Zahra Khalilah was a mystery to everyone even herself at times. Standing at only five foot tall with piercing gray eyes and long black hair. Her skin was tanned from being in the sun for extended periods of time. Currently she was in her apartment getting some last minute supplies together for her trip.
Taking one last look to make sure she grabbed everything she needed. Satisfied she made her way to the port. The one thing she was unable to wrap her mind around was the man who is sort of in charge of the group thought very little of women. In fact he didn't think they were good for anything yet he had asked for her personally.
It would have surprised her more if she wasn't known for being an outlaw of sorts. That is the one she was more commonly known as. She preferred treasure hunter or tomb raider. Outlaw seemed more noble than she actually was. She associated it with helping others but doing so while breaking the rules.
But she didn't help people. No she was to selfish for that. Why help someone if they wouldn't do it in return. That just set her up for disappointment and hurt. And some people thought that it was sad that she felt like that but she didn't. She was happy to live her life like that.
Getting to the port she heard someone calling out her name or at least attempting to only to butcher it horribly. Turning around she was face to face with mister Chamberlain.
“ms. Khalilah was it?”
“it is.” Zahra was very short with him since she's not much of a people person.
“as promised you will be paid once we get back to Cairo. Do you understand?”
Pulling the strap of her duffel bag further up her shoulder she just turned and walked onto the boat. This was going to be a long trip.
