Greek Runaway

Σαράντα πέντε(Forty Five)

3rd Person's POV

"Look a little nervous there, Ramen Noodle. 'Cause for me, this is like a spa treatment. Sand baths are really rejuvenating for the skin. Exfoliates. Giving up yet?" Jedediah asked Kahmunrah who was still inside the hourglass.

"Not quite yet, no. In fact, let's see if we can't make time fly." Kahmunrah said hitting the top of the hourglass. "What is that funny sound?" Just after he said that the plane Amelia was flying crashed into the window just missing Kahmunrah. As the plane hit the ground Larry and Katalina fell off rolling on the ground whereas Amelia stayed on. "Stop! Right there, please, Mr. Daley and you too Katalina." Katalina and Larry turned around to face Kahmunrah. "Well. Well, well, well! You certainly know how to make an entrance, Mr. Daley."

"Time to recruit some backup," Amelia said to herself and going away.

"Katalina I cannot believe you were helping him escape," Kahmunrah said to her grabbing her arm.

"We weren't trying..." He cut her off by pushing her to the floor hard.

"Hey don't do that to her."

"Pathetic Larry Daley. I hope for your little friend's sake, here, that you also figured out the combination." Kahmunrah said. Katalina stayed on the floor.

"Give me Jed."

"Oh, no, no, no. First, give me the combination and hand over that tablet."

"I'll give you the tablet and the combination when you release my friends and give him back to me."

"I shall release what I want to release the moment I want to release it."

"Great. And I'll release what I want to release at the exact moment that I want to release it, okay?"

"Tell me the combination and give me that tablet right now or I shall kill all of your friends, starting with the little shaggy-headed little cowman here."

"I ain't shaggy-headed! Gigantor, let me take this guy!" Jedediah said.

"Don't worry, I got this handled. You don't want to give me my friends, then you're not gonna get your combination or your tablet."

"All right, I'll tell you what."

"Good."

"They didn't call me Kahmunrah the Trustworthy for nothing. Here you go." Kahmunrah said starting to hand Jedediah over to Larry. Then quickly took it back. "They didn't call me Kahmunrah the Trustworthy! They called me Kahmunrah the Bloodthirsty, who kills whoever doesn't give Kahmunrah exactly what he wants in the moment that he wants it, which is right now, when I had also better get the combination and the tablet!"

"That's what they called you?"

"It was shorter in Egyptian."

"Great, I'll give you the combination after you give him back," Larry said reaching for Jedediah.

"How dare you? If you touch that again, I shall kill you right now."

"Okay."

"Do not touch this. This is a no-touching zone!"

"Good. Well, then..." Larry reached for Jedediah again.

"Oh, my God! I can't believe you reached across like that again! I can't even believe it! Oh, God, I want to kill you right...If you didn't know this combination, you'd be so dead right now, it would be unbelievable."

"Great, but I do know the combination."

"Don't cross this line with your hand!" Kahmunrah said making a line with his arm and Larry reached again. Crossing the line. "How dare you! If you speak again, I'm going to kill you. Do you understand this? Don't say it! Oh, God, I see you getting ready."

"I wasn't gonna say anything."

"Oh, my God, don't say anything. I shall murder you if you talk again. Now give me that tablet and tell me the combination."

"Okay. After you give me Jed and release my friends." Larry said reaching for Jed.

"You did all three!"

"What?"

"You spoke and you reached your hand across! Look. I can talk to you about this all night, okay?"

"That's only two." Katalina said from the floor. Kahmunrah glared back at her. "Χαζέ(Dumb ass)."

"How about this?"

"Look, just give..."

"How about I don't kill you right now, like I really, really want to, and I give you precisely five seconds to give me that tablet and tell me the combination?" Kahmunrah said to Larry. Al Capone walked in holding one of the Einsteins.

"We already got the combination. It's pi. 3.14159265." Al Capone said.

"No!" Larry yelled when Kahmunrah threw Jedediah. Before it could fall Katalina sat up and caught him.

"Hey. Sorry," Larry said to Jedediah. Taking the hourglass from Katalina and helping her up.

"So Crazy Hair here, he sang. Oh, did he sing! Like a canary." Al Capone said.

"I'm sorry, Larry," Einstein said.

"Enough out of you!" Al Capone said threatening to punch Einstein.

"Remember what happened last time?"

"That's enough." Larry said to Al Capone.

"Stupid man," Einstein said.

"You okay?" Larry asked Katalina.

"Just a few scratches. But I will be fine. Thanks. Are you okay?" Katalina asked looking down at Jedediah.

"Yeah, thanks." He said

"Must be a real bummer for you, Larry, knowing that all of your valiant efforts were, in the end, for naught. What a terrible disappointment you must be to yourself. Do you hear that humming sound? Do you know what that sound is?" Kahmunrah said and Ivan raised his hand. "It's rhetorical. That is the sound of the End."

"I'm sorry, Jed and Katalina."

"You did your best, Gigantor. Dadgum it, we almost had him, too. And you had great help from Ms. Greek as well."

"No, I mean, I'm sorry I wasn't around the last couple of years at the museum. Maybe none of this would have happened."

"You don't get it, do you, Gigantor? I didn't call you 'cause we needed your help. Sure, we were in a little pickle, but it wouldn't have been the first time I had to wrestle my way out of a root sack. No, partner. I called you 'cause you needed us. That fancy suit you've been parading around in these past couple years, that there's a hanging suit. All gussied up, but dead inside. That ain't you. And I'll tell you another thing." Katalina nodded in agreement.

"Yeah."

"This night ain't over yet. This little Midnight Cowboy's got some fight left in him. Something tells me you do, too. Ho, now!"

"Welcome to the new, extended reign of Kahmunrah, Fifth King of Egypt, and now the world! Horus, Ra, my warriors, come forth! Send Larry Daley and his friends to their doom!"
