CHAPTER 9

✧• 9 •✧

Alia's POV:

It's been a day since we landed in Greece-Argos to be exact. We were enjoying our trip to Peloponnese, the archeological site in which we should to work at. It was difficult to convince my dad to let me go, but eventually I did-My brother did. It's just a week-long trip to Greece, and Uncle Zain will be with us for the entire time. That's one of the main reasons why my dad agreed to this in the first place. It's more like an internship for the people who provide them and a Disney world experience for some freshers like us. And right now is the only time I appreciate my father's and uncle zain's contacts and the time they spend at the office.

"Sharuk, look-look, here's a list and sub-date of various artefacts that have been found since the start of the excavation camp." Aditi shrilled with excitement.

We were taken good care of, especially because of Uncle Zain and his friend, who might be the in-charge for the camp in this segment. When we asked about how he got the passes, He didn't say a word about it. I guess it has something to pull higher strings. Especially, it's difficult to get passes on an excavation site in Greece.

"Yea, There's also the list of the features that have been found. Maybe we should take a look around."- he suggested.

"Do you guys remember the paths that were shown to us yesterday?"

I got confused when Aadhil asked something about paths.

"Paths?"

"The mental map of this place, Lee. Do you at least remember that they took us on a trip to show around this place and also said to stay off from the northern side of Site?"

"Oh, yea."

I still can't remember. What is wrong with me?

What has been right with you?-replied my mind.

"Let's go then." Shanaya suggested.

Everyone picked up their bags and tool boxes along with a compass. We made sure the bags had loaded water so that we wouldn't die of dehydration.

"Nah, it's alright we'll be back in few hours and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't notice anything because I heard that he has been stuck in his tent from this morning."

Sharuk was pretty sure about his dad. Of course, he knows his dad better than any of us.

Just as we were about to go, a girl came running towards us.

"Who is- who are Aadhil and Aditi in here? They said I might find these people in this sect of the camp. Have you seen them?"

"Oh honey, they are here." Sharuk turned on his flirt mode.

"Stop it, stupid. She's looking for us."
Aditi stopped him. Thank god.

"I'm Aditi and this is Aadhil? What's up?"

"Hey, I'm Tiffany. Nice to meet you all. Actually, Mr. Kai asked for you guys to help him with sorting the artefacts."

"Oh sure. But was it just the two of us?"

"Yea, I think so."

"Okay. We'll be there Tiff!"

She gave a heart-warming smile and took a step back to wait for them as she gave us space.

"Sorry guys, I think you have to carry out your little expedition without us."

"Or maybe we'll join you guys tomorrow!"

Aadhil seemed bummed about it. He was always the one who wished to be involved in all group activities. He doesn't have much friends, but the one he has are so different. It's like he has high standards for friendship. He is the Simon Cowell of X factor.
