CHAPTER twenty-seven

“Damn it!” Lilly glared at Kamen. “Do we have to do everything he says?”

“Get used to it.”

“Asshole,” Lilly growled when he walked out. “We can’t wait around to get Kendra back. We need to do it now.”

“Nice plan, but how do we get back home?”

“Getting off this rock won’t be easy. Follow me.”

Lilly had never been to Nebt’s quarters without Asar as an escort. Hopefully the Underworld goddess wouldn’t be offended. It took several knocks before a servant opened the large golden doors. She gasped when Lilly and Kit pushed past. Another servant tried to block their path, but Lilly just side-stepped her. “Nebt?”

The goddess looked up from where she sat at her desk and stood slowly. “Lilly?”

Lilly approached with her hand up. “I’m sorry to disturb you. I need to get back home. It is imperative that we find our sister and bring her back.”

“Where is Asar or Kamen? Surely, they will take you back.”

“They are occupied at the moment. This is my sister, Kit, by the way.”

Nebt held her hand out, same as she had done for Lilly.

Kit grabbed and shook the goddess’ hand roughly. “Nice to meet you.”

To Nebt’s credit, she maintained the smile on her face despite the startled look in her eyes.

Lilly shook her head and looked at Nebt apologetically. “I was wondering if you could transport us back? We have some leads we need to follow up.”

The goddess’ smile thinned. Lilly could only guess she had read their intensions when Kit made contact with her. “I am sorry. I cannot.”

“Nebt, I can’t stand around waiting while Asar and Nehebkau determine our fate. What if Kendra is in trouble? Kit and I could be out there looking for her right now. We are wasting time.”

“Asar will not let anything bad happen to your sister. You must trust him.”

“This has nothing to do with trust. It has to do with control.” Lilly began to pace. “I feel powerless here.” Lilly’s voice rose in frustration.

“How do you feel about this, Kit?” Nebt asked.

“Ah, I’m with Lilly.”

“That does not sound like an opinion, just compliance.”

“I think we should go after Kendra.”

Nebt returned to her desk. “As I stated before, I cannot help you. Asar will be back shortly. You can take it up with him.”

Lilly suspected Nebt had gotten burned the last time she tried to help. The Underworld goddess wasn’t going to put her neck out on the line again.

“Sorry for disturbing you.” Lilly bowed, then stalked out of the goddess’ quarters and down the long corridor with her sister a few steps behind. A sufficient distance away, she turned abruptly to face Kit. “What are you not telling me? Obviously, you have some reservations about us going back to get Kendra.”

“No, I think we should go after Kendra.”

“Do you really?” Lilly glared at her sister. “I saw Nebt’s face. She read your soul when you touched. Don’t bullshit me!”

“Fine. I think I should go after Kendra, not you. And not for the reasons you think. You are more than capable, more so now than before, but.
