We slide under a little hole, Eve and Jonathan take head start. I stop looking back at O'Connell, he tries to help the same man Beni, he extends a hand saying come on over and over. It's to late as the door closes, he takes his hand back in defeat, he looks up at me. I nod and pull him up, running together.

We make it outside, still running as the buildings crash down. Pillars hit the ground making us barely dodge it. We run past, I look back seeing the sand sink into the ground, we see camels speeding out in front, until they're out of the area. We stop and notice we're safe, the whole place crashes down, puffing up dust and sand, the rumbling finally stops as we stare.

The building know as Hamunaptra is now only a tale, it doesn't exist anymore. The treasures and book is gone, with Imhotep and Anck su namun. Jonathan screams making us jump, we turn seeing the leader alive and well. He tapped Jonathan on the shoulder as he sits on the camel. I smile, knowing that he's safe, he looks towards me and nods his head.

"Thank you very much, for a scare!" Jonathan bickers to him, grabbing his heart.

"You four have earned the respect, honor, and gratitude of my people. We thank you, for shutting Imhotep away for hopefully hundreds of years." Jonathan waves his hand as I smile at him.

"Oh, it was nothing." He says tiredly, the leader kisses his hand then raises it to his forehead, giving a polite way of saying goodbye.

"We'll see you again?" I say, taking a step.

"Of course." He warmly smiles and bows, he turns and rides away.

"Stay out of trouble." O'Connell states.

"He's just gonna leave us here....okay..." Jonathan annoying aims to the leader. "Well, we'll be going empty-handed...again." He says to Evelyn, then to us.

"I wouldn't say that." O'Connell replies, I turn to him, seeing his gaze attack mine. I watch his eyes rail down to my lips then back to my stare.

"Oh please..." Jonathan says while turning towards his camel. "Will you give me a kiss? Ow!" Evelyn swats him.

"Y/N finally gets a man and you ruin the moment." I smirk, as I turn back to O'Connell.

I lean in slowly as he does as well, we kiss affectionately, as he softly grazes my shoulder. He pulls me close as he deepens the kiss, I back away seeing his loving look. He then grazes his nose with mine, we stop and smile at each other. Jonathan hops on the camel as Evelyn goes behind him. O'Connell helps me on, I lay on his lap bridal style from the lack of room, he grabs my waist with his left hand as he steers the camel with his right.

I look up and he smiles, giving me a peck again. I get flustered a bit as I hug his torso for balance. We ride back to Cairo peacefully, we wait for a boat outside at a table, O'Connell sits across from me. I chuckle as he smiles towards me.

"Listen, when we arrive....will we--" He cuts me off and grabs my hand.

"I want to be with you, and be next to you, wherever you go." I smile and lose my words.

"I'm not going back to America, I need to stay with my family." I look over to my siblings, Eve waves as Jonathan shakes his head.

"Trust me, I want the same. I am willing to move with you to London." I chuckle and kiss him, he grabs my face and moves my hair out the way.

"More adventures." he simply says, I repeat and stand up seeing the boat.

"More adventures." I copy, our hands walking to the boat as we meet up with Jonathan and Evelyn.
