Ch. 2 You fucking idiot!

Many centuries later, it is Friday, July 9, 1926 A.D., in Chicago, Illinois. 

A beautiful young woman with hair the color of the sunset and skin the color of snow is peacefully sleeping in a bedroom of an apartment. She is wearing a long-sleeve sky blue nightgown fit for someone of her social status, an Upper Middle-class citizen. 

Her name is Felicia O'Connell, and she is the twenty-two-year-old younger sister of the infamous American adventurer, twenty-three-year-old Richard 'Rick' O'Connell. 

A ringing sound awakens Felicia, and she opens her eyes, revealing the color of a sparkling emerald. 

" What time is it?" Felicia asked herself while yawning. 

Felicia sits up straight, and she turns her gaze to the right, seeing an alarm clock on the nightstand with the time of seven o'clock in the morning. 

" Shit! I have a job interview for the Museum Curator position at The Field Museum of Natural History today at ten in the morning!" Felicia cursed, and she quickly gets out of her bed. 

Felicia then puts her feet in a pair of fluffy black sandals as she turns and runs out of her bedroom. 

" Alright, stay calm, Felicia O'Connell. It's barely seven, and the interview is at ten," Felicia tries to calm herself as she walks towards the bathroom. 

" You still have enough time to shower, get dress, and eat breakfast," Felicia opens the door to the bathroom, and she steps inside. 

" Then again, what should I eat?" Felicia asked herself while closing the door behind her. 

" I ate oatmeal and fruit yesterday," Felicia mumbled as she begins to set up the shower. 

" Ugh! Why is thinking about what to eat for breakfast is hard?" Felicia asked herself while taking her nightgown and undergarments off. 

" Maybe I can think of something while showering," Felicia smiles, and she steps inside the shower, pulling the curtains behind her. 

Ten minutes later, Felicia finished taking a shower, and she steps out, grabbing a cream-colored towel and bathrobe to wear. 

" I got it! I am going to make a breakfast sandwich!" Felicia shouts in glee. 

" Quiet down there!" An elderly male voice shouts. 

Felicia's emerald green eyes playfully rolled when she hears her upstairs neighbor shouting at her. 

" Sorry, Mr. Mitchell!" Felicia shouts back in response, and she quickly leaves the bathroom and heads straight to her bedroom. 

Felicia enters her bedroom, walks towards her closet, and opens it, revealing various clothes from formal to casual. 

" Let's see. So many clothes. Do I even have time to decide what to wear?" Felicia asked while skimming through her clothing. 

Felicia glanced at the clock on her nightstand, and she sees that the time is 7:10 Am. The red-haired female sighed in relief since she still has enough time to think of what to wear. 

" Today seems like a nice day," Felicia whispers as she turns to look at the window, seeing the sunlight shine upon her bedroom floor. 

" And this dress is screaming at me to wear it," Felicia looks back at her closet as she pulls out a gorgeous navy blue-colored dress with sparkly pearls and diamonds all over it. 

" This dress will do," Felicia happily smiles as she walks away, and she grabs a pair of black Mary Jane's with a small heel, cream-colored knee-length leggings to wear underneath her dress, and navy blue-colored undergarments. 

A few minutes later, Felicia finished getting dressed, and she turns her gaze to the vanity mirror. 

" I am going to rock this interview!" Felicia excitedly tells herself, and she begins to doll herself up. 

Thirty minutes later, Felicia finished giving herself a natural look, and she also wore glossy pink lipstick on her lips. 

" Alright! Now it is time to do the hair," Felicia grabs her pink hair curler rollers, and she begins to put them in her red hair. 

A growling sound grabs Felicia's attention, and she then wears an embarrassed expression since she is starting to get hungry. 

" I might as well start making my breakfast," Felicia mumbled, and she grabs her purse as she walks out of her bedroom. 

Felicia happily hummed as she walks down the stairs to the living room. The red-haired female's emerald green eyes saddened when she sees a portrait of her and her older brother, Rick O'Connell, on the coffee table. 

" Ricky," Felicia whispers. 

Felicia closed her emerald green eyes and began to recall her university graduation ceremony and how her older brother was not there to see her receive her BA degree in Archaeology and minor in Anthropology. 

" That asshole! All he cares about is getting drunk, sleeping with girls, and traveling the world. Some adventurer he is. At least, he could have tried to come to America and attend his sister's graduation," Felicia bitterly tells herself. 

" Snap out of it! Today is an important day," Felicia opens her emerald green eyes, and she lightly slaps her face. 

" I cannot let my asshole of a brother ruin my day! Now, let's start making breakfast," Felicia began to feel determined as she turns and walks towards the kitchen to make her breakfast. 

Many minutes later, Felicia finished making breakfast, and she began to eat her food at the dining table. 

" Mmm! I make the best breakfast sandwich in town," Felicia amusingly laughs while taking a sip of her orange juice. 

Felicia was about to take another bite of her breakfast sandwich when a ringing sound grabbed her attention. 

" Hm?" Felicia stops eating, and she turns her gaze to the sound, seeing her house phone ringing. 

" I wonder who is calling me?" Felicia asked herself, sounding curious as she stands up and walks towards the house phone. 

Felicia grabs her house phone, and she carefully placed the phone on her right ear. 

" Felicia O'Connell's residence, who is it?" Felicia politely calls out. 

" Felix," A familiar male's voice responded. 

Felicia stood in the living room, wearing a neutral expression, when she hears her older brother's voice. 

" Oh, it's you," Felicia bitterly responded. 

" Hey! Hey! Before you hang up on me, let me speak," Rick tries to calm Felicia. 

Felicia annoyingly rolled her emerald green eyes. 

" What do you want, Richard O'Connell?" Felicia firmly asked Rick. 

" I don't know what I did to upset you, but at least let me explain," Rick nervously tells Felicia. 

" Rick! I don't have much time. I have a job interview to attend to," Felicia firmly tells Rick. 

" Job interview? Since when you became interested in work?" Rick asked, sounding confused. 

" Seriously," Felicia mouths out as she shakes her head. 

" Ever since I graduated from my university, which you did not attend," Felicia bitterly tells Rick. 

Rick akwardly laughs. 

" Shit! I am so sorry, Sis! But, that is why I am calling you to explain why I could not make it to your graduation," Rick apologized. 

Felicia raised an eyebrow. 

" Then tell me why you could not make it?" Felicia asked. 

Rick sighed. 

" It's a long story, but I will make it short. I um got arrested," Rick nervously tells Felicia. 

Felicia's emerald green eyes widened in surprise. 

" Richard O'Connell!" Felicia furiously shouts. 

" Yeah. Yeah. I know you are pissed," Rick akwardly laughs, trying to lighten the mood.

" Why did you get arrested?" Felicia asked, sounding worried. 

" I um got into a fight at a bar," Rick mumbled. 

" Uh! Ricky! I cannot believe you will start a fight," Felicia groaned while rubbing her temple with her free hand. 

" Hey! I did not start it," Rick tries to defend himself. 

" Sure," Felicia sarcastically responded. 

" So, where exactly did you get arrested?" Felicia asked, sounding curious yet worried. 

" I am currently living at Cairo Prison in Cairo, Egypt," Rick nervously responded. 

Felicia opened her mouth to say something, but Rick continued to speak. 

" And I um have a day left to live because I am going to get hanged! I am surprised that these guards let me speak to you," Rick quickly tells Felicia. 

" WHAT?!" Felicia screeched, feeling angry, annoyed, concerned, and scared for her older brother's life. 

" You fucking idiot!" Felicia cursed at Rick. 

" Why am I the only one that gets to save your arse?" Felicia sternly asked Rick as she tries to think about how to get to Cairo, Egypt. 

" Because you are my Lucky Charm," Rick happily tells Felicia. 

Felicia annoyingly rolled her emerald green eyes. 

" Alright, Ricky. Everything will be alright. I will head straight to the airport and get a ticket to Cairo, Egypt. I do not know how, but as you say, I have Lady Luck by my side," Felicia tells Rick, and she hangs up the conversation. 

" Fuck!" Felicia groans since she now realizes that she has to miss her job interview. 

" Whatever! Rick owes me big time," Felicia shakes her head as she walks away and continues to eat her breakfast.

A few minutes later, Felicia finished eating her breakfast, washed her dirty dishes, and put them all away in a wooden cabinet. 

" Might as well start packing," Felicia sighed as she begins to run up the stairs to her bedroom.
