Evelyn Carnahan was placing books in their proper place when she heard a giggle. She glanced down to see Addilyn, her brother Jonathan's daughter. She smiled at her and got back to work, seeing a book that belonged into the T section. Evie tried to get the shelf when her ladder came off the shelf. Addilyn ducked out of the way just in time to the bookshelves go down like dominos.

They both look over to the door as the Curator walks through the door. "Sons of the Messiah! Give me frogs, flies, locusts, anything but this! Compared to you, they are a joy!" Addilyn grew angry but kept her mouth shut while Evie gathered books. "I'm sorry, it was an accident." The Curator glances around, "When Ramesses destroyed Syria, that was an accident, but you are a catastrophe! Why do I put up with you?" Addilyn walked up to him "You put up with her because she is the only one to organize your library and decode your papers.

He looked down at her, "No I put up with her because her parents were our finest patrons, who needs smart women! Clean this up before I get back!" He leaves in a huff, while Evie walks toward the back. Addilyn catches up to her as Evie walks slowly. As they walk pass a sarcophagus a dry mummy pops up. "Dad, you shouldn't scare Aunt Evie!" Jonathan laughs as Evie is trying to come up with an insult. "Have you no respect for the dead?" Evie finally asks him, Jonathan looks at her, "I wish to join them right about now." Addilyn glares at him, "Don't say that you have me and Aunt Evie."

Jonathan suddenly he pulls a strange box out from his coat. Evie starts to complain but she still looks at it. Jonathan keeps asking if it something interesting, "Jonathan I think you found something." Addilyn looks to her father, "Dad that's so cool."
