Thankfully, Adam’s voice came on the other end after the sound of slapping naked skin was heard. This and demonic growls and giggles after it.
“Now sit still before I tie you over my knee again…Hello?” Adam muttered what everyone would have known was a pointless threat seeing as this was most likely her aim in the first place.
“Adam, its me.”
“My Lo…”
“Drop the shit, Adam, no one is fucking here!” I snapped making him release a sigh before muttering down at Pip,
“Time to get up, little one.”
“Aww, but you promised you would be the teacher this time and I stole your phone and everything!” I heard her say and knew she was pouting, even from here.
“We will play later, Peaches, now go do your homework ready for me.” At this she shouted,
“Yey! Hell yeah, I will, just you wait and see, those equations are gonna look the shit, we are talking hearts, kisses and little cupid cocks in the margins and everything!”
“Good girl,” he responded on a chuckle, making me regret the call and wished I had just sent him a fucking text!
“Alright Luc, go for it.”
“Are you sure, ‘cause you could just go ahead and rub salt in the wound and fuck whilst I wait?” I snarled making him laugh instead of taking me seriously.
“Don’t give her ideas, Luc, it’s the last thing she needs…now I take it you needed something…other than some alone time and a porno of course.” he added because the bastard knew he could.
“Asshole,” was my muttered response and again he laughed.
“I need to know if there is anyone else out there who can look at this map, anyone we haven’t thought of.”
“Luc, come on, we have been through this, we have had every geographical expert looking at it and half the idiots believed it was the lost city of Atlantis!” Adam certainly had a point and he would know being the poor bastard that had been charged with meeting with them.
“I take it this has something to do with Amelia taking an extra copy of the map?” he asked getting to the point.
“Stealing an extra copy of the map, yes,” I corrected before adding the real reason for my call,
“She found a way to decipher it, Adam.”
“Whoa, okay so that’s new…how do you know that?” he asked after first expressing his surprise.
“Because she purposely left a copy in her room and gave me back the box, now why would she do that?”
“Because she didn’t need it anymore…alright, point taken, and you officially have my attention,” he replied making me raise a brow,
“And I didn’t before?”
“Luc, I have my wife here dressed in a naughty schoolgirl outfit, bent over my desk and leaving very little to the imagination other than the fucking pencil she has been sucking on this whole time…yes, only now do you have my attention.” I scoffed before being the one to mutter this time,
“Point taken.”
The amusing part about this comment was that most people who knew Adam, had never heard him speak this way. But seeing as we had that kind of friendship, then unless anyone was around, this was the natural way of things. And in truth, it was that kind of honesty I needed right now.
“Okay, so what do you need?”
“I want you to put together a team, anyone from experts in the geographical field, to Philologists, to the study of fucking ancient map reading…Hell, get me a fucking Scribe for all I care!” Adam laughed and made another point as was his way,
“Unless you’re referring to the Jewish recordkeeper variety, then I think we are all out of luck at finding an ancient Egyptian who documents the life of a pharaoh.”
“Adam.” I growled his name as a warning of my dark mood.
“Alright Luc, I will see what I can do…where do you want to meet?”
“I will come to you, as I think you have more chance of finding the people we need in the States…fuck, but it’s not like it’s lacking in the amount of Universities.”
“That’s true…and the map?” he asked.
“I am putting it in the box as we speak and will bring both…wait…what the…?” My voice trailed off the second I opened the box further thanks to the blood I had already spilled for it. But the moment a drop of my blood dripped inside the box, it started to do more than just vibrate this time. No, now it started to open at the seams before it suddenly stopped.
