96 The Last Resort But Iyeeye only smiled. ‘I don’t know what to say to you, Fitz. I know you will not remember me, but I remember you.’ Jack thought about this for a moment, and realised what the woman meant. It was like Fitz with Anji in the square at Jumpsville, only the other way round. He opened his mouth to speak but Fitz got there first. ‘Where is Anji?’ Iyeeye shook her head. ‘She’s dead?’ Fitz sounded as though he didn’t believe it were possible. The woman didn’t reply. ‘What happened?’ ‘She died of a fever. Ten years ago. I’m sorry.’ ‘Ten years -’ ‘Fitz,’ said Jack. ‘You’re dead too, in her world. And me.’ Fitz whirled round. ‘What?’ ‘He’s right,’ said Iyeeye. ‘I saw you die.’ They could see the army coming from inside the hut, a cloud of white dust spreading over the desert, glinting here and there. Iyeeye only glanced at it, smiled slightly. ‘Eat some peaches,’ she said, offering a collection of the fruit in a wooden bowl. ‘You will need them. I’ll bet you haven’t had breakfast.’ The room around them was big - bigger than it had looked from the outside. Dark wood was decorated with brightly dyed reed mats, covering the floor and also hung on the walls. It was clean, and there was fresh water. Jack had thrown some over his face and neck, and felt cooler and better than he had done since the Jonah had arrived on the Nile. ‘You are here on your own?’ Fitz was asking Iyeeye. ‘I had a few of Memhennon’s servants, but I have sent them away; I don’t want them to die with me.’ ‘You know the Pharaoh’s trying to kill you, then,’ said Fitz. Iyeeye nodded. ‘Of course. Please, eat some peaches. I have some dates in coconut milk if you would prefer that.’ ‘Don’t you think we should leave?’ said Fitz. He was staring into the white light outside the window, frowning, perhaps trying to work out how long it would take the army to reach them. ‘Or at least that you should?’ ‘I won’t leave my garden. And anyway, do you think I can control time and yet not know my own future?’ ‘You know you’re gonna die and you won’t go?’ asked Jack, his heart beating faster as he sensed heroism.
