The Huvark Experiment

Chapter 13

VERY LONG CHAPTER ALARM
(It might be too long)
(This should be two chapters)
(Oh well)

Ok here's the actual chapter:

We drove for the rest of the day. I just dozed for most of the journey. At ten o'clock at night, I saw lights on the horizon.

'Evil' James said,"We're approaching Luxor. Would like to stop here?"
Simon said irritably,"Yes. Of course I would, I've already told you the plan."
"Would you like chips with your plan?"

We stopped and pitched camp. Simon, the guards and the lorry drivers got to sleep in the Range Rovers, while the eight of us got cold tents. James held the torch up for us while we put them up. I was in a tent with Derek, Ed and Jim.
Simon kept shouting at everyone because he was 'tired'. Hopefully he'd get a lie in.
I couldn't sleep. I didn't die today, so I would tomorrow. Also I was keeping myself awake thinking of ways I could avoid dying tomorrow. And stop the disease.
At about one, when everyone else was asleep, I heard our tent door unzip. I twisted round to face the door, ready to fight in case it was a guard.
"Hi!" It was Steve.
"Steve, what are you doing? It's one in the morning!"
"I wanted to discuss methods of not dying tomorrow. Our driver told us a bit about what Simon's going to do tomorrow..."
"And?"
"He's going to shoot us at the bottom of the Great Pyramid of Giza partly for fun and partly to scare people back into the city. There will be other, smaller shootings at other pyramids-"
"Who are they shooting?"
"I don't know. Tourists. Journalists. Pyramids." He paused. "Then someone will go into the middle of the city where there aren't many police officers because they went to the Pyramids and deploy the disease. And that's all I know."
"So we need a way of getting away from the Great Pyramid alive. Without getting shot in the process."
"Ummm..."
"Ummm..."
"Ummm..."
We ummmed for five minutes. Eventually, we decided that we needed a distraction so we could get to the box of guns and fight away from the Pyramid.
"I'm tired, so I'm going back to my tent. We'll have to not fall asleep during a BATTLE TO THE DEATH OF DOOM tomorrow."
"Ok Steve."

After smelling the familiar smell of Stilton coming from... everywhere, we went to sleep, possibly for the last time in our lives.

* * *

We were woken up at eight. We were given one of those camping stove things and told to cook bacon and eggs for Simon when he got up in half an hour.
We were given apples to eat while we cooked, but since we were given too much bacon anyway, I may have quickly scoffed a rasher or two. It was nice. YUM YUM YUM.
Simon climbed out of his car and walked up to us. "Can I have bacon, eggs and sausages?" He asked us a question, but we had no choice really.
We left him to eat his bacon. When he had finished, he called Andrew, who was apparently their leader, to a car. All I heard of their conversation was,"Pyramid... guns... box... no... baguettes... small... bacon... then... die. MUAHAHAHAHAH!" I suppose there had to be an evil cackle at some point.

At nine, we set off. I asked why we hadn't stopped inside Luxor, and to my surprise, Simon answered. "So people couldn't notice us and general bad stuff like that."
"Meh. Suppose so."
Jim asked, "When will we be in Cairo?"
"Dunno. Two maybe?" 'Evil' James replied.
Simon said,"Blublubluh Arabic. Blublubluh no-idea-where-we are-and-what-speed-we're-going-at. Blublubluh."

James replied,"OK, Simon. They have no idea where we are and at which speed we're going at."
Simon slapped 'Evil' James.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-Ow!" said Ed because he got slapped.

At one, we were each given a slice of bread, while Simon ate Domino's pizza. It smelled so good I almost asked for a slice. I knew better than to do that.
At half past one, we stopped and everyone got out of the cars. I looked at the pyramids in the distance. They looked amazing, being yellow in of the blue sky. They didn't surprise me though. They weren't circles or anything.
