SAM

Sam thought he was dreaming. There they were—him, the Professor and Solaris—all climbing the Great Pyramid to put together the Bakhu machine that would show them the location of the Dream Gate.

Some dream … more like a nightmare.

He climbed up the last step of the pyramid, a place he had been before, right at the start of all this. He sat down on the stone and rested, his arms and legs and every joint burning from the climb.

This is where I first saw the key inside the Star of Egypt.

He looked down at the Professor scrambling up, still a few minutes from reaching the summit, one of Solaris’ men behind him, prodding him onward. Solaris was on one knee, the contents of Sam’s backpack spread out over the stone. The Gears glinted in the moonlight.

“Get over here,” Solaris commanded.

Sam defiantly sat down where he was and watched Solaris trying to place the Gears in the right order. There was the Bakhu box itself that he had retrieved in France with Zara from da Vinci’s workshop along with Zara’s Gear, a crank-like handle. Then there were the other Gears, including Xavier’s, which Sam had not seen since Solaris took it from them in Berlin. But every one was a memory for Sam—of each Dreamer and each country and how hard they had fought to win the race and get the Gears.

“You will do this, Sam,” Solaris said, standing, pointing his weapon over the side of the pyramid—pointing it at the Professor. “I don’t need him like I need you, remember?”

I’m so sick of his threats.

Sam silently got to his feet and went to the Gears. He sorted through the inscriptions on each, placing them in order on top of the Great Pyramid.
