Sample Post from the Action Genre this Month: Bronwyn Dewhurst posts in The Relic Hunters
Bronwyn understood Rebel's skepticism about Lesedi. They knew very well that someone was on their tail, determined to get to the artifact before they could lay hands on it themselves. What if Lesedi was somehow involved with their enemies? How would they know otherwise? After all, paperwork could be forged to look legitimate.
Still, Bronwyn had a gut feeling that they could trust Lesedi. She didn't know why, but it was there. That, or Lesedi was just a very good actress.
"This looks like the paperwork we need to do our research here," Rebel said, "but it still doesn't prove that you are who you say you are."
"I don't know how to prove to you that I'm not who you fear I am," she replied, with a gentle shrug of her shoulders. "You could call Nassor Mahfouz and get confirmation from him."
Bronwyn already had the satellite phone in her hand. Mahfouz's number had already been programmed in, in case they couldn't find him once they'd arrived at the Valley of the Kings. She selected his number from the contact list and pressed the phone to her ear. Just when she thought he wouldn't answer and she began to lower the phone, she heard a masculine voice query, "Aywa?"
"Um, hello? Is this Nassor Mahfouz?"
"Who is calling?" replied the man in accented English.
"This is Bronwyn Dewhurst, with UNESCO. I'm at the Valley of the Kings and I'm here with my partners Rebel Waide and Ashley Robbins. We had arranged a meeting with you...?"
"Yes, of course. Unfortunately, I could not meet you in person. I sent someone in my place, a young lady named Lesedi Aygül."
"Oh, okay. Thanks. I see her now," Bronwyn said, looking from Lesedi to Rebel and nodding to her. She said goodbye to Nassor Mahfouz and ended the call.
Before anyone could say anything, Lesedi already removed her ID from her pocket. Rebel gave it a cursory glance and then looked to Bronwyn.
"It checks out." Bronwyn turned to Lesedi. "Sorry. We just have to be careful."
"I understand."
Ashley looked from her teammates to Lesedi and back again. "She seems like she knows her way around here. Maybe she can help us."
