Heather's POV

"So what are their names again?" I ask Rick.

"Jonathan and his sister is Evelyn, but prefers being called Evie" he states.

"And Evie saved you from being hang?" I ask and he nods his head. "Well, then I have to thank her. Do you see them?" I ask him. He looked around and nodded towards the boat. Where a young man and woman were talking at the base of the ramp.

"Personally, I think he's filthy, rude and a complete scoundrel. I don't like him one bit" Evie tells her brother.

"Anyone I know?" Rick asks her and they look  at us. She looking at Rick in awe and I giggle.

"Heather Jones, Rick's adoptive little sister. A pleasure to see you again Miss Carnahan" I say smiling. I remember her from the museum library the other day. She gave me the book on Seti the first before going back to organizing shelves. While I returned to my apartment.

"Miss Jones what a pleasant surprise" she says smiling.

"I hope you don't mind me tagging along, but this will be great research for my paper" I tell her.

"Of course not" she states and then turns back to Rick. Who had been speaking to Jonathan while we spoke. "Mister O'Connell, can you look me in the eye, and guarantee me this is not some sort of flimflam? Because if it is, I'm warning you..." she starts to say.

"You're warning me?" he asks stepping into her personal space. But she doesn't back away. "My whole damn garrison believed in it so much, that without orders, we marched halfway across Libya and into Egypt to find that city. All we found was sand and blood" he tells her. "I'll take your bags" he states taking her and my bags. I follow him onto the boat.

(That night)

"So Miss Carnahan, is it true that Hamunaptra is cursed?" I ask her curious. We're sitting at a table by the railing of the boat.

"I don't believe in curses, but I believe the Book of Amun-Ra is there" she states.

"That'd be the find of the century" I tell her smiling.

"Yes, well..." she starts to say only to be cut off by Rick dropping a heavy bag on the table.

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you both" he states and I roll my eyes.

"The only thing that scares me Mr O'Connell are your manners" Evelyn tells him.

"Still angry about the kiss huh?" he asks her.

"Oh if you call that a kiss" she huffs going back to her book. He unwraps the bag. To reveal a bunch of weapons. "Did I miss something?" she asks him.

"Are we going into battle?" I ask him as I examine one of the knives.

"There's something out there, you know, something under that sand" he tells us as he sheathes a gun.

"Yes, I'm hoping to find a certain artifact, a book, actually, my brother thinks there's treasure. What do you think is out there?" she asks us.

"In a word, evil" he states.

"The Tuaregs and the Bedouin believe that Hamunaptra is cursed, they call it, 'the doorway to hell'" I state.

"Ahmar is Ossirion. 'Passageway to the underworld', actually" she tells me smiling. Before turning back to Rick. "I don't believe in fairy tales and hokum, Mister O'Connell. But I do believe that one of the most famous books in history is buried out there. The Book Of The Living. It's what first interested me in Egypt as a child. It's why I came here, sort of a life's pursuit" she explains.

"And the fact that they say it's made out of pure gold, makes no never-mind to you, right?" he asks her.

"You know your history" we tell him smiling.

"I know my treasure" he corrects and I roll my eyes.

"I'm going to call it a night, don't stay up to late you two" I tell them before leaving. I go to the room Evie and I am sharing. I change into my white nightgown and start to brush my hair. Afterwards I brush my teeth and lay down on the double bed. Falling asleep. (Nightgown: https://cdn0.rubylane.com/_pod/item/145474/vc2566/Vintage-Olga-Nightgown-Body-Silk-Size-pic-1-220%3A5.5-55-l-59-ea.jpg )

I wake up to Rick shouting and the smell of smoke. I look up to see Rick shooting someone in black robes. I run over to Evie and Rick pulls us from the room. "The map, I forgot the map!" Evie shouts and goes to run back into the room. But Rick grabs her arm stopping her.

"Relax, I'm the map. All up here" he assures her.

"Oh that's comforting" she says sarcastically. We got outside to see the boat on fire. People jumping over the sides into the water. The Americans fighting the men in black outfits. Rick stopped to reload as bullet holes approached his head. Evie and I pulled him back before he could get hit.

He nodded his head in thanks grabbing his other pistol. He leads us to the railing shooting the anyone in black outfits. "Can you swim?" he asks Evie.

"Yes, if the occasion calls for it" she states.

"Trust me, it calls for it" he states. He picks her up and throws her over the side. I jump in after her and we started to swim to shore. Rick, Jonathan and a smelly guy join us.

"We lost everything; all our tools and equipment. All our clothes" Evie whines. As I try to hide my wet chest. Rick notices and puts a jacket around me. I give him a smile in thanks.

"Hey O'Connell! Looks to me like I got all the horses!" a skinny weasel of a man shouts from across the river.

"Hey Beni! Looks to me like your on the wrong side of the river!" Rick shouts back. Beni looks up at the stars, then angrily kicks the sand. "There's a village nearby, we should be able to get food, clothes and transportation there" he tells us. Then leads the way and it takes us all night to reach the village.
