Fire And Desire

Cairo Prison

Present time 1926. Cairo, Egypt. Cairo prison

~Third Person's POV~

In his cell lays Rick O'Connell. He lays in the dirty cell in silence. All he can think about is his sister. Desire. His only family. All he can think about is how he left her. "God I'm stupid" he thought out loud. The jingling of keys us what brought him out of his thoughts. "Visitors for the prisoner" said the guard. Sitting up from his hard jail bed Rick looks confused. Before he can say anything he is dragged out of his cell.

~Evelyn's POV~

We arrive at the prison holding Rick O'Connell. The man that had the ancient box before my idiot brother Jonathan stole it from him. "Step over the threshold. Welcome to Cairo prison and my humble home." the Warden said. We followed him through the crowded, dirty court yard in the unpleasant prison." You told me you found it on a dig in Thebes." I muttered to Jonathan." I was mistaken" he replied. "You lied to me" I retorted. "Yeah. Well I lie to everyone. What makes you think you're so special?" He retorted back. "I'm your sister!" I exclaimed. "Well that makes you all the more gullible. He said. "Jonathan you stole it from a drunk at the local pub." I told him ending the argument.

We are led to these bars and thrown against the bars is the only and only Rick O'Connell. "Who are you?" He asked Jonathan. "And whose the broad?" Rick continued as he saw at me. Jonathan introduced him and myself. "Well I guess she's not a total loss." He stated. "I beg your pardon?" I asked offended. Jonathan tries to calm me down and tells me to ask Rick about the puzzle box. Rick tells us no. "No?" I asked confused. "No. You came to ask me about Hamunaptra." He stated clear as day. "How do you know that the box pertains to Hamunaptra?" I wondered. "That's where I was when I found it. I was there." He replied. "How do we know that's not a load of pig swallow?" Jonathan asked suspicious. "Do I know you?" Rick asked suspicious as well. "N-n-no I just have one of those faces." Jonathan replies nervous. Next thing you know Rick punches Jonathan and Jonathan lays on the ground in pain. Rick gets clubbed in the back by the guards watching us.

"You were actually at Hamunaptra?" I asked surprised. "Yeah. I was there." He stated smiling me. "You swear?" I asked. "Every damn day." He replied not knowing what I meant. "No I meant-" I was about to explain when he interrupted me. " I know what you meant. Seti's place. The City Of The Dead." He retorted. "Could you- could you tell me how to get there?" I questioned. "I mean the exact location." I continued. He kept asking me "Do I really want to know?" urging me to come closer to the bars. When I was close enough he crashed his lips into mine. The guards quickly pulled him away. "Then get me the hell outta here!" He exclaimed as he was dragged away. "Where are they taking him?" I asked the Warden. "To be hanged." He replied.

All of the prisoners and guards gathers around as Rick was about to be hanged. I was trying to persuade the warden to let Rick live with money. When I got to 500 pounds he asked me what else and told me he was a very lonely man to which I swatted at his hand. He got angry and shouted something in Arabic and in that moment Rick was beginning to be hung. I told him that Rick knew where Hamunaptra was. He questions me about it but finally agrees to cut Rick down. I stand up and look at Rick triumphantly.
