Chapter 21: Learning To Trust Your Gut

Wednesday, Cairo

7:45 am

As Amelia and Aiden get closer, she retraces the spot on her forearm and reverts back to her original form with him following suit. They stop a few feet away from Samone and watch as she takes a step forward.

"Welcome! I'm glad you were able to meet me. A little late, but why split hairs?" she says and claps her hands together as she looks the two Nannomi over.

"Did you bring everything?"

"As agreed," Amelia states and digs into her bag for her tablet.

She turns it on, the screen illuminating her grey face in pure blue, and swipes the screen making Samone's computer chime. The two wait in silence as Samone and her associates look over everything.

"Everything appears to be in order," she says without looking at them.

The sound of keys clacking echoes in the wide open space.

Samone's eyes are fixated on the screen in front of her. Her lashes flutter as she glances to her right at a man.

"Felix, if you would," she says in disinterest.
