*texts you* It's like 2AM there for you but we just landed in
Morocco and I promised I'd let you know I was fine. Hope you're
not getting snowed in. Service is weird. I'll try to get in
contact again when we get settled, whatever settled means.
*Nate* There's a taxi.
That is literally a camel. You better be joking.

*sets bag down* How much does this place cost? This is an entire
villa.
*Nate* Nothing. A "friend" of Sully's owns it....well, a lady
friend *wiggles eyebrows* I told him we'd need space to sort
through everything from Cairo while he went on to Madrid, and he
hooked us up. Space.....and privacy. Ya know.
You better break out the wine then. *texts you* I feel awful
responding it's still like 5am there lol I'm safe, we're
settled. Meet you??? Now I'm telling YOU to be safe.

Of course he did. *sighs*
*texts you back* Apparently Upton told him how to contact me.

*sitting out on the deck* But what were they looking for? None
of these clues make any sense.
*Nate* *waves bottle of wine in the air* Free your mind.
That usually clouds it.
*Nate* So that's a no then?
Not on your life, gorgeous. Pour. *texts you* Um what the fxck?
That's an invasion of privacy. The hell is this dude's angle?

*texts you* Honestly, I’m borderline going to ignore every
person in town until this guy leaves.
*Andrew**texts me* Can we meet at the bookstore? Just to meet
and discuss some things.
*texts him* What exactly do we need to discuss?
*Andrew**texts* No, this is a face to face discussion.
*sighs* I swear to god. *texts him* Meet you at 4:30.
*Andrew**texts a smiley face*
*texts you* If I somehow become a missing person, blame Upton.
I’m meeting this guy at the bookstore. I guess it’ll be better
to kidnap me in broad daylight.

*texts* DUDE! I’m across the ocean I literally cannot lead the
search party of you come up missing. This is bordering on
predatory what the hell does he want? This isn’t how you go
about working with someone?!
*Nate* Wine. The sun is setting, warm breeze, the lights from
the city below.
*gestures to papers and books* A mystery of how an entire
ancient civilization was murdered. You have a funny idea of
romantic.
*Nate* Yes, yes I do.

*texts you* I will text you every update. I’ll be fine. What’s
the worse that could happen?
*knock on my door**jumps*
*Max* Babe, it’s me. Open up.
*lets him in* Hi.
*Max* Uh oh, what happened?
Nothing of importance. How long are you planning on staying? I
have an appointment at 4:30.
*Max* I was thinking a few would be able to ride us over for the
long weekend of me working out of town.
*pulls him with me to my room*

*texts* Okay. Just keep me posted.
*turns on outside lights* It's the passages in green book that
don't make any sense.
*Nate* These people are gonna stay dead ya know. And no one's
finding the treasure without that book. And only we have that
book.
What? *sits back down*
*Nate* We lost our third wheel for the time being we should be
making the most of it.
I think the wine and heady Moroccan atmosphere has gone to your
head, Mr. Drake.

*walks into bookstore an hour earlier than expected* Upton, we
need to talk.
*Upton**sitting in the sitting area* Tracy-
You think giving my information to a stranger is okay? He could
be a serial killer!
*someone clears throat* *looks to my right*
*Andrew* I’m a professor and am of able body and mind…most days.
*stands* Hi, I’m Andrew. *sticks hand out*
*ignores it* *looks at Upton* Unbelievable.
*Upton* It’s a good idea. It will help you.
What will help me?
*Andrew* Did you not read my emails? I want to write a book on
your husband. He was such an inspiration to so many people, I’d
love to share him with the world…well, more than he shared with
his music. *smiles*
*squints eyes* No.
*Andrew* W-What, why?
Because- I- no.
*Andrew* I need more of an answer than that.
The hell you do! *scoffs**glares at Upton* Please don’t give him
anymore information. *walks out of shop and slams the door*
*squeals away in truck*
*back at home*
*texts you* That was a travesty. Upton gave him information and
he was there an HOUR later. He wants to write a book on Max and
show the world how he was… I am so fxcking pi$sed. Can’t he Rest
In Peace?
