We’re almost here prepare for the rendezvous.
The truck continued to towards the docks. From here the two would be taken to Langenia. Who knows how safe they will be but the farther they are from Insaanistan (Any Insaanistan) the safer. It is hard to believe that the country that spanned two continents and seemed to be a beacon of stability to the Arab and African world had descended into the chaos that has become Insaanistan. However this could be restored in due time.
The two looked outside for soldiers. There were none at the docks, and only four police officers, stationed far enough they wouldn’t be able to see the two. Shaheeda turned to Aaron and Eddie.
“Thank you. God be with you,” she said.
“Peace be upon you,” Muhammad told him, stepping out of the truck. The docks were busy enough that they blended in quickly. Wading through the sea of people going to and from the boats, they made their way to the Amal Kabir. They looked at each other and nodded slightly as they boarded. They had made it to the ship, but they were far from out of the woods. They needed to find Captain Batal.
It was then they realized that they had no clue whatsoever what Batal looked like.
“Just our luck,” Muhammad muttered. “Your
friend didn’t think this through, did he?”
“Shut up and be greatful, you stupid idiot,” she said, marching up.
“What kinda insult is ‘stupid idiot’?” he mumbled. Noticing she lad left him alone, he quickly ran to catch up with her.
After asking around for a while, they finally found the captain.
“Salaam,” they both said upon coming face to face with him.
Runihura had been watching from the shadows the progress of the royals and their "American" friends through the city of Port Said. Once they had reached a landmark he had noted before on the planning stage, he split off and cut through to a nondescript slum house. He knocked three short knocks and a long one harshly on the aging wooden door. He saw a old man come hobbling out of the door, putting on spectacles to see Runihura. "I thought I put a sign saying this wasn't the speaksie." He looked frail with clothes that were soon becoming rags.
Runihura smiled for the show of a woman and her child passing by the door. "I'm sorry avus. Forgive my forgiveness. I just needed coffee before my long voyage to Tobruk."
The old man looked shifty and waited until the passerby were gone. "Come in. And take care to lock it securely." He pointed to the inside of the house. Runihura, touched a lamp near the door at the base and the door closed. If one was to look at the workings of the door, it would see titanium cylinders enter the door and expanded their end to have a secure hold on the door. The old man was a old man only in the body. A young man with shocking green eyes, flawless complexion and raven dark hair with a hawk-like nose was the head of the body.
"Nice costume. I thought I had the wrong house for a second." Runihura stated as the young male, who could not be past the the 20s, lifted a sofa and revealed a set of stairs. They both walked down the stairs in silence as they entered the room, which was utterly confusing It featured a multitude of computers and screens and 4 men on them. There were machines guns, guns, bullets, equipment to fully are a full platoon. "So, what equipment do you have for nice cruise on the Mediterranean Fel?"
"Can you at least call me by my real name? It's Fabian like I told you." He handed him a silenced gun. "But seriously, somethings wrong. Look." He nodded to one of the men on the computer who showed him footage of a security cameras, all focused on the truck with the royals. Behind them, in some distance was always a gray sedan, with was seemed like two north african men in it. "Informers." He said. "They know who you are. We found some calls to some information on your description."
"Dammit. I must have been careless when I was following those kids. Do you at least have a needlegub?" Runihura said to Fabian. Fabian then led him to a chamber and passed him a dagger. Without hesitation, Runihura slit the top of his pinkie and let the blood drop into a peculiar 3 inch wide tube. The blade had been so keen, he had not felt the dagger, but he could see the bright red blood coming out. Suddenly, Fabian turned on the light to a podium with a mannequin-like object on there. Runihura saw his blood being transferred to a machine and left as a green liquid in much larger amount. The green liquid entered the mannequin and 2 minutes later, Runihura had a sharp intake of breath. He had seen a needlegub, but what he saw know surprised him. He was looking at a clone of himself.
Fabian looked to Runihura for directions and Runi snapped out of it. He addressed the neeedlegub in a commanding voice. "You are now Runihura. You know my memories. I command you to take all evasive actions and leave Port Said to go to Alexandria. When captured, say nothing." The clone nodded and left the chamber. Runihura followed him into a tunnel. They walked a while until, they saw a door, which Fabian opened with a fingerprint. The two Runihuras left in opposite directions.
Runihura hurried to the boat and saw Batal talking to a member of the crew. They both held eye contact for a second and Batal quickly nodded into the ship. Runihura entered and maneuvered through the crates into the crew cabins. He swept the room for bugs and sat. He finally sat immobile at the window, waiting to see when the royals would get on.
Batal had been in the process in loading the ship when two teens walked up to him. He noted in his mind that these must be royals and shouted in a oud voice. "My nieces! How have you been! Mohammed this are the offspring of my sister." he said to a crewmember. The crewmember took the symbol and walked up to the deck. Batal quickly whispered in Mohammed (The royal)
"Do not trust anyone. Not even Mohammed. Do not say who you are. There are people who will gain much by killing you." With that he led them to Mohammed who had them enter the boat.
