The Medjai's Keeper

Chapter 2

"Rick I may not be mother b-" She started in a calm but irritated tone until interrupted by the man himself.

He gave her a blank stare. "Nooo Ya think ?"

She ignored his blatant response and continued, "But at this moment you are in no right to continue with this immature attitude. You realize money is not going to solve this issue right? I'm not inputting anymore to save your ass. So we're going to have to find another way." 

"What about parents?"

She looked at him with a smirk, "let's just say I'm done worrying parents so at this moment they believed me when I said you're in Paris living the best single man's life."

"Don't tell me they fell for it."  Rick groaned defeated.

As Aurelia was going to reply, she was interrupted by the two strangers bickering.

"Is this is the man that you stole from?" Said the brunette towards her partner.

"Yes, exactly" he started to look around, ''so why don't we just go sniff out a spot of tiffin.."

Rick looked towards his sister confused. She shrugged. "who are you?" He asked the fella in the suit and then looked at the women by his side, "And who's the broad?"

Aurelia raised an eyebrow towards Ricks remark.

"Broad? I'm just a local sort of missionary chap, spreading the good word and all that," then looked towards the fine lady nervously, "But this is my sister, Evy."

"How do you do " Evy replied gleefully. 

"Oh, well. Guess she's not a total loss." Ricked had finished while giving her a quick view. 

"I beg your pardon"She replied insulted.

Aurelia cringed. "Excuse my brother, he lost all forms of manners." before sending him a scolding look. 

The warden began to yell some obscurities behind them and left with a comment that he'll be returning in a moment.

Aurelia noticed the siblings whispering in between one another before Evy spoke up, "We have found... Uh... Hello. Excuse me."By this point Rick looked clearly uninterested. "Um, we both found your puzzle box, and we've come to ask you about it" She finished joyfully.

"No." Rick responded simply.

"No?" The siblings replied confused.

"No. You came to ask me about Hamunaptra." Now it was Aurelia's turn to look confused at them. 

"How do you know that the box pertains to Hamunaptra?"

"Because that's where I was when I found it. I was there." Aurelia couldn't help but hide her smile looking at Rick talking to them as if they were eager children.

Jonathan scooted closer towards Rick and chipped in, "But how do we know that's not a load of pig's wallow?"

"You know...Do I know you?" He quickly turned suspicious of this suit guy.

'No, no, no." he swatted his arm, "I've just got one of those faces-" Recognition seemed to go off in Rick's mind as he suddenly punched Jonathan straight at his face. The punch threw him to the ground. However that only got Rick to receive a hard blow as well from one of the guards behind him, "Damn." he gritted his teeth.

Aurelia gasped and quickly knelt near Jonathan. Her moral instincts kicked in. She noticed how Evy walked closer towards Rick and ignored her brother sprawled on the floor.
