Ellis found Astarte in a hotel conference room with Georgia. He had a lot to do today, but this was as important as anything. “Hello, Astarte,” he said.

She looked up from the book she was reading. “Hello, Flying Fox,” she smiled.

He handed her a couple of sheets of paper stapled together. “I though you might be interested in this. I found it on the internet.” He didn’t mention he had modified it before printing it out. “It talks about the Tucson artifacts—some researchers think the people in the Book of Mormon made them.”

She reached out. “Really?”

Georgia turned away to focus on her phone call.

“Yeah,” he said. “Both the Hebrew and the Latin writing could be first century AD. And I think the Book of Mormon talks about Jesus and his disciples coming to America during that time period, right? So maybe they made them?” The explanation wasn’t perfect, but Ellis sensed the girl was looking for validation for her uncle’s theory. Plus, after all, she was nine.

Astarte nodded. “Yes.”

“And here’s another thing. The Ark of the Covenant disappeared around 600 BC. When did the prophet Lehi come to America?”

She put her finger on her chin. “586 BC.”

He tilted his head. “So maybe Lehi brought the Ark here. Maybe that’s what that chest is.”

Her eyes widened. “I don’t think Cameron and Amanda thought of that.”

He turned to go, then stopped. “You know, I’m not a Mormon. But it seems to me the Book of Mormon explains an awful lot of these unanswered questions.” He paused and held Astarte’s eyes. “I wonder if Cameron and Amanda aren’t making this more complicated than it needs to be.”

Ellis took a few more strides toward the door. “Sometimes it’s hard to be the princess,” he said. “Sometimes you have to make hard decisions.”
