Neat, shame we can't take most of that gold with us since it weighs a ton, the museum will keep most of it and it's going to be hard selling the gold we do have without awkward questions unless we melt it down. But I guess I'm over thinking it.
Anyway let's see what the doctors are planning.

quote:
You decide to stay in the alcove. You don't want to risk being seen by anyone else.
Besides, you figure you can get away from these doctors.
Wrong.
"Grab him, Stuart!" the female doctor suddenly shouts. "Grab his legs!
You struggle to pull away, but the two doctors overpower you. Dr. Lacey - you can read her name tag - grabs your arms. The other guy, Stuart, hoists you by your legs.
They carry you through the emergency room, down a hospital hallway, and into a small, dark examining room.
With an evil grin on his face, Stuart locks the door. Then he picks up a tray full of gleaming surgical tools. One of the tools has a jagged, wheel-shaped razor on the end of it. Like a pizza cutter with a supersharp blade. Another one has pincers!
"Okay," he says. "Let's see what's inside this mummy."
quote:
See what's inside? Are they kidding?
The doctors close in on you, rubbing their hands together eagerly. "I'm going to enjoy this," Stuart says with a creepy smile.
"Let's find out what's in there," Dr. Lacey adds eagerly.
You stare at the surgical tools in terror. You want to scream. You want to yell for help. But when you open your mouth, no sound comes out.
You can't talk!
You'll never be able to explain that you're really a kid! What will you do?
You're desperate to escape. You scan the room, searching for something - anything - that will help you. You spot a chemical beaker full of some kind of clear liquid. You pick up the beaker and toss the liquid in Dr. Lacey's face!
"Hey!" she sputters. "He just threw water at me!"
Water? Your heart sinks. That was the only plan you had. And it didn't work.
These doctors are going to open you up for sure!
quote:
"Hold him down," Stuart yells. "I'll set up the X-ray machine."
X-rays? Is that all they're going to do?
Oh.
That won't be so bad. Maybe it will even be interesting.
You stop struggling and cooperate as the two doctors X-ray each and every part of your body. Even your head.
A short while later, Stuart strolls out of the darkroom, holding the X rays up to the light.
"I don't believe it," he mutters.
"What did you find?" Dr. Lacey asks Stuart. She stands next to him and peers at the X rays.
"He has no organs. No heart. No stomach. No brain," Stuart answers. "Of course, I didn't expect him to since he's a mummy."
"Then what's so unusual?" Dr. Lacey demands.
"This," Stuart says. "Look what I found inside his head!"
Dr. Lacey takes an X ray from Stuart and holds it up to the light. She gasps.
"Astonishing!" Dr. Lacey exclaims. "Amazing!"
"Extraordinary!" Stuart adds.
What's going on? Aren't they going to tell you? After all, it's your head!
quote:
"He has a computer chip in his brain!" Dr. Lacey cries.
Seriously?
You hop off the examining table and hurry over to get a look for yourself. Yup. It's true! There's some kind of weird computer chip in your brain.
For the next three days, the doctors perform six jillion tests on you. Luckily, they don't cut you open.
And guess what? It turns out that the ancient Egyptians were on the verge of discovering computer technologies! At least that's what one of the scientists thinks. The computer chip in your brain is simple, but it works. It allows you to move around.
At first, it's fun being a scientific miracle. You like all the attention. They put your picture in all the newspapers. Reporters come to interview you. They even make a TV special about you.
But after a while, the fun begins to wear off. You start to miss your family. Even Susie, the squirt.
So you decide to write Dr. Lacey a note. You want to explain that you're really a kid, not a mummy. And that you want her to help you change back.
But all of your writing comes out looking like ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics! Even you can't read it. It looks like this:
Which, translated, means:

The American looks like a nice guy. You think he's someone you can trust. And he might be able to help you get home. You decide to show him the diary.
"Hmmm," the American says, taking a magnifying glass from his suit pocket. He flips through the pages, studying them. "Verrrry interesting."
"Don't trust him!" the Egyptian guard whispers in your ear. "He's a thief!"
"I heard that. And I certainly am not a thief," the American declares. "My name is Webster MacArthur Woobly the third. But just call me Web. I'm a professor of ancient studies at Cairo University. And you are...?"
You introduce yourself.
"Nice to meet you," Web Woobly says. "Can I buy you a glass of lemonade in town? Cairo is just a few miles from here, and I'd like to talk to you about obtaining this diary."
Obtaining? As in buying it? Hmmm - sounds good to you.
"Don't go with him!" the Egyptian warns you.
Last chance to change your mind...
If you still trust Web Woobly, turn to PAGE 28.
If you trust the Egyptian instead, turn to PAGE 22.

You decide to trust Web Woobly.
He seems friendly. And with a name like that, how bad could he be? Besides, you like the sound of his offer. Lemonade - and possibly big bucks for the diary!
You'll worry about getting home later. Your new American pal may be able to help you.
"A cool drink would be very refreshing," Web Woobly says, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Let's go."
He puts one hand up in the air, as if he's hailing a taxicab in New York City. Then he sticks two fingers in his mouth and whistles.
Almost at once, a guy on a camel rides up.
"Need a lift, buddy?" the camel driver asks.
"Yes," Web Woobly says. Then he speaks a few words in Arabic to the camel driver. Pretty soon, the camel kneels down.
"Climb up," Web instructs you.
You do. But as soon as you're seated on the camel, you start to feel guilty. You know you're not supposed to get in cars with strangers! IS getting on a camel so different?
"Uh, I think I'll get down," you start to say.
"Too late," Web Woobly announces with a small laugh.
quote:
Before you can protest, Web Woobly climbs onto another camel. As soon as his camel starts walking, yours follows.
"Where are we going?" you ask nervously. Suddenly, this doesn't seem like a great idea. Especially since the camel isn't very comfortable to sit on. And boy, does it stink!
"To Cairo," Web replies.
Slowly the two of you make the bumpy nine-mile camel ride to the capital city of Egypt. When you arrive, Web takes you to a small cafe on a busy street and orders you the promised glass of lemonade.
"Now, my young friend," Web says. "Let's talk about the diary. How does two thousand dollars sound?"
Well - how does it sound?
If you like Web's offer, take it on PAGE 63.
If you think you can get more, bargain with him on PAGE 114.

"Two thousand dollars?" you say to Web. "You've got to be kidding. This diary must be worth a lot more than that."
Web's smile fades and he gives you an angry stare.
"Okay," he says grumpily. "How about four thousand?"
You shake your head no.
"Eight thousand?" Web suggests.
No.
"This is my last offer," Web says. "Twenty thousand."
Twenty thousand dollars? Is he serious? He's offering you that much money for the mummy's diary? It must be really valuable. Maybe it's worth millions!
You shake your head no.
"Hmmm," Web says, narrowing his eyes. He glares at you as if he hates you. Then his expression changes. The lemonade has arrived.
The Egyptian waiter sets a tall glass down in front of each of you. There's only one problem. His lemonade looks normal but your lemonade is blue!
quote:
Web glances at your glass of lemonade and smiles. "Special Egyptian recipe," he says. "I thought you might like it. It's sweeter this way." He leans back and waits for you to taste your drink first. He's being awfully polite.
What do you do? You don't want to offend him by not accepting the drink. And you are really thirsty. You can feel sand in the back of your throat.
But the lemonade is blue. And you're not so sure lemonade should be blue.
If you take a sip, turn to PAGE 85.
If you rudely reach across the table and take Web's drink instead, turn to PAGE 97.
For whatever reason, the description for the second choice here is incorrect. If you go to Page 97, you just refuse to drink the lemonade.

"What's wrong?" Web says. "Don't you want to try your lemonade? I'm sure it's much better now that I've sweetened it for you."
You shake your head. "I'm not thirsty," you declare.
Web Woobly eyes you carefully. Then he puts down the glass. A huge smile spreads across his face.
"Congratulations," he says. He reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a wallet. When he flips it open, you see his ID card.
"I'm from the FBI," he explains. "You've passed the test. Good job! I'm happy to inform you that you've been chosen to be part of a small team of kids who are going to help us catch international art-treasure thieves."
"Huh?" you grunt. You feel totally confused.
"You passed the test!" Web repeats, gleefully. "You didn't drink that lemonade, which shows that you have good sense and great instincts. You also have a good head for negotiating for valuable art treasures, I must add."
"I do?" you ask. What's this guy talking about?
quote:
You still look confused, so Web explains it all to you.
The diary you found on the floor in San Francisco? That was planted there by the FBI. When you went to the basement of the Pyramid Building, you found their fake version of the inside of a real pyramid.
"You thought you wandered through the basement and came out in Egypt, but you didn't," Web tells you. "We put a special sleeping gas in the air-conditioning ducts. You fell asleep, and while you were out cold, we had you flown out to Egypt. Your parents knew about this, of course. You woke up in the real pyramid and didn't remember a thing. And the rest has been a test. To see how you handle yourself in tough situations."
"Wow!" you exclaim. "Cool! So now I work for the FBI?"
"Yup," Web says. "You get to skip school for a whole year. And we'll even pay you. Congratulations!" He raises his glass of lemonade in a toast.
"Thanks!" you answer with a huge grin, picking up your own lemonade. Without thinking, you take a big swig.
Oooops. Remember how your lemonade was blue? There was sleeping potion in it! Oh, well. You'll wake up soon, but they'll never let you be a secret agent now. Too bad you made a mistake when you were so close to a happy

quote:
Two thousand dollars? For an old book you found on the floor? That sounds great to you!
"It's a deal, then," Web declares, his eyes twinkling. "I only have one hundred dollars on me now. But I can get the rest by this afternoon."
He pulls a hundred dollars out of his pocket and hands it to you. You like this guy!
"Meet me in the Mouski - the old shopping bazaar - in two hours. I'll give you the rest of the money then. And in the meantime, I'll take the diary with me for safe-keeping."
"Uh, I don't know about that," you start to say. But before you can stop him, Web grabs the diary and slips it into his briefcase. Then he quickly walks out of the cafe and disappears into the crowd.
He doesn't even wait for the lemonade.
quote:
Two hours later, you take a taxi to the Mouski. It's an ancient part of Cairo - an open-air bazaar filled with traders and craftsmen selling gold, gems, silk, spices, ivory, perfume.
How is Web going to find you in this crowd? you wonder.
You wait, growing hotter and more nervous every minute. You didn't like the way Web disappeared with the diary earlier. And you don't like the way the high Egyptian sun beats down on you.
One hour... two hours...
By late afternoon, the truth sinks in. You've been set up. Web's not coming. He stole your diary and this whole "meet-me-in-the-bazaar" thing was a trick!
Bummer.
Well at least you made a hundred dollars out of the deal. That will certainly pay for a call home. You glance around trying to figure out where you can make an international phone call. Suddenly an Arab man approaches you, leading a camel.
"Here," he mutters in a low voice with a thick accent. "Take this camel and go! Your life is in great danger!"
quote:
Your life is in danger! Why?
The wild, worried look in the Arab man's eyes tells you not to ask questions. You don't have time! He presses the camel's lead-rope into your hands and repeats his warning.
"Go!"
Go where? you wonder as you mount the camel. And why me?
You ride out of town as fast as you can.
The farther away from the Mouski you get, the better you feel.
Except...
Is someone following you?
Suddenly, you're almost positive there's someone on your tail.
Try a sneaky maneuver to get away. Turn to PAGE 56, then 92, then 103, then 24, then back to 56 again. Don't read those pages, silly! Just turn to them. Maybe that will confuse whoever is following you. Then sneak over to PAGE 52 and see if you've lost them.
quote:
Nope. You haven't lost them.
Two guys are still following you. On donkeys. You can see them clearly now. Onme of them is dressed in a black suit, black shirt, and white tie. Like an American gangster. The other is wearing a long, Arab-style robe.
What do they want? Why won't they leave you alone?
You ride deeper into the desert, trying to escape.
The hot sun bears down on you. But as night falls, the temperature drops to twenty degrees. You shiver and your teeth chatter. But you keep riding.
"Give up!" the Arab man calls to you from his donkey.
"Never," you shout back. "Never!"
"You asked for it," the American gangster yells.
With that, he rides up beside your camel, leaps at you, and knocks you to the ground. Then he grabs the lead-rope for your camel, climbs back onto his donkey, and rides off.
Leaving you for the buzzards.
All that for a camel? That's all they wanted? You never knew that camels were so valuable! Guess now you do. Now that you're stuck without one in the middle of the desert.
You've been ripped off twice today. Don't you think that's enough? Maybe you should just start over. And keep your eyes open this time!

As clever as that would have been, they're just random pages.
quote:
You decide to trust the young Egyptian guard. He seems genuinely concerned. You hand him the diary.
The American looks disappointed, but he turns and wanders away.
The Egyptian man tells you his name is Mohammed. Then he examines the diary, his eyes widening. "This diary must be returned to the royal tomb of Buthramaman," he cries. "Only then will the mummy rest. Come with me!"
"But where are we going?" you ask him.
"To the tomb," he whispers. His eyes narrow and his eyebrows curl in, making him look as if he has a deep, dark secret.
Mohammed leads you by donkey to the Nile River. There, you board a boat and travel south all day and all night. Finally, you reach a strange, uninhabited part of Egypt. In the steamy heat, he leads you through a lush jungle, and then to another desert area, and finally to the sandy, stone entrance to the tomb.
"You go in first," he says, pointing the way.
Me? you think. Why me?
quote:
Your heart starts to pound. You don't want to go into the tomb first. You're not even sure you want to go in at all.
"Uh, why are we doing this again?" you ask Mohammed. "Remind me."
Mohammed brings his face very close to yours, nose to nose.
"Because if you don't," he says, "the mummy will rise from his coffin in San Francisco and stalk you, day and night. Everywhere you turn, you'll see his wrinkled skin, his hollow, screaming eyes. You'll hear echoes of the tortured cries he screamed as the high priestess wrapped him in bandages and buried him alive. He'll haunt your daydreams, too. And fill your nightmares. You won't be able to think a single thought without picturing him in his moment of death. You'll know his agony when - "
"Okay! Okay! That's enough!" you say, suddenly interrupting him. "What do you want me to do?"
"Go in," Mohammed says, and he points to the tomb.
quote:
You enter the cool, dark tomb with Mohammed right behind you. He carries a torch to light the way.
The passageway, a narrow corridor made of large stone blocks, is creepy. You feel as if someone - or something - might jump out at you at any minute.
You walk a few more steps forward and come to a place where the passageway splits into a fork, or a Y.
"Which way?" you ask.
"Follow your heart," Mohammed answers mysteriously.
My heart? you think. Is that some kind of clue?
Let's see.
Your heart is on the left. Is that what he means? Should you take the passage to the left?
You peer down the left passageway and see nothing but darkness. A horrible, empty darkness - as if no one has ever returned from that path.
Then you peer down the passageway to the right. It looks wider than the other one and brighter. It isn't nearly so dark.
If you take the passageway to the left, turn to PAGE 123.
If you take the passageway to the right, turn to PAGE 79.
