I was shocked when D'Agostas men open fired on the other policemen. Instead of checking to see their badges, they shot. It is not a good thing to fire at a fellow police officer, especially someone in the homicide unit. this could lead to huge problems. D'Agosta says.." Holy Shit. Why would you do that. Mr. Smithback are you okay"(369). This shows that it was a bad idea to fire and this may lead to big consequences.

I got scared when Nora was explaining Senef's curse. She was telling the crowd that tomb robbers explored the tomb and destroyed every object except the ones valued. It's scary because right after, someone hacked into D'Agosta's computers, which were involved in the presentation. "D'Agosta watched in disbelief as the technicians...frantically, continued to type...."(329). This was random, which makes it scary.

I was surprised when the guard from the crime scene escaped the hospital. He was hurt during the robbery and had to go to the hospital. Instead of getting an x-ray, he just wanted the TV on. He distracted the nurse with the TV and got help from his friends. He switched places with someone in a body bag and his friend drove the getaway truck. "Inside [the body bag] was the long, white, nude form of...Pendergast"(260).

I was surprised when Laura Hayward, lead of the Homicide Unit was asked to be on autopsy.She believes that the deaths of the civilians were an accident and doesn't care what the doctor has to say Surprisingly enough the deaths were in an environment near the Tomb of Senef, so it became suspicious."The Tomb of Senef!Collopy swallowed painfully. this is amazing"(222).It's interesting how it all ties back together.

I was surprised that the supervisor didn't want the police to press charges against D'Agosta. Usually, when you find an intruder somewhere, you want him put in jail for a long time. Instead he didn't want to do all the paperwork so he just asked for the "drunk driver" to never be allowed on the site again. "Just get him out of here...I don't want to see him around here, ever again."(150) I was surprised he got away.

Nora was brave when she went to examine the tomb. Oscar locked her in the storage locker alone and only gave her a number to dial. Examining the artifact took up all of her time, but she was willing to do it - she might find gold inside the tomb. "I have to lock you in. Just call extension 4240 when you're done. No pencils and no paper"(74). It was brave because she was locked in and something could go wrong.

I got excited when Nora was asked to play a lead role involving an ancient Egyptian tomb. It's intriguing that an artifact that old is able to be put on display. Maybe that is where the missing diamonds were. Being able to work on the project allows her to learn more about old times. "Tomb of Senef. We are going to reopen it and I want you on point."(30). This is exciting because I'm dying to find out what happens.
