I became aware of a rattling sound and a rocking motion. I opened my eyes, winced at the pain that stabbed in my temple, and looked around me. White robes stained with dust and blood swam into focus, and I was staring at the sunburnt features of Sherlock Holmes. All I could think of to say was ‘Where am I?’

‘We are on a train heading for Alexandria, Watson.’

‘The Stelé!’ I cried.

‘Here, on the seat beside you.’ said Dr Bhey, as he checked the dressing on my head. ‘You are not badly hurt, but were it not for the street urchin who threw himself at the gunman, you would surely have been killed.’

‘The urchin! But he was a spy for . . .’

‘We will probably never know why he did it. He ran off before we could catch him.’

‘I am only sorry that I could be of no use to you in the fight,’ I said.

‘There was no more fighting after you fell, Watson. Once “The Old One” was killed his followers fled.’

‘And I think I know why,’ added Bhey. ‘There was a special significance in what you did to their leader. The temple was built to commemorate the killing of the evil Set by Horus. The name of the temple represents the way Set died. Edfu means to pierce.’
