Chapter 3
Starting Over
I've found my way back home, but nothing is going right
It was rather difficult for Yuugi to sneak around the tomb and get to the entrance when so many people were working. He would have to hide behind a statue until some of the workers passed by before hurrying to the next hiding place. Adrenaline was flowing through Yuugi's body keeping him moving because he feared getting caught. Just when Yuugi believed he was home free and he walked out of the tomb with no one seeing him, a hand came down onto his shoulder.
Yuugi looked up and to his left to see the main boss of the dig. He wore a frown on his face as he looked down at Yuugi.
"Yuugi, what were you doing in that tomb?"
Yuugi gave a nervous smile. "Sir I have no idea what you are talking about. I was just standing around near the front. I know we are not allowed in the tomb."
The boss sighed. "Yuugi I saw you come out of the tomb." He turned and motioned for Yuugi to follow. "We're going to have to go back to campus and see the dean."
Yuugi swore his heart fell down into his stomach. It was all over for him now.
As the two walked toward one of the jeeps, he saw the two boys who had gone down with him smiling and waving at him. He glared at the two, before getting into the passenger seat. 'How could I let them set me up like that?' Yuugi thought as the boss started the car and drove through the desert.
The four hour drive back to the campus was horrible. The whole time Yuugi's stomach was in knots and his heart was beating a hundred miles per minute. When they pulled in front of the administration building, Yuugi felt like gluing his booty to his seat. His boss came around and opened the door for Yuugi. Having no other choice Yuugi got out and walked the death march all the way to the dean's office.
The dean wasn't a strict guy, but if you broke the rules he wouldn't be afraid to lay the law down. He was a guy who was big on rules and enforced them.
After what seemed like forever they arrived at the door with the words dean's office across it. His boss opened the door and they walked into the small front office with the secretary in it.
She looked up as they arrived and smiled at Yuugi. "Hello there Yuugi, I haven't seen you in a while. Are you here for a visit?"
The boss walked up to her and whispered something. Yuugi sighed and took a seat waiting on his faith.
It wasn't but 10 minutes later that the dean walked out of his office. Another student was behind him and he didn't look happy. Once the student was set free, the dean turned to Yuugi. The dean was a tall elderly man with gray hair and bread. He had bright blue eyes that showed he was a kind and caring man.
The boss of the dig got up from his seat and walked up to the dean. "Sorry to disturb you Mr. Riley, but we had a problem at the dig."
"So what my secretary emailed me was true."Mr. Riley shook his head and gave Yuugi a stern look. "I will have a word with young Yuugi Mutou here while you return to your job site."
Yuugi followed the dean back into his office where the door was shut and he sat in a seat in front of Mr. Riley's desk. Mr. Riley calmly walked behind his desk and took a seat. "I understand from the email my secretary sent me that you were found coming out of the tomb you were observing at. Yuugi you know you are not allowed in those tombs. Why would you do this?"
"It wasn't just me in the tomb sir!" Yuugi argued. "There were two other students who talked me into showing them the tomb."
Mr. Riley sighed. "Yuugi, those boys were never seen in the tomb or coming out of it. We have no way to prove they were ever in there. According to the email, your boss on the site only saw you coming out."
