Aaron and Sarra were waiting for Dylan and Laila to come back.
- THIS BASTARD, HE KEPT ACTING LIKE A COWARD, I HOPE HE SHOWS HIS FACE TO ME. I WILL MAKE SURE HE WON'T RECOGNIZE HIMSELF IN THE MIRROR.
- Calm down, we shouldn't make the situation worst. We must wait for their comeback.
- I hope Dylan will be able to control his feelings and won't get weak in front of her.
- I don't think Laila will hurt him. They only want to make sure that he won't hide anything else from them.
- Let's hope they succeed in having the clue. I started to feel suffocated in here.
Not after too long, they noticed Dylan and Laila at the surface. She approached the pool, then she threw the diamonds into the water.
- This is what we found in the grave. Let them go.
At that moment the barrier disappeared. Aaron and Sarra went out of the water right away.
- Finally, we are out.
Aaron glared at Laila, he wanted to scold her, but her sad face made him retreat.
- Dylan, are we done here?
- Yeah.
- Let's go back, we can't be late for Annie.
Aaron, Sarra, Dylan, and Laila went back to the hotel. Rahul was sleeping in the reception.
- That poor kid is still here.
- Rahul, wake up.
Rahul opened his eyes, then he jumped from his seat.
- What is it....I...I didn't sleep...
- It's okay. We are back.
They went to the room to check on Annie. Fortunately, she was still sleeping. Aaron sat on a chair while looking relieved.
- Now tell me what exactly did happen there.
Dylan told him how the fake grave opened and what was in there.
- We found small diamonds and gold paper that looks like the one we saw at the museum in Egypt.
- What was written in it?
- Change your clothes first, then we will discuss our next move.
- Alright.
Dylan and Laila accompanied Rahul to the entrance of the hotel.
- Thank you for all that you did for us, Rahul. You are such an amazing boy.
- Are you already leaving? There are a lot of other beautiful places that you didn't see yet. I can take you...
Laila patted his head while smiling at him:
- We can't stay here any longer, we will leave today.
Rahul became very sad, he didn't expect that they will leave this early.
Laila held his hand:
- I promise that we will meet someday
- Really? Will we meet again?
Suddenly, he felt something in his hand. When he opened his hand, he became shocked. It was a diamond.
- Th.....This is.....a
Laila winked at him:
- Now you can go back to school and finish your studies.
Rahul's eyes became full of tears, what Laila gave to him can solve his financial problems for a long time.
- Th...Thank you very much...I...I don't know how should I pay you back.
- I know that you will become someone very important. That's will be my payback.
Rahul hugged Laila, then he wiped his tears while smiling widely:
- I promise that I will continue my studies and became someone you will be proud of.
- I'm looking for that.
Rahul said goodbye then he left. Laila kept looking at him until he disappeared.
- Did Aramis know that you kept a diamond with you?
- He doesn't need to know everything. All he cares about are the clues.
- Let's pack our things, we must leave today for the next country.
They went back to their rooms and started packing their bags. Annie was already waking up and Sarra was helping her to prepare herself.
As for Aaron, he started feeling very uncomfortable around Laila. He couldn't be his usual self around her anymore.
- Hey, Dylan. Shouldn't we keep Laila hostage? We can't just let her accompany us as nothing did happen. She even admitted it herself.
- We can't do that we still don't have any information about Tarou. We must keep up with them until we rescue him.
- What if she was lying and she doesn't know where he is.
- Don't worry, she is not.
- Why are you so sure? I know that you love her, but please don't make wrong decisions again just because of that. You were about to kill us ones
Dylan grabbed Aaron from his collar out of a sudden:
- STOP TALKING ABOUT THAT INCIDENT. I'M NOT THAT DYLAN ANYMORE.
Aaron felt Dylan's frustration so he didn't want to push him any further:
- Don't get angry, I know that. I just wanted to make sure. By the way, what was written on the paper?
Dylan put his bag on:
- Hurry up, we must go to the airport first. We don't have much time to waste. I will tell you when we go on board.
- What is our next destination?
- We are going to China...
