“Christian missionaries in Khartoum,” Jan said flatly. “Well, in a world

where a carpenter walks on water and flies up to heaven I suppose anything is

possible!”

When Kevin didn’t respond to his sarcasm, Jan asked, “Where are they?

Your parents I mean. Do they know you’re alive?”

“My parents were killed in front of me in a raid on the mission by the

slave traders. Their leader was dressed all in white with a veil across his face.

All I could see was his eyes. It was like something out of a movie. The odd

thing was that he never spoke. The men who did all the killing and burning

called him Pasha. They found me hiding in the storeroom where we kept the

Bibles. That’s when I was captured.”

“How long did it take you to get to the north after you escaped?”

“Weeks and weeks,” replied Kevin. “The tour boat transferred

passengers and crew to smaller boats, as the river got shallower, or when we

had to get around the dam at Aswan. Then we were transferred to buses

because the river was cut off to large boats. Whenever we had to leave the

boat, I was terrified I would be caught. When I got to Cairo, I went straight to

the British Embassy.”

“You’re British?” Jan hadn’t detected an accent.

“No, Canadian. At the embassy, I told them what had happened, and

one of the women took me to see a man whom she said could help me. He

arranged for me to be with the Cirque Afrique so I could leave Egypt. After a

week in Cairo, we came here to Philadelphia. The man who helped me told

the circus people when we got to Philadelphia to bring me to you and give

you this.”

Kevin handed Jan a green and red striped ribbon pressed between a

small, hard yellow wax seal. The seal had the imprint of a flame surrounded

by protecting wings, the international emblem of the Mundus Society. This

seal bore a cipher for the African Chapter. Only one person could have given

the seal to Kevin. That man was Sebastian Faust.

Jan knew that Sebastian’s father had been a minor official in the

British-run government of King Farouk I, until the revolution of 1952. His

mother was Egyptian. Sebastian had been the Master of the African Chapter

of Mundus for about five years.

“Where did you have this? I didn’t see it when you were downstairs.

Why didn’t you show this to me before?” Jan demanded.

“I wasn’t sure I was in the right place until I heard the man call you Mr.
