. "Were going and your friends." Said Rick. "Only because you didnt get rid of the box like i told you to." Said Laila. "Im sorry. Its all on me. But why are you worked up over this beside the massacre aftermath we saw." Said Rick. "I cant everything to you even if youre my best friend. Its a lot to handle." Said Laila. "Try me." Said Rick. "Im sorry. Its my choice and my job." Said Laila putting her weapons away and walked past him out of her room to explore. She looked around seeing some americans playing poker with Jonathan and headed to the stables. Laila saw the horse and the camels but noticed one that she was very familiar with. She walked over to the jet black horse petting his snout smiling to see him. "Medjet. Who brought you here?" Said Laila. She then grabbed brush to clean of the sand off his mane shaking her heard slowly. "Why am i not surprised that he was here?" Said Laila.
