CHAPTER TWO

Cairo Museum Of Antiquities. Day. Evelyn sits on the chair having her daylight dream while rowing the books without getting any mass destruction she did yesterday. The library is still messed up and she needs to clean up before Doctor Bey almost fired her.

The bookshelf stood at its place. The men's staff helped her with the bookshelf and the rest was given to Evelyn. She sighed harder thinking about the Hamunaptra and the man who called himself as Ardeth Bay came into her house yesterday.

"Evelyn." She looked up and looked around with a blank mind. "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? What did I do?"

"Oh my god, Evie!" Meet Eman Al-Jafar. She is Evelyn's friend. Eman's family owns the restaurant in Cairo. She dragged the chair and sat opposite her. "You've been dreaming, Evie. In the middle of the-" Eman looked around the place. "Mess. Who did this? Has this place been robbed?"

Evelyn shook no, she spoke. "I caused all this mess, Eman. I lose my balance and the ladder spins then crashes the bookshelf into the next bookshelf and this is what you see now."

"Okay. That even makes sense but don't worry. I'll bring you something to cheer you up." Eman laid the bags on the table. "I bring you food from my restaurant. Shawarma. Your favorite. Because I know you still haven't eaten your lunch and look what I bring more for you." Another food and drink came out from the bags. "Let's eat shall we."

Later. "Hamunaptra. Are you insane, Evie!"

"Why not?"

"People are not familiar with that place and beside that place is cursed. I know because my dad is an Egyptian man married to my American mom. My dad told everything about Egyptian history, even the Hamunaptra. Evie? Don't try to get yourself killed by going there with Jonathan. Jonathan couldn't protect you neither could you both protect each other."

Eman sighed, "This is my final word. DON'T!" She takes a large bite of her Shawarma. "And beside why are you so obsessed with Hamunaptra, you know the history about that, that is why it has been hidden from the people who are trying too. The Pharaoh is not so fond of hearing it."

"A treasure chamber of course and I always say that I want to study more about any ancient place and Hamunaptra is first on my list."

"Forget it, Evie! I'd rather help you clean your mess than hear about Hamunaptra. You still need to clean this shit." Evelyn eyes her. "My mom is American so I talk like her. Don't judge me. We finished our food then we cleaned all this mess okay."

Evelyn nodded her head and smiled.

It was almost evening and almost ended her shift. Jonathan bursts inside the room where he saw Eman and Evelyn rowing the books together.

But that wasn't his intention but good news for Evelyn. He breathes heavily, chuckles and smiles. "I found him, Evie! I found HIM!" The two women looked up from the books. "The man who could bring us to Hamunaptra." Evelyn throws the books and runs toward Jonathan.

Eman really doesn't like this. "Who, Jonathan? Who?" Her both hands grabbed his collar neck. "Tell me."

"He was an American explorer. He says he has been there in Hamunaptra before."

"Bring me to him."

"Whoa. Whoa, Evie. We talked about this." Evelyn and Jonathan turn to Eman. "Do you believe that an American explorer could help you to fulfill your wishes?"

"Why not? Why are we not trying, Eman." Evelyn walked up to her. "I really want to go to Hamunaptra, Eman. I want to know what it feels like to be there and what is so mysterious behind this Hamunaptra. You can come if you want to."
