"Hi. Dakota are you?" he nods. "I am your mother's friend". She smiles widely. "Meela".

He studied her. "Funny. I didn't know my mum could make a friend like you, even Harry's mum she can't.. why you?"

"I'm an Egyptologist like your mother. Well we've met in Abu Simbel Temples. She was digging something on the wall and fell on her back. I was there and caught her". she lied, never ever she met Evelyn in person. "Clumsy she is.. your mother".

Dakota nodded again. "That's her. Why are you here? If you want to see my mum she is probably somewhere around, library or home".

"I know. But I'm here to see you".

"For what?"

She shrugged. "For fun perhaps. I already know your mother, it is time I need to know you. She never stops talking about you, precious you are, brilliant".

"I'm not interested in that excuse. I have something to do besides talking to you without a point".

She smirked, said. "Just like your father". Dakota eyed her as she mentioned Imhotep. "I know your father too. Did you know?"

"Look, lady. I don't want to waste my time talking about him. I don't care if he's out there alive, seeking for my mum and me. I just don't care. I barely knew him, not even his face. So I suggest... please leave us alone".

He walked past Meela, smirking as she watched him. This is just phase one, phase two she wants to meet the mother, Evelyn Carnahan.

Meela eyeing the children running out the building school, compared to Dakota. He's too mature to do so.

"What about you doing something else besides digging something? A teacher perhaps". said Anita suggesting Evelyn look for another job. "You can't be an explorer for the rest of your life, Evy".

"I love to explore like my father. I can't quit just like that. Oh, Anita.. do support me. I love this job".

"This is not a real job, Evy. You were exploring by yourself then when you found something valuable, you kept it for yourself or Jonathan sold it. It's kind of a big money he got from that dig".

Evelyn purred her lips. She really loves this job. "There a family needs someone to take care of their disabled son".

"Disabled?"

Anita nodded her head. She dropped the poster right in front of Evelyn. She took it and read the poster.

Evelyn dropped the poster back to the table, her eyes looked up at Anita. "Bettany? English?"

"Yes. They say their son suddenly fell unconscious on the bathroom floor. Since then he's been Tetraplegic. He's a successful and active sportsman until this".

"Why now?"

"Not why now? His parents hired more than a carer for his son, apparently he made them go away, out of his life".

"Why?"

Anita takes a drink. "He's a grown up man who doesn't like being taken care of like a five year old boy. Are you kidding? Of course he will make their life miserable and quit their job to look after him. I mean who wants to be like that".

"If that spoiled man behaves like that, why are you suggesting this to me?".

Anita reaches her hand then smiles. "Just try out, Evy. Forget all your adventures, take a new life. Who knows he might be changed as you enter his life".
