As everyone tries to get some sleep.  The howls of the storm made it difficult for anyone to get any rest. Although some did try.  The sand blow covering the dig site.  Many of the holes that were dug were now covered. but now exposing part of n golden object.   

Finally, the storm passed.  The silence it left, no one heard, but the two grave robbers,  who kept falling into covered digs.  Now Bill and Hance were known for robbing the fresh graves in the town cemetery.  Due to the storm, they knew this was their only chance to take a look at something. if they find it, it's not stealing, so they thought.

The two men came prepared with a shovel.   Bill dug, while Hance stood as, the, look out.  When Bill was about to start digging, he notices something shine in the dish, across from him.  Bill, greedy eyes opened up wide, not believing that he could be so lucky.   He quickly threw the shovel into the dish, then jump across.   The moment he landed, he ran to the shiny object.   Bill's smiled, "I can't believe, shit Ya!", he said as he began to dig.  

He dug as fast as he could.  For he knew that when the guards notice that the storm has stopped, it's back to work.   Bill, dug quickly.  Now the golden jug was completely visible.  A little more digging and out came the jug.  It rolled and landed right on Hance' feet.   "Oh right! You found something," he whispered as he picked up the jug.    "Hurry, let's get out of here," said Bill as he climbed out of the hole.   Hence handed Bill the gold jug.  He quickly placed it in a large potato bag.  Then the two men ran as far as they could away from the ruins.

"Buddy, you know we're rich?" asked Bill  "Really?  Are you sure that's gold?" asked Hance  "Of course, stupid, this isn't a new grave.  Hundreds of years ago didn't have fake gold.  Dummy!  Watch and learn," said Bill as he handed Hance the potato sack and went across the road to enter the pawn shop.  Bill explained what he found to the shop owner.   Larrow the shop owner was interested.  So Bill gave Hance the signal to come inside the shop.  Hance looked at first making sure no one he knew, sees him.  Hance quickly placed the sack on the counter.  "Look at that beauty, you're going to be making us, payments for the rest of your life," said Hance grinning away.  

"Really?  Let me see," said Larrow as he proceeded to take the gold jug out of the sack.   "My, goodness, this is beautiful.  Where did you find this? " he asked with amazement and happy while taking out his eyeglass to get a better look.  You two men are right, I can give you two thousand now, and ten thousand a week from today.  If that's alright with you." offered Larrow as he shines the golden jug.   "Are you telling me, that this is only worth twelve thousand dollars?   Are you kidding me?  Do I look stupid to you?" yelled Bill for he knew that the jug was worth much more.    

"Look, take or leave it.  I'll have to melt this and make some jewelry.  That's men power that comes out of my pocket.  You think I stupid!  You know damn well that this shit is stolen, from somewhere.  So, you want your money, or should I put this shit back in the potato sack?" he said as he grabbed the sack    "Fine, but if you get caught with it, I didn't sell it to you anything." said Bill   "Asshole, I'm no snitch, I do own a pawn shop, hello.  Fuck, you're lucky I do want this nice piece.  Look, today is Wednesday, come back next Wednesday at the same time and I'll have the rest of your money." said Larrow as he handed Bill the money while counting.

"Now don't forget, next week, we will be here, at what time is it?" Bill asked as he looked at the clock.   "It's nine in the morning.  So I see you next week," said Bill and Hance as they split the money then walked out of the pawnshop.

"Dude, you know he ripped us off.  That fucken dick, ripped us off!" yelled Hance    "I know, but he was right, if he didn't buy it, we would still be stuck with the jug, looking for a buyer.  Now the men had a good day.  Bill and Hance live about two blocks away from each other.  So down the sandy road, they went when they reached the corner, Bill turned and Hance kept go.  Hance had two more blocks to walk.

Bill was a good ten feet away from his door.   When the wind began to pick up, blowing strongly in his direction.  Bill began to walk faster, hoping to get home before the storm hits again.  Then he began to hear weird howl noises, not of a dog or a wolf.  It sounded more like a creature, that wasn't human.   This made him scared so he began to run.  As he ran, he kept looking back, hoping that whatever was making that noise, wasn't close.   Then the wind blew and formed a funnel, right in front of Bill blocking his path.  Bill quickly tried to run by the side of the funnel, but everywhere he tried to run, the funnel seems to get in front of him.  "What the hell's going on?" he screamed as he kept trying to get by.   

"You are a thief. you have something that's mine", said the voice in the funnel.  "What the hell are you talking about?  Finding something is not stealing." said Bill   "So, you admit it, you took my jug.  Give it back! yelled the voice within the funnel as the wind calmed down, and out of the midst of the sand appeared mummy walking directly to Bill's   When Bill saw what he saw, he rubbed his eyes and screamed, "Holy, shit, this is really happening.  God, look, I'm sorry.  If you get me out of this, I promise you I won't steal ever again,  Please!" he screamed as he ran in the opposite direction, while yelling for help.

Bill ran, then he realized that everything was quiet.  He stopped and looked around. Afraid, but wanting, to live, he headed back to his house.  He was almost there, when the mummy came out of nowhere, like magic, appeared it gripped Bill by the neck.  "Where is my jug?" the creature said as he proceeded to strangle him.   "Look, Please don't hurt me.  Here, this is your money.  Take it and let me go.  I promise I won't ever steal again." begged Bill as he pled for his life.   

"What is this you're giving me?  You give me paper and take my gold.  What's wrong with you.  Don't you know, the law of the grave is to rest in peace, you living parasites, come across our graves and steal our belongings.  Then you put our corpse out for display.  Now, one more time.  Where is my jug?" asked the mummy, now Bill was having trouble catching his breath or say a word.   

"It doesn't matter!   My nose will take me to it, but you, you're stealing days are over." said the mummy as he squeezes Bill's neck so hard that it snapped and his head went in one direction and his body fell to the ground.  The mummy began to use mind power, levitating the head the head first, then as the particles of the head multiplied into tiny, pieces, then when the head was completely liquified, the fluid floated into the air and directly into his mouth.   When he was done dissolving the head, he then did the same to Bill's body.  When he was done, he burped loudly.

The Mummy felt stronger, he's still not completely animated, but he was now strong enough to fight ten men at the same time.
