CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

"You are talking like wasn't yourself Evelyn. You taught him well, he's smarter than you and he's tougher than you thought. Like I'd say Imhotep will not harm Dakota because Dakota is his son, he senses it, he knows Dakota is everything that you and Imhotep have".

Evelyn cried. "I love him so much, Ardeth. I just can't.. what if Imhotep brainwashed Dakota's mind and forgot about me for being his mother".

"He will not do that Evelyn. What makes you think Imhotep will do that to Dakota?" sigh, Ardeth gently patted her arm. "Dakota knows that. We'll get him back Evelyn. I can't promise but I will, let's say Imhotep wants to spend his time more than he ever had. Let Imhotep know Dakota, the bonding between the father and son".

"I don't trust them. I don't trust Imhotep, how could I trust them, you don't know them, Ardeth".

This now Ardeth sighs loud, inhaled and exhaled. His eyes on the view. "I know them more than you do Evelyn. Just they won't". he turned to Jonathan. "You alright my friends?"

"Should I? I have my responsibility toward my nephew, being up in the sky is the best thing ever you could barely imagine. Like you flying without wings".

Jonathan looks at Ardeth again. "It sounds like a song".

Ardeth laughed. "When you both decide to leave Cairo. I know exactly what happened to you Evelyn. McGowan told me something that made me realize I should do the same thing before I get old".

"Having a bunch of children? A wife?" Jonathan questions him.

Ardeth nods. "Family of my own. Just I don't know when or where. What does it feel like having a child, Evelyn?" Ardeth asks her.

Changing the topic, he wants Evelyn to forget all her words about Imhotep earlier. Maybe with this conversation she feels calm and relaxed.

"Disaster I told you this. Jonathan couldn't get enough sleep. Dakota always woke up and cried in the middle of the night until I told him about Imhotep. Dakota immediately falls asleep till morning. Was that miracle to you?"

Shrug. "Dakota knows you just talk about his father then fall asleep. Oh and yes, I received a letter from McGowan and he will soon be a father. Happy for him. That is what we call a circle of life. You live and die".

"So are you saying we were chasing this boy while the boy was abducted by his own father? This is a serious shit family matter". said Piper. "That is why we are stuck here in because of this, what he's gonna do over there".

"Taking over the world. That includes your ass". Ardeth laughed. Piper gulped. "That's what we are afraid of, we can know what capable Imhotep will take over the world. Wasn't just Imhotep I was talking about, the woman with them is more dangerous than he is".

Evelyn's eyes shoot at him. "Woman? what would she do to conquer the world together with Imhotep".

"Nah". Ardeth breathed. "More than that. He will raise the army's of Anubis. I cannot let this happen. That's why we are here, if he did the boy in danger".

Evelyn shook her head. "I don't understand the part of that woman?"

"You will see Evelyn. She is capable of killing us".

Karnac. The brakes on the train suddenly lock up. The train starts to screech to a stop near the huge temple at Karnac.

Men shout in Arabic and broken English. Something about the boy has escaped!. Several men on top of the train open fire.

Imhotep hears them shooting at something, and suddenly he thinks about Dakota. He bolted out from the compartment. Baltus Hafez, Meela and Lock-Nah running through the corridor they see Imhotep.
