Third person's point of view.
Atem at next to the Warden with Jonathan and Evie behind her, the younger Carnahan was begging Atem to save the man, Jonathan watched the mysterious woman analyze the situation, he watched her stare at the American, Atem was trying to see if it would be necessary to save the young American, she wondered if he'd be able to keep up with her, as the siblings are already struggling, but upon his wrist in black ink, is one of the Medjai marks, this caused her to reacted.
"I will give you £100 to save this man's life." she snapped, "Madame, I would pay £100 just to see him hang." the Warden said not taking his eyes off the hangman's noose being put around the man's neck, "£200." she said upping the price, "Proceed!" he answered. "£300." he didn't respond. The hangman said something and the American answered but, it didn't sit well with him, turning to the Warden he spoke in Arabic,
Responding back in Arabic the Warden added in English, "Of course we don't let him go!" which got the American a smack upside the head, "£500!" Atem snapped and the Warden told them to wait, before turning to Atem, "And what else? I'm a very lonely man." he tried to touch her and she had had out her gun and it was aimed at his temple, which caused a wave of laughter to rumble threw the crowd of prisoners,
Out of anger at being laughed at he gave the order, and the floor was dropped out from under the American, "No!" both Atem and Evie shouted, "HA! HA! His neck did not break." The Warden laughed, "Oh, I'm so sorry. Now, we must watch him strangle to death." he said and Atem turned her gun back to the Warden, "Release him now, or it's a bullet in your tiny brain," she threatened, he didn't seem to think she'd do it, so she cocked the gun,
Putting a bullet into the chamber, "He knows the location to Hamunaptra!" Evie shouted rushing to stop Atem from killing the Warden. "You lie." he hissed while keeping an eye on Atem as she still held the gun near him, "I would never!" Evie snapped back, "Are you telling me this filthy, godless son of a pig knows where to find the City of the Dead?" he said thinking that adding all the names would mean anything,
"Yes!" Evie said taking Atem's seat to be better leveled with the Warden, "Truly?" he asked not trusting her, "Yes! And if you cut him down, we will give you... 10%," she said starting to bargain as she realized earlier with Atem that his love language is money. "50%" he countered, "Twenty." she tried, "Forty." he pushed, "Thirty!" she countered, getting ahead of himself he threw one last price, "Twenty five."
"Ah! Deal." she said and he knew then that he fucked up, groaning he waved to the guard, "Cut him down!" but the guard hesitated and Atem wasn't going to wait, and with a single shot she blew out the rope and it ripped and freed the American.
GIZA PORT - CAIRO
Atem stood at the plank to board their boat that would ride the water, while she waited for Evie and Jonathan, the pair of them having said they'd pack and meet her there, while she waiting on their new American friend. She saw them before she heard them, but it wasn't hard to tell that the only think on the younger woman's mind is their new friend, "Do you really think he's going to show up?" Evie asked both her hands full with her bags.
