Evelyn charged through the museum with the group tagging behind her. As she reached the end of the corridor she opened two doors revealing two men in the center of the room. 

"You!" both groups shouted instantaneously. 

"Hello." Jean said, waving at both of them. 

"Your highness." The Medjai decked in black replied and did a flourished bow. 

Jean face-palmed and shook her head at the gentleman in front of her. 

"How many times must I say I'm nothing special." she groaned to him.  The rest of the group looked merely confused at the two. How did they meet? And what did he mean by Jean as "Highness"? Jean looked at her siblings with a sheepish grin to their bewildered faces. 

"Long story." Jean flatly stated to her siblings. 

The Medjai simply shook his head and sighed, gesturing towards the Curator to explain. 

" We are a secret society that has been guarding the Creature that all you awoke. He was a Priest in Ancient times and in love with her highness the Princess Asernath. At least, that's what everyone thought until the High Priestess of Asernath's temple found her on the floor in Imhotep's arms poisoned and later on finding the king being stabbed to death. We can only conclude that Imhotep became power hungry for the throne and immortality, so he sacrificed his beloved to gain immortality and to bring her back an immortal as well. You're sister here is the reincarnation of her, partly in soul and full in body. Fortunately if that's all he's after we have enough time to destroy the Creature and re-establish normal order." 

Everyone stood there with their mouths gaping, Jean just shaking her head in disbelief. She was just a normal person with health issues, not very pretty in her eyes and certainly no reincarnation of an ancient princess that a mummy is mistaking her for. Just as she thought that everyone went herding towards the Rosetta stone that was on display in the museum. Evelyn was trying to decipher where they could find the other book back at the ruins they escaped from. While the Curator and Evelyn did that everyone else took note that the townspeople were in a trance-like and zombified state, under the rule of Imhotep. And heading straight towards the museum. The creature raised his recently regenerated hands in the air and roaring "keep on searching!" in ancient Egyptian. The crowd suddenly up-roared and started banging on the barricaded doors, make small cracks in the thick, wooden doors. 

"Evie hurry up, those doors aren't going to hold much longer." Jean nervously stated, biting her lip and slowly backing away from the railing. 

"Patience is a virtue." Evelyn chastised back to her sister earning a look of disbelief from Rick. 

"Not right now it isn't!" he sarcastically said. 

"I'm just going to start the car." Jonathan nervously laughed, backing away before sprinting to the other doors. While he did that Jean tried to help the rest figure out the stone. Just as Evelyn found the answer the doors busted open, people spilling over one another and trampling each other to reach the stairs to the group that was narrowly escaping to the other exit than Jonathan ran through. 

Imhotep strutted about in each room, trying to find the reincarnations of the two he was looking for, particularly his Lotus Bloom. He was enraged when he saw the foolish men from earlier escorting his lovely flower in some kind of moving transportation. He let out a painful and inhumane roar before the slaves he had created ran towards the vehicle, trying to stop the group from escaping. He saw his love look up with a confused and pained expression before her twin sped off down the narrow streets, far from him and the museum...
