21 A dance, a fight and little jealousy
A woman with reddish-orange hairs was scrolling on the bed while sleeping, as if she was doing a nightmare.
''Mum! Mum! Mum!'' Yelled someone
The woman got suddenly from her bed,with sweat all over her face, breathless.
''Iris'' she mumbled the name of her daughter
''Where are you ?'' She asked to herself desperate

Kahmaar 1370
''What the hell is this!'' Exclaimed Lysandre furiously
''It wasn't the real key'' said Ervin
Lysandre was so furious that he drew the box and left the saloon.
''I think is the second time that I'm seeing the boss in such anger'' said farshid
Iris sat down on the chair that was just near her and put her right hand on her jaw.
''He is right to be angry. We risked our life for nothing after all'' she said calmly
'I will never find answers to my questions and return to my era' she said to herself
Everyone in the place where sad, the place became cold and so silent for a moment when suddenly someone decided to break the silence.
Farouk clapped his hands twice for the people to come out from their thoughts.
''It's not the end of the world,guys. We are still alive and to celebrate that let me bring you people to a small party. It will change your moods'' said Farouk with a big smile
''It's not a bad idea but where we will go to? All the city know already that we are here'' said farshid
'' It's a secret! Just come with me'' Farouk wink.
The boys left the saloon and went to change themselves. Iris , Dana and Farouk stayed.
''I don't think the boss will be in the mood to come with us'' said Dana
''I will convince him, don't worry. What you have to do now , is change yourself '' Farouk said
''Farouk, you will excuse me but I don't want to come'' said Iris
Dana and Farouk looked themselves then Farouk uttered '' you have no choice Iris''
He forced her to get up.
''And you will explain to me that thing of another era that you are coming from '' he said dragging her to get out from the saloon.

In Lysandre's room
Lysandre was turning in his room like a mad dog. He knew that he was near to attend his objectives but it was just a mirage. The royal family did everything to hide the real key and have it to their possession. He breaks the trellis of the window with his right hand , anger was getting in his brain and when he is in this state he could kill an entire city.
Farouk who had entered in his room for few minutes was looking at Lysandre , his ex boss had dark aura at this moment he knew very well that when he is like that it's not good.
'' Ahem!'' Exclaimed Farouk
Lysandre turned to Farouk.
''You were here since how many minutes?'' Asked Lysandre nervous
'' Not long, few minutes'' he replied
''It's not the poor trellis that get you on your nerves'' he added
''I didn't not pay attention'' said Lysandre
''I know you're angry about the box'' he stayed silent and then added '' I know who can help you''
''Who?'' Asked Lysandre with concern
.
.
.
'' I Hope everyone is ready! '' said Farouk
''The boss will not be part of the party ?'' Asked hashem
''Im here!'' Said Lysandre
''We are complet, Yalla!!'' Said Farouk
''Yalla?'' Asked Iris
'' It means let's go!'' Replied farshid

They arrived in a room that was big but a little maussade with dark light. The place was decorated just like Arabic places , with huge pouffe and carpet with a bar.
'' heh! That's Izmir, Dana let's go and greet him'' farshid dragged Dana, she couldn't even have time to replied.
''Hashem let's take some wine there in the bar'' said Ervin
At that moment 3 beautiful women approaches, they seemed to be belly dancers.
''Boss, it's been a while you didn't visit us'' said one
''Since you're here we will not let you go and treat you as the king you are'' said another
And they dragged him
''Lysandre seem to be popular with women '' said Iris
''Yes, very but him his not interested, I think the only girl that interest him, it's you'' Farouk smirked
''What are you saying ? The only reason that he seem to be interested is because he thinks I'm the reincarnation of Bastet '' Iris replied nonchalantly.
''But still, no women have captured his attention this much''
Iris rolled her eyes and changed the discussion.
''Where are we? '' she asked
''In place where we can found the most delinquent people of the continent '' said Farouk
''We can found reputable and disreputable characters here'' he added
''Oh! I see'' she said scanning the place
''There's no risk to find any guards here'' he said with a smile
A song was heard
'' It's my favorite song'' said Farouk
He went and removed Lysandre from those women.
''Excuse me ladies, I need him for one minute ''
He brought Lysandre and Iris together for them to dance. Iris accepted.
Farouk on side dragged Dana to dance with him but she was concentrated looking at how Lysandre and Iris where dancing, she could even see a small smile on Iris face.
''They're beautiful together '' Farouk said
Dana didn't replied
''I know you don't support when any woman approaches him even a girl you appreciate '' said Farouk
''I don't want to dance anymore '' said Dana displeased as she went near the bar where Hashem and Ervin were. After few seconds Farouk too met them.
A strange man entered the place,Farouk noticed him and called Lysandre with discretion.
Iris stayed there watching everyone dancing and having fun. She thought of how she usually went to the club with her mother. She didn't have friends, just her cats and her mother. A drop of tear came out from her right eyes.
Suddenly someone hold tightly her left arm. When looked at the person, it was a man who was very drunk.
''You! You!'' He said holding tight her hand
Iris tried to liberate herself from his tight but nothing.
''You are Sekhmet! The great goddess Bastet!''
''Are you here to punish us! Great goddess !''
''What are you saying ! Leave me alone !'' Said Iris
Then someone punch him, everybody stood silent when the man fell on the floor. It was Lysandre. After that punch the people present in the party started to fight, as if Lysandre has gave them the go ahead.
