Callum says, "Where would you like to begin?" Fouccault says, "Tell me how you escaped from us in Tanis?" Callum laughs and says, "Good timing on my part. You attacked when I was answering the call of nature so was a short distance off. I saw what was going on and opted to not become a part of it."

"So you are a coward?" states Gerome. Callum replies, "I call it self-preservation."

She huffed an amused little breath. Needles and barbs. Thankfully that kind of thing didn't bother Cal much. Anyone working as a spy had to value strategy and pragmatism over the appearance of heroism.

"Oh they are not inexpensive. It would be 3,400 Egyptian Pounds for the lot." Ela says, "Which means they are worth around half of that, 1,700. I would says 2,000 and we would haggle until we split the difference. So let's save time, send them to the hotel and you will be paid 1,850, that is as high as we will go." He thinks for a minute and then says, "Agreed."

Ruby smiled at the girl, she was certainly going to be useful today. "Thank you Sir, it was a pleasure doing business with you."

Once the girls were outside Ruby grasped the girls hand and squeezed. "Thank you so much Ela, it was extremely helpful having you with me. I LOVED it! Where should we head next?" Ruby was just as enthusiastic as Ela had been earlier.

"Would you prefer to go to the clothing shop or the steam baths?"

Foucccault turns his gaze towards Abby and says, "And you, I was told that you were present when the new Egyptian Queen decided to execute my mentor. What have you to say?"

"Would you prefer to go to the clothing shop or the steam baths?"

Ruby's eyes lit up. "Now the steam baths sounds like something very enticing. Let's go there first!"

She leads Ruby back in the direction of the hotel with them entering a building three doors away with a sign in Arabic. She says "This is the one for women. The one for men is next door."

Once inside she is greeted by a bald young man who does not appear to have any facial hair, even eyebrows. The man greets her by name and she call him "Bibi". He leads her and Ruby into a side room that has a rows of metal vaults approximately one-foot square and stacked eight high covering the walls. Each vault has a round gem in the center of each door. There do not appear to be any locks. He hands each of them a towel and holds out a small jar with some sort of aqua colored paste.

Ela says, "Dip a finger in the gel when press it on a gem on a vault door of one that is open. That will seal it to your finger so only you can open it. Put all of your things inside, they will be safe there." Ela dips her finger and demonstrates.

She shrugged almost imperceptibly. "I was present. I found the whole affair decidedly unpleasant."

Gerome angrily interjects "And how did you contribute? We know that you were involved. You did far more damage in Egypt than only deciding to maim me."

"What damage I did or did not do is entirely dependent upon your point of view. I would say preventing the poisoning of the Royal Family prevented damage."

"Poisoning? What are you talking about?" Fouccault asks.
