"Evelyn, you know what happened in the past!? You have some ego to be asking this." I scoff and walk away from the shelves. I cross my arm and hear her sigh.

"I know, I know, it hurts to ask but--we need you. You've done this before, and this is a big deal, I mean it's really serious." I cut her off angrily.

"How serious? What could possibly be so big that you need my presence to accompany you!--" I throw my hands in the air.

"We found someone who know's the location of the Hamunaptra!" My mouth goes agape, I stop like I've been frozen in time. My throat dries as I process her sentence, I gulp hard in my throat while closing my mouth. "Uh? Y/N?" I stare straight, almost dazing out completely.

"I'm on my way." I end the call and storm out of the library, swinging the door open, flipping the open sign at the same time.

Once I arrive home, I instantly open my closet doors, pulling out old bags and clothes. I grab my brown satchel, I toss it onto the bed and continue looking for another bag. I find my suitcase and pile clothes in. I sit on my suitcase, squishing the pile, I shut the case successfully and lock it. I look over to my satchel, knowing the guns and swords are still in there. It haunts me to look at it, but I can't keep holding on to the past. Be strong, I need to, I got this....yeah. I freeze and silently look around and stand up, I think to myself.

I don't even know where they are...ugh, I'm such an idiot. I go over to my kitchen, grabbing the white phone off the wall. I punch in the numbers and hold the cold phone to my ear, tucking my arms into the other as I keep my grip. A few rings come in, making me change my focus towards my nails, picking at them as I wait. Then my sister speaks, resulting in my head snapping up.

"Ended the call too early--" I cut her off annoyed.

"Yes, Evelyn I know. Anyways wheres the location I'm headed to?" I put my free hand on the kitchen counter.

"Cairo prison..." She states nervously.

"You're sending me to a prison? Oh my-bloody hell!" I yell at her.

"Hey! Y/N! No cursing!" I scoff and end the call on her by angrily slamming the phone.

I quickly grab my satchel and suitcase and head off, I throw both my things in the back and drive. I stop by the babysitting house and quickly explain, I gives goodbyes to the children and feel my heart clench as I back out of the driveway. I scratch my head as I go to the airport, those kids deserve me to be there. No! This will be a three day thing, and I'll return with no problems, I'll find amazing things, make new discoveries, it'll be fantastic! I sigh, I'm really trying to make the best out of this.

Now, I have to get an expensive plane ticket there.....great. Maybe Jonathan will pay me back, I know Evelyn won't. Hopefully I wont hear any talk about marriage...family...or kids from her either! She always wants to pair me up with someone, but I keep telling her I'll manage--or I'll find someone when I look for them. I bite my lip, I kind of want to marry someone from London, same page in life. We could live there, and not separate from my siblings, wouldn't be so bad.

I arrive to the airport and buy the ticket, as I hand over my card it makes me cringe. My cash is being used for something important, yeah think of it that way. I grab the card again and slowly walk into the plane. I look down at my passport, I shake my head, trying to excuse the negative thoughts. As I sit down looking at the sky, I breathe in and out, I will come out of this alive, no worries, right? Right...I'm with my family, they'll help--actually they don't know how to fight for themselves...maybe Jonathan? No- he's a pansy, can't even kill spiders.
