Cairo prison. One of the worst hell holes on earth. Every low-life form of scumbag can be found here. The Warden, a first-rate scumbag himself, escorts Evy, Amelia, and Jonathan across the Gallows courtyard.

"Come, come! Step over the threshold. Welcome to Cairo Prison, my humble home," The warden, a first-rate scumbag said. He escorts them across the gallows courtyard

"You told me that you got it on a dig down in Thebes!" Evy whispered to her brother.

"Well, I was mistaken," Jonathan said, walking with his sister.

"You lied to me and Amelia," Evy almost shouted.

"I lie to everybody. What makes you so special?" He asked.

"I am your sister!"

"That just makes you more gullible."

"You stole it from a drunk at the local casbah!"

"Picked his pocket, actually," Johnathan corrected, "So I don't think it's a very good-" He turned around with his arm hooked onto Evy's and tried to escape, but she pulled them back around and let go of Johnathan.

"Stop being so ridiculous. Now, what exactly is this man imprisoned for?" Evy asked, approaching the Visitor's cell, a cell outside of the building, with Johnathan and Amelia close behind her.

The Warden was leaning against the bars of the cell and replied, "This I don't know, but when I heard you were coming, I asked him that myself," before calling out in Arabic.

"And what did he say?" Amelia asked.

"He said he was just looking for a good time," The Warden answered.

The interior cell door burst open. A man in chains, dragged by two guards, they shove him up to the cell bars. From the looks of it, he's been here a while; his face is half hidden by long hair and scraggly beard. The man was someone Amelia knew all her life, her brother, Richard O'Connell.

"This is the man you stole it from?" Evy asked her brother.

"Yes, exactly. So why don't we just go sniff out a spot of tiffin-"

"Who are you? And who're the broads?"

"Broads?!" Evy questioned, while Amelia said nothing and waited until she wanted to let Rick know who she is.

"I-I'm just a local sort of missionary chap, spreading the good word. But this is my sister Evy."

"How do you do?" Evy asked, politely.

"Oh, well. Guess she's not a total loss," Rick said, with his eyes still on Evy.

"I beg your pardon," She said with disgust at the Rick.

The warden then yells something in Arabic and then leaves.

"And this is our friend-"

"Hey, Rick," Amelia greeted, interrupting Jonathan, "How's prison treating you?"

"Amelia? What are you doing here?" Rick asked.

"Amelia, you know this man?" Evy asked her.

"Sometimes I wish I didn't, but, yes, I do. This is my brother, Rick," Amelia replied.

"Your brother?"

"Don't remind me."

"Ask him about the box," Jonathan whispered to Evy and Amelia.

"We found. . ."Evy began and noticed Rick was looking away, "Uh, excuse me. Un, we both found your puzzle box, and we've come to ask you about it."
