Well... The land of pharaohs does give an eerie vibe all together. Here I was standing in front of the ancient marvel. Camels walking , people strolling around, vendors selling goods, a bit of pickpocketing as well but nobody cares about it here.

One local guide came calling my name, he said the local officer wanted to have a word with me.
I entered the cabin and found a tall white man sitting on a chair, his face buried in the local daily . He signalled the guide to leave his room and not to disturb him

" So you know the location of the key?" He said in a deep voice.
19Please respect copyright.PENANARLcyBI0e9D
"I umm.... How do you know me? Who... Who are you? " I asked.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAn9HlLUxEaf
"Who is this Louisa? " He asked lowering his paper " My name is Lewis, Murat "
19Please respect copyright.PENANAgGsxENUyZs
"Who....are ..... You??" I asked although I was scared to hell.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAX9amMYWUCR
"Let's say I make a deal with you , you know where the key is, I know where the treasure is. Get me the key and you keep 50% of the share fair and square?"
19Please respect copyright.PENANARsOPH6t4kt
" I... I umm.... What about Louisa ? " I asked softly , avoiding eye contact
19Please respect copyright.PENANAYGoc6JzEM0
" You can use her for the sacrifice ofcourse. Eliminate as many people from the race , the better it is for you Murat . What say? " He stood wearing his jacket as he finished his offer
19Please respect copyright.PENANADGdS7vACBz
" I don't think.... I can do that. I never took anyone's life. I won't be framed as a murderer. NO I CANT " I said angrily
19Please respect copyright.PENANAUY2mg8QoH7
He started giggling and said " Don't worry you don't need to Murat, one of my men will accompany you. He will make sure the job is done." He asked me to turn around
19Please respect copyright.PENANAnURXKyHOmq
I did and... It was him.

Steve.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAMDnxMzUpU6
He stood there smiling at me " How are you, my friend?"
19Please respect copyright.PENANAqn2tg74N0c
"So that's why you appear all of a sudden after 10 years... Just to use me huh??" I spoke with anger bursting like a volcano inside me.
19Please respect copyright.PENANADtzLScMFJB
All of a sudden I feel a cold tip on my back. A gun. Lewis stood right behind me and whispered
" Don't try to outsmart us, otherwise I will have to pull this tiny trigger and you might suffer a little pain which u definitely won't like " He smiled at me and asked me to leave.

{(Meanwhile)
"Do we actually give him the 50% sir?" Steve asked
19Please respect copyright.PENANAOLzrPEYuQo
"Get the key, find a few good logs and lay his body, also please make it warm" He smiled }

I was stuck in a deadlock, one way my mind just couldn't agree upon betraying Louisa but on the other hand my life was at risk. I looked at Steve with disgust. How could he do this to me??
19Please respect copyright.PENANAr1HM215UIZ
I didn't even speak a word with him. As we stepped out of the office I was handed a bag with survival essentials , a map and a compass in it.
19Please respect copyright.PENANAf3IpJXwNQe
Steve had a word and came out to me
19Please respect copyright.PENANAMnAspT3FVj
"Murat, over here " that was Louisa calling from across the street.
19Please respect copyright.PENANArJdqvHBKIK
We both turned and looked at each other with a serious face. We walked towards her
19Please respect copyright.PENANA1xsMT3EBH6
" You didn't say about bringing a friend " she asked
19Please respect copyright.PENANA8I5EQM8qtu
I could just remain silent and look at her. Those gleaming eyes , that spark. I just couldn't agree on betraying her....
