I stood outside the museum waiting for dad and Nick earlier in the day dad called me telling me to meet him outside the museum he works at wrapping my black stripped cardigan tightly round me I soon see dad and Nick coming up the stairs "you took your time," I say "sorry sweetheart had to walk car broke down again," dad says we all walk inside approaching the front desk I had seen everyday I came in here at that was when I was the age of 5 and my love of Egypt began dad lifts Nick on to the desk "here best seat in the house," he says "dad what's going on," I ask pushing my self to sit next to Nick "if I told you, you'd both think I'm crazy I'm gonna show you," dad says "why," Nick asks "you'll see in about 20 seconds," dad says "okay you like Tyrannosaurus Rex don't you Nick," dad asks "yeah," Nick answers "yeah will I call him Rexy," dad says pointing to the big T-rex we pasted as we walked to the front desk "and he's about to come to life Nicholas, Caitlin in..," dad trails off "4, 4, 3, 2," dad counts down before doing a big point thing the T-rex didn't move I look at dad did he really make me stand out in the freezing cold for this "dad," Nick asks "hand on a sec," dad says "say hello to Rexy," dad says pointing at it again I roll my eyes "I'm going home," I say "dad are you ok," Nick asks as I stood up to leave "this is weird," dad says I suddenly shiver "you ok Caitlin," Nick asks "yeah must just be cold," I say shivering again "no it's not cold," Nick says "guys come on," dad says "sundown," he adds I start to make my way to the door I could hear dad and Nick speaking to each other "help us Caitlin," I slightly weak voice whispers in my ear I shiver "guys something weird is happening," I say quickly walking towards them "it's like these mannequins are speaking to me," I say "come on," dad says taking mine and Nicks arm and pulls us towards the Egypt part in the museum entering the Egypt part I shiver even more and began to feel drawn to the pharaohs coffin "it's gone," dad says shining his light on where the tablet used to be "what's gone," Nick asks "the tablet nick," I ask "I think somebody stole it," dad says walking towards the room "yeah right," Nick says I slowly made my way down looking up at the guard "I'm not kidding Nicky even ask your sister there is a tablet," dad says "there is I drew it about 15 times," I say I look back to notice Nick was gone "Nicky," dad asks noticing Nick was gone "hey Nicky," dad runs down "Caitlin stay here ok I want you to be safe," dad says as he trots past me. sighing as I looked at the guards again when suddenly Nick runs in holding the tablet "Nick where's dad," I ask "no time quick hide," Nick says pulling me behind one of the pillars and continued to run when we bumped in to an older looking man who takes the tablet "thank you very much we'll take it from here," the man says I pull Nick closer to me "Nicky, Caitlin," dad runs in the old man flips him on to his back "daddy," I cry out "just in time Larry we were just locking up," the man says they close the gates to the exhibition "you can't do this," I say "sleep tight hotshots," the smaller one out of the three says before they walk away tears stream down my face "daddy," I whimper "it's ok sweetheart," dad says he runs up to the face and yells out to get someone's attention Nick's arms wrap round my waist as we approach the fence the sound of a horse grabs my attention and the man himself rides up on Texas "someone call my name," he asks I gently reach out the horse turns it's head towards me letting me place my hand on to it's nose snorting "thank you," the same voice whispers in my ear "whoa," Nick says "Theodore Roosevelt at your service," he says "teddy can you get us out of here," dad asks "can't do it man this is your moment," Teddy says daddy shouts teddy replies calmly then he rides off the ground begins to shake we turn to face the guards "dad don't move," I say as they approach us pointing their spears at us "ok never mind," I say "that's it come on," dad says we run by the guard missing their spears and in to the room with the screaming Ahkmenrah "go over their Nick Caitlin watch them," dad says I spin round to watch the guards as they move closer to the room I loud crash catches my attention "dad quickly do something," I say backing away from the door "hey hi how are you doing sorry to bother you," dad starts Ahkmenrah faces dad "but your guys there your jackal guys do you think you could ask them to back off please," dad says.
