Kylie's POV'Why are you giving me trouble when you are nothing?'Yes. Why though?'You're not even my friend!'I know. I know.'I'm just doing it, for Bennet. Because you are his cousin. And Cole is her husband! I don't want my best friend to hear I'd let you die knowing you're her husband's cousin.'Those words. Those He said, they punched me back into reality. Where its clear that Thurstin and I... are still strangers to each other.I just looked at Thurstin as he walked away. The darkness slowly engulfed him. He was really angry. And I don't know if I should follow him or what. A big part of my brain said I should follow him, because he is the only one who can help me. But it was like there were hands that stopped me from doing that.He is not my friend, he said it himself. So where else will I follow him?Was it my fault? Want to know what's happening? For godsake, I just want to know what's going on. I'm afraid And what's scarier is that I don't know. I don't want to run there i

Thurstin's POVI thought it was just a house. One house, but it turned out, there were three or more behind it. He's not really home if you look closely. It was shabby as you can see with no proper roofs.Plus, it was located out of nowhere so I was pretty suspicious.As Kylie and I approached the house, I was a little nervous that I couldn't figure it out.I got this uneasy feeling lingering inside me, I must be paranoid because of our situation.I can't get Mike's words about the Vuldus out of my head. They were in Sahara, he said. And I'm pretty sure we're in the Sahara. I'm just not sure if Flavia is far or near here. I need a map to be able to know where we are.Kylie and I, we've been walking for miles now. I'm about to feel sorry for the woman. Although his complaints are constant, his walk is also constant. And now that we found a house, I didn't want to tell him that we should just leave and continue walking.The square house 'coz it has a square shape like most Arabic houses

Kylie's POVMy heart pounds like a bitch in heat. I also broke out in a cold sweat. If it wasn't forbidden to sign the cross while wearing Muslim clothes, I might have done it because I was so nervous."Hey!" the man called again on the box but didn't speak.The Egyptian man threw me a stare. I couldn't read his expression much but I knew he was suddenly scared too.Good heavens! It might report me! It's gone!He could easily talk. I mean, we're not friends. He doesn't know me.I looked at the man with pleading eyes. I pray that he is kind and will help me.I saw the man swallow. Kind of struggling but he looked at the men behind me again."What woman? I haven't seen any stranger in here since morning. You people should know how my business is doing bad because of you!" said the hero bravely.Thank God, they speak English. Ah yes, he's a Jew and not a Muslim who knows Arabic.I heard the man behind me snorted. "If not for Raja, I'll blast this stupid store of yours!"I slowly walked t

Thurstin's POV"If you're okay, we can talk to the person they say can capture your documents. Can you stand up now?"Of course, Thurstin! You dummy! He was standing earlier, right? It's nice to kiss my cheek."I guessed so. Alright, I'll just get dressed," said Kylie.I took my camera and hung it around my neck before I walked out of the room. "Wait for you outside."I just stood in the hallway while waiting for the woman. Looking at the photos I took at Cole and Bennet's wedding.I smiled. What is that dinosaur doing now? I bet he already knows what happened. Or possibly Bennet kept it a secret from her because of the woman's delicate condition.Huh! No matter what, Cole is still missed.Cole and I, we've been through lots of rough. Our dangerous missions are not boring because of him. If Cole was with me right now, we might just be laughing. And he says the Vuldus look like monkeys.Thank you! Thurstin, what are you thinking? Why are you thinking about Cole? She's happy now. And sh

Thurstin and Maximilien have a long conversation inside. And I got bored so I stood up and decided to get out of the garage. It looked like they were going to talk for a long time so I decided to walk around and look around.Thurstin said that this place is the central commercial district of Old Town. I noticed that because of the various goods on the side of the road.It's like tiangge in the Philippines, only there are fewer sellers and buyers. There are clothes, usually Muslim clothes. Since the seller is also a Muslim.On the right side of the road are the Muslims. They sell a lot of household items, from cookware, and ladles, there are carved stones that I don't know what they are for. Even the carpets, vases, and umbrellas that they suspiciously sell when it doesn't rain in the Sahara.It was fun to watch the happy trade. The shouts of the buyers and salesmen kept coming. Maybe they haggle over the price.On the left side of the road were the Spanish merchants. They also sell so
