3rd Person's POV

"Hello. Welcome to the British Museum. My name's Tilly." A girl said as Larry pulled the car up to the shack.

"Hi. Thank you. I'm Larry Daley from Natural History, New York." Larry said introducing himself to Tilly.

"Yeah, yeah."

"I got a delivery... for your conservation department."

"All right!" Tilly said excitedly. "So they let you travel?" She asked.

"This is kind of unusual."

"Well, they let me travel. You know where?" She asked Larry.

"No."

"Home. Here. Home. Back here. Off to the toot-toot. Five-minute maximum." She explained. "So that must be well wicked being a security guard in America. With your gun, with a silencer, with your ninja swords." She motioned with her hands the ninja swords.

"Right. That's not even a little bit true."

"The only thing that I got is this." She said and showed him her hammer.

"Oh."

"Hammer!" She said in a sing-song-like voice. "It's for...and I quote, 'minor repairs and beautifications' to the shack." She said as she tapped the hammer against the window.

"You just hit things? Yeah, that's catchy." Larry said as she started to tap it to a beat of her own.

"Basically worthless."

"I can't believe we're actually still talking," Larry noted.

"It's great, though, innit?"

"It is."

"This is the most conversation I've had in the three years that I've worked here," Tilly admitted.

"I feel a connection, too. Is it cool if I just make my drop?"

"Oh, yeah."

"Wonderful."

"But I will have to confirm."

"Actually, that's not necessary... because they've already confirmed it on the slip I gave you," Larry said.

"Yeah, all right. Confirming." Tilly said as she dialed the numbers on the phone.

"Okay. All right." Larry said as it was ringing.

"Hello. This is Dr. McPhee." Dr. McPhee said answering from a park bench in Central Park.

"It's the British Museum, sir. I'm just confirming a delivery to our conservation department."

"Yes, I signed the paperwork. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a museum to run. You, boy, get those grubby fingers off my Ming vase. See? Bye." Dr. McPhee said really quickly and Hung up the phone.

"All right."

"Good?" Larry asked.

"All right, you is legit."

"I is legit. Wonderful."

"Confirm it."

"Thank you."

"All right, I'll open the gate," Tilly said and opened the gate for Larry to drive through.

"Okay."

Larry parked the car and Tilly went around to help him unload. While unloading she continued to tell him about stuff he didn't actually care about.

"Yeah, so, like, my boyfriend... he doesn't really like the way I do my hair. Says it looks like a golden poo sitting on my shoulder. But I really enjoy it." After they got the crate into the building. Larry went and hid, pretending to get back into the car. "Bye, Larry!" She waved to him.

When Tilly fell asleep at her post, Larry ran to the gate to open it for Nicky. He opened it and let Nicky in and they ran to the building and knocked on the door.

"I'm not an expert... but this is feeling, just, really against the law," Nicky said as they waited for Ahkmenrah.

"No, they have a totally different legal system here," Larry said trying to convince Nicky. Shortly after Ahkmenrah opened the door for them.

"Okay. How we doing?" He asked.

"All clear."

"All right, let's go."

"Larry, the others felt, perhaps, we could use some help," Ahkmenrah said stopping at the crate.

"The others?" Then Katalina came out of the crate.

"Hello, Larry. I had to come with." She said smiling at him.

"Of course. I figured you would come with." Larry said helping her out of the crate.

"Lawrence, I couldn't sit idly by. Our very survival is at stake." Teddy said popping out of the crate.

"All right. Hey, Teddy. Good. Good man to have in a crisis." Then Attila came out.

"Attila. Okay, a little muscle."

"Hi, Larry," Sacajawea said coming out of the box as well.

"That is a deceptively large box," Larry noted.

"Obviously, we came along, too!" Octavius said.

"You know you'd be lost without us, Gigantor," Jedediah said.

"Are you serious?" Larry asked looking at Ahkmenrah who just shrugged. Then Dexter came out out of the box. "And the monkey. All right, basically everyone."

"Dada!" Laaa yelled as he came out of the box.

"Oh! No, no. No possible benefit whatsoever." Larry complained to Ahkmenrah.

"He really wanted to come," Ahkmenrah said rolling his eyes. Laaa started to stare at Nicky.

"Yeah, this is my son...my actual son, Nicky. Nicky, this is Laaa." Larry said.

"What's up?" Nicky asked. Laaa would not stop looking at Nicky. "He's just tracking me." Laaa then copied Nicky, to the best of his ability.

"Laaa." Larry warned.

"So, Lawrence what's the plan of attack?" Teddy asked as the rest got out of the crate.

"We need to get to the Egyptian wing, find Ahk's father...and hopefully get the tablet fixed. All of us." Larry said. As everyone got out except Laaa he saw the packing peanuts and nodded to himself before falling into the mountain of peanuts. "Laaa, that's not for eating. That's not food. Don't..." Larry scolded. "You know what? I got a job for you. Come on, come on.
Come on." Larry said leading him to a door. As Laaa passed Nicky he purposely ran into him. "I want you to stay here and watch this door, okay? Make sure nobody comes in or out. Okay? Good. You're gonna be a guard, just like me. All right." Larry explained. And Laaa would do it until Larry started to leave then he'd follow Larry. "No. Come here. Stay here...and put your hands on the door. Good, stay."

"Stay!" Laaa copied.

"Good. That's right. You stay here. Stay here. Stay. Right. No. Stay."

"Stay!"

"Stay. Look there." Larry said pointing to the door. "Good. Stay. No. Good. Stay. No. Stay."

"Stay!"

"Don't... Don't move. Don't move. No. Good. Okay." Larry said. Then made sure that Laaa wasn't going to follow them. "Okay, listen up, guys. This place is waking up for the first time... and we have no idea what's out there, so stay together, all right" And then they left for Ahkmenrah's father.
