Fort Brydon, Cairo No POV

The group went back to the Fort and they were in Evelyn's room.

Evelyn; we must stop him from regenerating. Who owned that chest?

Henderson; there was me and Daniels here. And Burns, of course.

Daniels: and that Egyptologist fellow.

Rick: what about my buddy, Beni?

Daniels: no, he scrammed out of there before we opened the thing.

Henderson: yeah, he was the smart one.

Wade: yeah, that sounds like Beni.

Evelyn: we must find the Egyptologist and bring him back to the safety of the fort before the creature or his sister can get to him.

Rick; right. She stays here. You four, come with me.

All but Wade started complaining but Evelyn was the loudest.

Evelyn; just a minute! You can't leave me behind like some old carpetbag. Who put you in charge, O'Connell?

Rick:<throws her over his shoulder>

Evelyn; what do you think you are doing? Jonathan! O'Connell!

Jonathan: sorry, but he's a bit tall.

Rick: <throws her in her bed>

Evelyn; Jonathan, coward that you are... O'Connell, you are not leaving me in here!

Rick: <closes the door, locks it, and grabs Daniels by the front of his shirt> this door doesn't open. She doesn't come out, and no one goes in, right?

Daniels: right.

Rick: <looks at Henderson> right?

Henderson: right.

Rick gave the key to Daniels as they were just ignoring Evelyn at this point.

Rick: let's go, Wade, Jonathan.

Wade: <follows Rick>

Jonathan: oh, I thought I could just say at the fort and reconnoiter.

Wade: Now!

Jonathan: yeah, right. <stands up> we're just gonna rescue the Egyptologist.

Jonathan leaves as they really just ignored Evelyn who was still trying to get them to get her out.

Cairo streets

The Egyptologist was fast walking through the empty streets as he held his sacred jar and the Book of the Dead as he kept hearing sounds and looks around before he moved not knowing Imhotep was close to him.

Egyptologist Office

Beni was throwing stuff everywhere, dumping cabinets of their contents, knocking stuff into the floor, desperately looking for something as Wade, Rick, and Jonathan entered.

Rick: well, well, well. Let me guess. Spring cleaning.

Beni tried to run off but Rick threw a chair at his legs tripping him as Wade quickly walked towards him.

Jonathan: nice shot.

Wade: oh, Beni, did you fall down? Let me help you up. <slams him into a bookshelf> you came back from the desert with a pair of new friends, didn't you, Beni?

Beni: what friends? You are my only friends.

Wade: <slams him into the table> what the hell are you doing with these creeps? What's in it for you?
