Cairo's Hotel

Shaleigh's POV

"Rick you cannot be serious?" I huffed in a rather ticked off fashion. "You cannot just leave me behind like a child who does not know how to take care of themselves!" I yelled as I threw someone's abandoned shoe at his head and missed it by an inch.

"Hey! Don't you throw someone's shoe at me! How old are you? Eight!" He yelled back. "I am only doing this for your own good." He glared at me. "I know that you can take care of yourself in a fight." Rick let out a frustrating sigh. "You have proven yourself again, and again on how good you put up a fight," he stared into my eyes "when you were attacked back at the tomb I was scared. You and Tamaryn are the only family I have and I do not want to lose another family member."

"I know," I sighed "I'm scared too, but this is my fight! I was dragged into this by destiny or whatever you want to call it. I am not going to hide." I tried to hold back the urge to scream and slap him.

"Hey Rick," Tamaryn busted trough the doors "Evy is throwing a hissy fit can you please come and help us?"

"What you can't handle her yourself?" Rick teased.

"She's just as bad as Shaleigh!" Tamaryn huffed.

"Hey!" I scolded.

"I'll be there in a minute." Rick chuckled as Tamaryn walked away and as he turned back to me. "Ok, if it makes you feel any better, don't see it as hiding. Think of it as protecting Evy and the dead beat Americans." Rick smiled.

"Oh! I guess." I sighed. "You really care for her don't ya big guy?"

"Actually I do," Rick's eyes glistened. "so will you promise me that you'll protect her?" Rick sort of pleaded.

"Yeah yeah, I'll protect your future girlfriend." I smiled. "But you have to promise me something."

"What's that?" He asked.

"You'll have to stop waiting around and make your move on her!" I laughed as I playfully punched his arm.

"I promise." He pretend to rub his arm like it was hurt.

"You people can't just leave me like some old carpetbag!" Evy yelled from the living quarters of our hotel room.

"Well my girl is throwing a fit so I'll just go and take care of that right now." Rick walked to where Evy was throwing her fit.

"And who put you in charge here Mr. O'Connell?" She glared at Rick as he approached her. He threw her over his shoulders in a swift movement. "O'Connell! What do you think you are doing? Jonathan!" She panicked. While Jonathan just came up with pathetic excuses about not helping his sister.

"Rick when I said to make your move on her that is not what I meant."I laughed at the scene that just unfolded in front of my eyes, until I felt someone pull me into the same room that Evy was thrown into just mere seconds ago.

"Hey what's the big idea?" I yelled just as I saw Rick shut the door. "Rick I'm going to kick your ass later for this!" I banged my fists against the door.
