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.
80Please respect copyright.PENANAqIZc9kkSnn
"I umm.... How do you know me? Who... Who are you? " I asked.
80Please respect copyright.PENANATCXwJoSlUK
"Who is this Louisa? " He asked lowering his paper " My name is Lewis, Murat "
80Please respect copyright.PENANAFcviXwjrh6
"Who....are ..... You??" I asked although I was scared to hell.
80Please respect copyright.PENANA7aXIteFD81
"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?"
80Please respect copyright.PENANAMB9rd6ZQkv
" I... I umm.... What about Louisa ? " I asked softly , avoiding eye contact
80Please respect copyright.PENANAwK9OE8inl3
" 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
80Please respect copyright.PENANATLc4ZzH7gB
" 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
80Please respect copyright.PENANAenxyEkRjni
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
80Please respect copyright.PENANAUJEFo4fXKW
I did and... It was him.

Steve.
80Please respect copyright.PENANAh204ueiwbc
He stood there smiling at me " How are you, my friend?"
80Please respect copyright.PENANAtCOTMVbZ8I
"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.
80Please respect copyright.PENANAhYrdJqN3K2
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
80Please respect copyright.PENANAXQvgpGdbgB
"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??
80Please respect copyright.PENANACJT16p0mt9
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.
80Please respect copyright.PENANAmyy9uvVXkI
Steve had a word and came out to me
80Please respect copyright.PENANAQqL0EPcC3s
"Murat, over here " that was Louisa calling from across the street.
80Please respect copyright.PENANA48VVNIZOtF
We both turned and looked at each other with a serious face. We walked towards her
80Please respect copyright.PENANA5kwSIQWWUk
" You didn't say about bringing a friend " she asked
80Please respect copyright.PENANADzCibAlmLT
I could just remain silent and look at her. Those gleaming eyes , that spark. I just couldn't agree on betraying her....
