POW!
From behind a pillar I hear the sound of a gun go off. I pull away from Layla just in time to see Marc's body fall to the pool of water by Alexander the greats sarcophagus. His face is distorted in shock as the water slowly soaks into his clothes.
"MARC!" I scream without thinking. Harrow turns toward me, gun still in hand, it takes a few seconds before he's cocked the gun and shot it.
Straight. At. Me.
As I feel myself slip away I silently pray I haven't given away Layla's location to Harrow.
Wait-
This isn't the beginning! Alright rewind.
Hi, I'm y/n Spector. I'm the 16 year old adoptive daughter of Marc Spector and Layla El-Fouly. And in the past few months my life has been turned upside down.
About 2 months ago Marc started acting really weird. He'd leave home with no explanation and it would be quite a while for him to come back. And sometimes he's randomly start talking in a British accent saying that his name was "Steven Grant".
At first Layla and I assumed he was going on more missions and Steven Grant was a new fake identity, but the day he went to go to his mother's Shiva he never came back.
About a month later we got some papers in the mail, as she read them Layla started to cry. When I asked her what was wrong, I thought Marc had gotten ambushed without the suit or something. When she said he sent divorce papers I couldn't believe it, every time they talked they seemed so in love.
2 months after the Shiva we got a call from him, but he was acting weird again, he asked why we called him Marc and Layla hung up.
I finally convinced her to track his phone and he was at his storage locker. Ok, so Layla and I get on our motor bikes and start heading that way. When we pull up I see Marc falling out of the building looking like he's seen a ghost.
He falls into the street right in front of Layla's bike.
"Marc?" We both say at the same time.
"Layla?" He asks looking up, he's "Steven" again. Ugh.
A few minutes into the ride and Layla pulls over
"Alright get off" Marc has officially pissed her offSomehow he and I convince her to keep going. I don't care how annoying he's being.
I just want my dad back.
When we get in the apartment Steven claims as his i immediately walk over to the fish, it only has one fin. Kind of reminds me of the photo Marc kept in the living room before we moved to New York.
He always told me his brother Randall drew it. If I asked him why I'd never met "uncle RoRo" he'd usually shut down, but once he told me the story.
When he and Randall were younger they went out to play, Marc convinced Randall to go into a cave their mom had told them to be careful around, while they were in the cave it started to rain and despite his attempts to save him, Randall drowned. That day is also the reason I never met my grandparents.
As I'm remembering this the adults have started arguing, and I hear the rustle of papers.
"You sent these but you never signed them." Shit. I thought I had hid those.
Behind Marc I see a duffel bag he seems to instinctively be guarding.
He's to distracted by Layla, so I sneak over to look through it, Marc's guns, a passport, various currencies, the scarab.
