It took them nearly three days to get back to Cairo and everyone had decided to stay together at a local hotel. Krista and Rick had gone home to pack a few things before heading over to the hotel with the rest of the group.
While Rick had gone down to the bar, Krista had stayed behind in the room to have a shower and change clothes.
The past few days had been very exhausting and all Krista wanted to get clean and take a nice long nap. Unfortunately that did seem to be an option. As soon as she exited the bathroom and began getting dressed, Krista heard a commotions coming from the adjoining room to theirs, Evy's room.
Quickly slipping on some clothes, Krista made her way to the door connecting the two rooms and opened it only to see her husband and Evy having some kind of argument. Evy's suitcase was lying open on the bed and half on her clothes were thrown in it.
"No we are not. We woke him up, and we must try and stop him." Krista heard Evy shout at Rick as she entered the room.
"We?! What we?! I didn't read that book; Kris and Jonathan didn't read the book. I told you not to play around with that thing." Rick yelled right back at her as he finally stopped trying to pack her things, since she kept taking them back out.
Evy groaned in frustration, "Alright then, Me, I, ...I read the book, I woke him up and I intend to stop him. I'm sure Krista agrees with me." She motioned over to her sister.
Krista opened her mouth to respond but was cut off, "How!? You heard the man; no mortal weapons can kill this guy. And leave your sister out of this."
Evelyn grabbed the bra the Rick was twisting around and threw it into a drawer, "Then we'll have to find some immortal ones; and Krista has every right to be a part of this conversation, it affects her too."
Rick threw his hands up, "There goes that 'we' again. Not me, and not Kris, we are outta here!"
Rick stuffed a pile of Evy's shoes into the trunk, only for Evy to kick the lid shut, slamming it on his fingers. Rick yelped and angrily stormed around the room towards Krista as he sucked on his throbbing fingers.
"According to that Book, once this creature has been reborn, his curse will spread, and as he grows in strength, so will his curse grow, infecting the people until the whole of the earth is destroyed." Evy informed him as she chased after him.
Rick groaned, "Yeah? So? Is that my problem?"
"It's everybody's problem!" Evy shouted incredulously
Rick glanced at Krista, then down at her growing belly before finally sighing as he looked over at his sister-in-law "Look Evy, I appreciate you saving my life and all, but when I signed on, I agreed to take you out there and bring you back, and I did, now were even, end of job, end of story, contract terminated."
"That's what I am to you? A contract?" She questioned bitterly.
"Look me and Kris, we've got a baby on the way, I can't stay here and put her in jeopardy because of a dumb decision you made. Now, you can either tag along with us, or you can stay here and play around with Mister Maggot."
