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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAl0ZGKs6PDJ
"I umm.... How do you know me? Who... Who are you? " I asked.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA2kfeknAYGE
"Who is this Louisa? " He asked lowering his paper " My name is Lewis, Murat "
21Please respect copyright.PENANACnTy9ksgQs
"Who....are ..... You??" I asked although I was scared to hell.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAJsvZ4FAwIm
"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?"
21Please respect copyright.PENANAvexOYiwegK
" I... I umm.... What about Louisa ? " I asked softly , avoiding eye contact
21Please respect copyright.PENANA4JVbncQY0R
" 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
21Please respect copyright.PENANAYZZbvkmGzf
" 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
21Please respect copyright.PENANAhdppkx5wYz
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
21Please respect copyright.PENANACeYeWNTo9b
I did and... It was him.

Steve.
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwGSujeIl6D
He stood there smiling at me " How are you, my friend?"
21Please respect copyright.PENANAEdCwXd460z
"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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANABdqaFdyc4n
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
21Please respect copyright.PENANAmCtzaVtZcY
"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??
21Please respect copyright.PENANA7hyWjRLHNV
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.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA8Jw6Vm1fK6
Steve had a word and came out to me
21Please respect copyright.PENANAL5RasmJ97d
"Murat, over here " that was Louisa calling from across the street.
21Please respect copyright.PENANA4TUh0HlpKJ
We both turned and looked at each other with a serious face. We walked towards her
21Please respect copyright.PENANAwoe1V5OWEq
" You didn't say about bringing a friend " she asked
21Please respect copyright.PENANABq7unlnPWr
I could just remain silent and look at her. Those gleaming eyes , that spark. I just couldn't agree on betraying her....
