The temple ruins consisted of pillars. Most of them were broken, but there were three in the back that had been restored and the cap stones replaced. They still had to get down the hill and then across the open lot. Amaris could not see anywhere to hide once they got down there. “Where do we need to go Christos?” Lyle asked as if reading Amaris’ mind. Christos pointed toward the center of the ruins where the pillars stood. The group moved down the hill as fast as the terrain would allow. The loose scree toward the bottom of the hillside slowed them up considerably. Metallic banging came from the top of the hillside where they had just come from. The gun men had reached the grate, but it was apparent that they could not get past the padlock either. No one seemed to question when Amaris had opened a combination lock she had never seen before without even looking at it. That was an impossible feat. One that was emphasized now by the gun fire coming from the area of the grate. The gun men

Taji holstered the gun in the back of his belt and walked to the window where Christos had been keeping lookout moments before. “I will lead. Girls you follow close unless I wave you off. Lyle you cover the flank. Stay together. We are heading for that black Rover.” He sent to everyone. They stood in silence at the ready waiting for the diversion to start. A loud boom followed by a great plume of dirt and rubble on the far side of the adjacent hill. Every head in the parking lot turned and then they all started moving toward the explosion. Taji motioned with a grin, “I guess that’s our signal. Why does Jay always get to play with the explosives?” He said half jokingly. They all moved out the door and to the right. The Rover was not too far off and they all got to their doors quickly. Rather than automatically unlocking it, he used the key inside the fob and pushed the unlock button on the inside of the driver’s door once it was open, so the car would not beep and draw attention. Everyo

Anna and Amaris sat on the couch and waited while the three men sat at the table in the apartment. It turned out that this was Jason’s apartment and Anna had told Amaris that Taji lived right across the hall. They were all trying to think of what to do next, while hoping for Marco to reach out and let them know that he was alive. Anna had sent a text to her parents telling them to call so that they could be in on the discussion as well. Anna was visibly nervous. She had not yet told her parents that she had completed the mate bond with Taji. She was not sure if they were going to be happy about this or not. Especially since he was not a wolf that they knew and he lived half way around the world. The men were reviewing a map that Jason had of the entire site. It showed the temple, and the ruins, as well as many of the buildings surrounding them. They were still not sure what happened. How did the gun men get into the temple. How did they even find the temple or any of its entrances.

Lyle held his hand there a little longer. He did not want his friend to be gone. There was a faint flutter under the pressure of Lyle’s fingers. Very quickly Lyle handed Amaris to Jason and ordered him to lay her on the couch and told Anna to stay with her. Anna did as she was asked with tears rolling down her cheeks. Lyle turned back to Marco and found that he was not breathing. He started CPR. Lyle worked for no more than a minute or two and Marco started breathing on his own. He had come to. He was a little groggy, but he seemed to be healed. They helped him up into the recliner that was next to the couch. Lyle reached over and touched Amaris to check that she was still ok. Christos, who had been standing back watching the scene, now came forward and looked at both Amaris and Marco. “What happened to you?” He said speaking to Marco. Marco looked at Christos. “I decided to take the tunnel that you came out of and go back to the temple while the gunman followed all of you. I thought

Lyle followed Christos up the hallways and tried to keep track of all the bends and turns, but he had to admit that since he was not familiar with the city or the tunnels that he was thoroughly lost. Marco tapped Lyle on the shoulder. “Where are we going? And where did Anna and Taji go?” Lyle came to an abrupt halt and Marco and Jason nearly collided trying to avoid him. Christos stopped too and came back. “Hurry! We do not have much time.” Christos urged. “Where are Anna and Taji?” Lyle said in almost a growl. His arms reached out for Amaris. Christos looked down at the unconscious girl and handed her over to her mate. He had no wish to start a fight now. He knew that Amaris would be safe with her mate. “Taji went back to find the final tapestry.” Jason said from the back of the group. All heads turned to look at him. “Are you crazy!” Lyle exploded “They can’t go back to the temple now!” Jason was shaking his head. “Over the last twenty years the guardians realized the importance of

As the door rose everyone scrambled to find a weapon and cover. They were all strapped in so it made it difficult. The small group were ready to leave. Jason mind linked everyone. As soon as the door is halfway up, start the engine and put it in gear. We leave on my signal. Stay close. “. Amaris saw Jason speaking into his wrist watch. The lights inside suddenly dimmed very low. If her eyes had not been used to the dim indoor lights she would have been blind. Looking back to the door Amaris was able to see that there were at least a dozen pairs of legs standing there. Panic rushed through Amaris at the thought of being out numbered. The door had risen to waist height when one figure leaned down and peaked under the door. Amaris let out a sigh of relief. It was Anna’s grinning face looking back at her from under the door. She quickly scooted under the door and ran to Amaris and wrapped her in a hug. “I am so glad to see you. We brought back up!” She said with a wide smile. Anna pointed

Gunfire rang out across the expanse and everyone in the dune buggy ducked. Coming in from the west, a second helicopter darted by between the dune buggy and the first helicopter. The helicopter changed its angle to get a better shot at the new intruder. “Okay. We have their attention. Put that pedal to the floor and get to the mountain. I am not sure how long I can hold them off.” It was Taji. He had used his helicopter as a distraction to give them time to get to the mountain. Amaris did not remember any of those helicopters having weapons on them. Lyle took off sprinting the dune buggy in the direction of safety. Taji swung his helicopter around to reveal two of the men that he had brought with him. They were holding a large machine gun in place. It was the kind that was meant to be mounted to the deck but clearly they had not had time. As they fired at the enemy helicopter the gun bucked and the men strained to hold it in place and aim at their target. Their attempt went wide of

Amaris gave a sigh of relief. From the little she knew about Lyle, she knew that he had been very close to his father. While she had never seen the watch before she knew it must hold a lot of sentimental value for him. Taji spread out on the table and everyone gathered around him to watch him work. He laid out his tools with care. He picked up the watch and examined it. He took out the jeweler’s loop and looked more closely at the outside of the watch. Taji put his hands down, turned quickly and shot a quizzical look at Lyle. He then went back to inspecting the watch. “Where did your father get this watch?” Taji asked turning to Lyle once again. “My father returned from a business trip and he had gotten it. It was always very special to him. He was never without it. When I got older he made it clear that I was to inherit the watch and my brother to inherit the coat of arms that was made specially for our family. He brought that back with him from that same trip also. “ Lyle had now m
