Chapter 4 part 1

London

At night finally the O'Connell family made it back to their home, tired from their trip Rick grab all of their belongings as Sophie was trying to figure out the history of the bracelet they had found back at the temple.

"I think the bracelet is some sort of guide to the lost oasis of Ahm Shere." Sophie said as she was walking towards her and her husband room.

"Sophie, I know what you're thinking, and the answer is NO. We just got home." said Rick and put their suitcases on the floor, like he was making a statement.

"That's the beauty of it. We're already packed." replied Sophie trying to persuaded her husband.

"Why don't you just give me one good reason?" said Rick as he was walking closer to his wife following along Sophie's act.

"It's just an oasis darling..." said Sophie very innocently as she was removing Rick's hat and got closer to him and continue saying as she was removing his clothes"... a beautiful, exciting, romantic oasis."

"Mmm. The kind with the white, sandy beach and the palm trees and the cool, clear, blue water and we could have some of those big drinks with the little umbrellas in them." Rick started saying and pulled his wife closer to him like he was about to kiss her.

"Sounds good." said Sophie as she lean in to kiss Rick.

"Sounds too good." said Rick already knowing how his wife worked, he knew that something wasn't right so before she kiss him Rick grab her shoulders and pulled her away and said.

"What's the catch."

"Supposedly it's the resting place of Anubis's army." replied Sophie already knowing that seducing him was not a option.

"You see? I knew there's a catch. There's always a catch." said Rick and pulled away from her and together started to walked into the stairs.

"How did I know that? and let me guess. It was commanded by that Scorpion King guy?" continue saying Rick.

"Yes, but he only awakens once every 5,000 years." replied Sophie and she smile at Rick as she was thinking to herself how much loved that man.

"Right. And if someone doesn't kill him, he's gonna wipe out the world." said Rick and follow his wife.

"How did you know?" asked Sophie not remembering telling him that part of the story.

"I didn't. But that's always the story." answer Rick as he was admiring his wife while they keep walking up the stairs.

"The last known expedition to actually reach Ahm Shere was sent by Ramses IV over 3,000 years ago. He sent over a thousand men." explained Sophie to Rick trying to get him to want to go.

"And none of them was ever seen again." said Rick not really exited.

"How did you know?" asked again Sophie surprise that he knew that.

"I didn't. But that's always the story." replied Rick.

"Did I mention there was a pyramid of gold?" asked Sophie trying again if that would get him want to go.

"Twice." replied Rick again not interested of going.

"Alexander the Great sent troops in search of it." Sophie Keep trying to persuade Rick.

"Hooray for him." was the only thing Rick said not really caring and very stubborn about the subject.

"So did Caesar." Sophie kept trying.

"Yeah, look what happened to his career." Rick said again not really caring.

"And Napoleon." Sophie refuse to the idea of not going.
