Part 8

3am Cairo Time Day 7

Anubis's Temple

Anubis went between snuggling with one of the boy bots to snuggling the other, at one point kissing and fingering Astro awake...

"Hey?" Anubis asked as he petted Astro on the cheek. "I want to see Cairo and the rest of Egypt."

Astro slowly sat up and patted Atlas awake..."Ummmm? Atlas?" Astro asked as he pointed to Anubis.

"Huh?" Atlas replied as he wiped his eyes...."What?"

"I want to see Cairo and the rest of Egypt?" Anubis said.

Astro and Atlas looked at each other. Surely if he wanted too, Anubis would just go himself...as if two bots could stop such a strong being if he determined himself to just go. Yet it seemed Anubis was looking for some approval, perhaps wisely thinking? Going by himself was not a smart thing to do?

Astro scratched his head..."Well you see Anubis? It's a little complicated for you to just "go"...I mean....4000 years is a long time and you might not like certain things? In fact they might make you upset."

Atlas gestured. "You believe in Mat (Maut) right? The maintaining of balance in the world?"

Anubis nodded. "Very much yes. A world in chaos brings forth great trouble. Mat is always put before anyone's concerns."

"What if you just show up in Cairo like you are? Something causes you to get irate and you just lash out? You would be throwing Mat into chaos." Atlas said. "For instance? Should women drive chariots and be warriors?"

Anubis snorted. "Absolutely not! How else can a society be maintained without the wife and mother keeping Mat in the home? Bearing the children? Schooling and educating them? Seeing to discipline while the husband is out working or fighting? How could anyone think that the role of the woman and mother in a society is not so important that they would compromise by allowing women to risk their lives?"

Astro wrapped an arm around Anubis's shoulder. "That's one thing that's changed in 4000 years. In our time now, women drives chariots and serve in Armies among other things."

Anubis growled...."Have some men become weak women? It better not be happening here in Egypt? I'll give some Egyptian men a thrashing they'll never live down!"

Atlas waved a finger...."I told you Anubis....tsk, tsk, tsk....."

"You can't just walk into Cairo with your shield and sword and Nemie head dress and declare you're back Anubis and suddenly everyone's going to listen to you." Astro cautioned. "You'll turn the whole society crazy."

Anubis frowned. "Then what do I do? Sit here and make sand pyramids all day and look like the Sphinx?"

Astro doe'd his eyes and looked Anubis in the face..."Compared to the Sphinx? You're a hot sexy dream boat on the Nile."

Atlas patted Anubis on his chest. "You're the one with tremendous power here Anubis? As if we should tell you anything?"

"Well......" Anubis replied. "I'm not stupid. What's your best advice?"

Atlas took one of Anubis's hands...."Promise me you won't get angry at what I would say is the safe bet?"

"I promise....I will not get angry." Anubis replied. "I value you very much."

Astro snickered. "He means he values your dick Atlas."

"Shut up!" Atlas snapped back. "You're not helping here?" Atlas turned back to Anubis...."Now? My advice is for you to use your best strength to just blend in an observe for a while....since no Egyptian today really knows your true form that's much different than the artistic depictions....my advice is for you too....take on the form of a dog?"

Anubis frowned. "In your language?........fuck.....you."

"Anubis? Please?" Atlas begged as Anubis stood up....

"I am Lord Anubis. I am guardian of the dead of Egypt. I am adviser, counsel, friend and lover of Pharaohs. I will not prance, bark, wag my tail and shit like a common dog!" Anubis snarled.

"But if you unbalance Mat? What good will your fighting form serve Egypt?" Astro asked as he rubbed Anubis's side...."We're not asking you to do this as a form of shame Anubis? We're being your friends. Is what we say best for you or bad for you?"

Anubis sagged..."In the end you both speak plain fact....ugh....me as a common dog? Don't you dare tell me I have to eat out of a floor dish?"

"Maintaining the appearance?" Atlas said as he shrugged.

Anubis turned to Astro. "You could carry my essential articles right? My sword? My Shield? My bracelets and anklelets? My head dress and armor?"

"Sure." Astro replied. "No problem."

Anubis sighed...."Ugh......if Horus is around and he catches me on a leash? I'll never hear the end of his taunting. I only did this one other time mind you and it was absolutely degrading! I spent a week pissing all over myself because I had such a lousy rear leg hike! Disgusting! I will NOT pee like a normal dog!"

"Whatever makes it more tolerant for you Anubis?" Atlas said with his hands out. "We have to go back to Cairo anyway to give Doctor Awash a full face to face report on our progress anyway..."

Astro giggled...."Minus all the fucking and sucking."

"Yeah right." Atlas giggled back. "Any way....don't worry about your temple. We'll cover it back up and not tell anyone where it exactly is until you feel comfortable enough to let people come and look at it. Then again?....You might wanna do a little "fake news media fudging" with some parts of it? Boy prostitutes are......not exactly the "in" thing these days."

Anubis laid back on the blanket and sighed. "I dunno if I'll like this Egypt? Can we perhaps go to Memphis first? Maybe I can find clues about my brother Horus and where he may be?"

Astro played his fingers under his chin...."I could tell Docto Awash that we're visiting Memphis to cross reference some things we found in the Temple here? A good excuse."

"Yeah." Atlas replied with a nod. "Let's do that first. I'm gonna get up while its' still a little cool out here and get some stuff packed up."

8 am Washington DC

The White House Current U.S. President, William Michael Borden

Day 7

Meeting between President Borden and National Security Advisor Avril Simpson recorded by Oval Office recording system....

NSA Simpson: Good morning Mister President.

President: Avril...good morning. What do you have for me?

NSA Simpson: That is the complete information dossier compiled between the National Security Agency and the CIA on Jamal Koshoggi Mister President.

President: Fifty pages. Talk about lengthy. Can you give me a short synopsis here? So what are some of the key things about this man?

NSA Simpson: One, his father was until the mid-1990's the premiere arms dealer in the middle east. Basically he was a "bullet whore" for everyone...the Afghans, the PLO, Hezbollah, The Fataul Militia, the Filange Militia, the IRA, Ghadaffi, Saddam Hussein....anyone with the cash.

President: Nothing to do with his son.

NSA Simpson: Nothing at all. Jamal Koshoggi spent most of his life in Europe until his early twenties where he started a loose affiliation with the Muslim Brotherood in Egypt and Saudi Arabia where he managed every so often to piss off the royal family. Then in the early 90's he became more active in the Brotherhood where he joined their political / propaganda arm opposing Egyptian and Saudi policy, U.S. Policy in the Persian Gulf, U.S. Policy in Iraq and then in the late 1990's he moved up in ranks to become a lead administrator in the propaganda wing. Had a major role in helping to stoke the anti-Mubarak crowd in Egypt and then abruptly.....he quit.

President: What do you mean...."he quit"?

NSA Simpson: He quit the Brotherhood in Egypt as in he contacted Saudi Arabia and requested an immediate meeting with their ambassador in Turkey. We have the phone transcript included in the packet.

President: Of "vested gravity".....what does that mean? Who was he talking to in Saudi Arabia?

NSA Simpson: A contact in the Saudi ambassadorial ministry named Faisal Kassem Safi. We're looking into Safi as of now. Our behavioral specialist classified Koshoggi's voice as "desperately troubled".

President: And he was where when he decided to quit?

NSA Simpson: At last check, he was in Cairo. He'd been trying to organize the Brotherhood's propaganda machine ever since General Sisi ripped the organization a new hole after he took power.

President: I'm going to brief the Secretary of State before he reaches Rhiad about this report Avril. I want you to send him a PDF of this so he can read it. The man calls home and leaves Egypt? Damn interesting. I want you to talk to the CIA director Avril? See if he can "tactically" get his counterpart in Cairo to offer up anything on this.

NSA Simpson: Yes Mister President.

10am Cairo Time Day 7

Cairo, Egypt Nasser District

The young girl dressed in a pair of cammy shorts and a wife beater t-shirt with a white rag tied around her head knocked on the door of the bedroom in the small apartment overlooking the University of Cairo...

"It's ten am? Hello? Rise and shine?" She said as she knocked. A groan in reply and a muffled "Go away." caused her to open the door slightly and look inside at the figure lying on the bed snoring because he'd been so rudely rustled from his tranquility. The young teenager walked up and tapped at the lifeless looking from with her broom. "Wake up? Sheesh.....did you stay out all night like usual? I could use some help keeping this place clean you know? I have enough down and dust to stuff two pillows."

The figure looked back at her with half open eyes...."Huh? UGH!" He said as he flopped his face into his pillow. "Let me sleep some more?"

"Where did you party this time?" She snorted.

"The Shu shu frat." He replied. "You should have seen the costumes? Some of those people are dedicated."

"I'll "dedicate" your fluffy head if you don't get up?" The girl snapped. "I'm warning you?"

The figure waved a hand at her...."I curse you with the cloud of a thousand locust!" He then waited a moment, cocked an eye at her, looked at his hand and sighed..."Shit!...I'm still a little drunk."

The girl whipped out a bag of trail mix and wiggled it at the figure's face. "Come on? You know you can't resist? You know you want it?"

The figure replied. "Oh you suck."

"Come on?" The girl snickered. "You know you want it? Who's my birdy? Who's my favorite birdy?"

Slowly....Horus sat up then walked in a trance after the girl...."You absolutely suck Lyria?"

"Yeah.....but woo absolutely wuv me don't you?" Lyria replied.

"Yes......yes I do." Horus replied as he gave the girl a peck on the cheek.

10am Cairo Time Day 7

Memphis, Egypt Temple of Ra

Anubis sat on his hind legs in his dog form and wagged his tail slowly as he sat between Astro and Atlas who were dressed in their desert suits....

"Wow....should have buried this place in sand too. Sure didn't age well in 4000 years did it?" Anubis said as he looked around then quickly sketched in the sand...

"What are you doing?" Atlas asked.

"This is where my brother's house used to be." Anubis said as he pointed to the drawing. "It was to the left of the main temple but it looks like it's been destroyed. We should go over there and look anyway."

Anubis pulled on his leash and Astro walked him while Atlas took pictures and notes into his processor..."So this was a bigger temple huh?"

"It was the main center of Ra worship for upper Egypt. This and the Temple of Carnac and Thebes were the big centers of life for the common people. They weren't just temples alone; there were big markets for buying and selling goods, building boats, making farming tools..."

"Kinda like what we call a Bazaar or a mall in our time." Astro remarked.

The three friends passed by a pair of college students studying a set of hieroglyphs....

"This says that the God Anubis is thanking this man for his offering for his dead child...." One student said.

Anubis caught wind of the commend and snorted out. "It doesn't say that at all you ignorant!"

Realizing that he'd blurted without thinking...Anubis quickly dropped the front of his body to the sand and covered his snoot in dog fashion with his tail wagging furiously. The two students were not amused by the insult...

"Who said that!" The young girl dressed in the Hajib head covering snapped.

"Huh?" Atlas replied. "We didn't say anything. I was commenting on my friend trying to understand what his notes said in arabic and he got the translation wrong."

The girl turned away, obviously annoyed and the boy bots quickly dragged Anubis to a secluded part of the ruins....

"Are you trying to get yourself noticed?" Atlas snorted.

"Well?" Anubis replied. "They were reading that wrong?"

Astro gestured..."So what did the hieroglyphs say exactly?

Anubis sat up on his hinds and put his forelegs to his hips. "That was the temple priest Kama accepting my payment for the fine services of his prostitute."

Atlas looked at Astro and smirked. "You paid a pimp?"

Anubis scratched his head..."What is a pimp?"

"You.....have a lot to learn." Astro chuckled as he petted Anubis's head. "Take us to your brother's house? Or....what might be left of it."

As they walked to the far side of the ruins, Atlas pointed out several hieroglyphs with Anubis translating them..."You must remember that I was here when most of these were painted and ascribed. This one for instance tells of a nasty fight I got into with Bast."

Astro smiled. "Cat against dog. Not surprised."

"She was a little bitch!" Anubis snapped. "Always acting like she owned the whole damn temple complex. She got more people fawning after her than I did!"

"Jealous much?" Atlas snorted.

"Jealous nothing." Anubis snorted. "One day? I kicked her off her pedestal. What a fight that turned out to be. That's why I had a temple built for me by the Pharaoh, so the Temple wouldn't get wrecked again........stuck up bitch, I don't see why people love cats? Ugh....even in ruins the temple is full of them."

"You still don't want to see modern Memphis?" Atlas asked as they stopped in the sand.

"No." Anubis replied. "Man....the air is so foul smelling. How could humans, let alone Egyptians show such contempt for the environment? This so offends Mat."

"Um....Nubie? Are we in your brother's house?" Atlas asked.

"Yes." Anubis replied as he played with the sand. "And as expected...totally gone. I wonder if he's even in Egypt any more?"

Astro sat down on a stone block. "When was the last time you saw him?"

"Hmph.....when Alexander of Greece came through and took the country over. Horus said he was done trying to defend Egypt and he said he quit. Told me to do the same. I was heart broken. Couldn't resist that Alexander though, mmmm what a prize."

Atlas smirked..."You? Had sex? With Alexander the Great?"

Anubis snickered back. "I.....raped.....Alexander the Great. Egypt avenged royally."

"No way." Astro snorted.

"Are you calling me a liar?" Anubis warned as he raised a finger and a sprite flicked from it. "Please don't you dare call me a liar?"

"I'm not." Astro replied. "I'm just shocked? You got through all of Alexanders Hauplight guards? And raped him?"

"Well." Anubis snickered. "As a general he was brilliant but as a 16 year old boy he was quite easy to subdue. And like I couldn't go anywhere in Egypt I pleased? Oh spare me the puzzled look Astro?"

Anubis gave Astro a paw punch...."I guess I have to prove it huh? Wonder if it's still here somewhere? I painted the account myself and I must say I am a very good artist."

The Golden Wolf pulled Astro and Atlas along as they went into the Temple and wandered around the walls and columns..."We'll be lucky if it's even here at all with all the time that has passed." Anubis said as he went from place to place. They then passed through an opening into another part where the room they were in had suffered significant damage. Part of the roof was caved in, the walls were shattered and one wall had a perfect circle hole punched into it...

Atlas studied the hole..."Cannon round. Probably from when Napoleon's army rampaged through Egypt in the early 1800's.

Anubis walked to one side of the shattered room and started to levitate large stone blocks off the floor and set them up again....

"It's like a puzzle. I liked to spend hours on puzzles." Anubis said as he arranged a few blocks and then showed them to the boy bots. "and......here it is." He said as he showed off his work with sneering pride.

Sure enough....there was a bright color hieroglyph of Anubis in his normal form ass banging a young blonde boy with a Greek helmet and shield close by and Greek soldiers standing as if on guard....

"As you would say Atlas?" Said Anubis with a smile. "I really tapped that tight little ass....with a revenge fuck.....I killed that little bastard as in....embalmed and killed him while I screwed him."

Astro and Atlas looked stunned....

"Oh come on!" Anubis snapped. "You mess with Egypt and what do you expect? Candy, flowers and a kiss? Sheesh, I'm not called god of the dead around Egypt for nothing you know....Alexander was a foreign pig, my purpose is too protect Egypt."

Anubis looked at Astro..."Relax...since you're not a human there's no real chance I could "Kill you" with sex...save make you pass out from my awesome expertise."

Astro wrapped Anubis off the head. "Don't get full of yourself?"

"Hey? He died satisfied, trust me. Of course being found by your guards in a compromised pose with a big grin on your face, your butt hole torn up and your dead isn't something you'd want in the history books? I suppose people came up with a good lie to cover up Alexander and his super gaped butt huh?"

Atlas stopped and shook his head..."Plato would have been interesting to read."

"I can't get the visual out of my head now......ugh....damn it Anubis?" Astro yelped.

"First time I ever embalmed someone from the other end of the body too." Anubis snickered and the boy bots cringed....

"SHUT UP ALREADY WILL YOU?!" Astro yelled. "ENOUGH!"

"Can you just put the blocks back where they were?" Atlas pleaded.

"Well? At least say something about my artwork will you?" Anubis studied it. "Hmmm... should have made the hair longer though? He had such adorable hair."

Atlas yelped. "Will you put the blocks back already?!"

"Sheesh....ok there super sensitive....Nile be damned." Anubis snorted as he put the blocks back. "Nothing on my brother at all as far as any place he might have gone too though?"

Astro wrapped an arm around Anubis's shoulders. "Want to go to Cairo? Maybe we can find answers the the museum there?"

"I really don't know?" Anubis replied. "I mean if it stinks bad here? I can imagine what this so called capital city must be like."

12pm Cairo Time 1pm Rhiad Time Day 7

Saudi Royal Palace complex Reception hall

U.S. Secretary of State Paul Page walked into the hall flanked by his small staff as a tall Saudi man came from the other end with his retinue trailing behind him. He met Paul Page with a hand shake and then a hand to the heart slight bow...

"Welcome Mister Secretry. Forgive us that his majesty the King nor his elder son could be present here today? His Majesty the King is still suffering from an intestinal complication and the crown prince has been caught by your visit while out inspecting some new housing complexes in Jedah. I am interior Minister Ahzad..."

Paul gave the man a slight bow..."Pleasure Minister. Though I hope you know the purpose of my being here?"

Ahzad gestured to a pair of ornate and comfortable chairs and Page followed him to where they sat down. Page was dressed in a blue business suit while Ahzad was dressed in traditional Saudi attire with a flowing white Arabian robe topped by a very ornate Arbian head dress with a large sun flap flowing behind the head.

At first, reporters and members of the Saudi court started to take pictures but were soon waved away the annoyed Ahzad....

"I'm sorry Mister Secretary." Ahzad said. "Of course I am aware of the difficult problem involving Mister Koshoggi. I assure you these stories of the man being harmed in any manor are absolutely scandalous and abhorrent, both their majesties are aside themselves with outrage. Our people wouldn't do such an obviously stupid criminal act."

Page leaned forwards in his chair. "Yet? There they are. And given the difficult situation involving the King's health and the crown princess's own situation involving have to deal with opposition Sir. We both know Mister Koshoggi was very outspoken in some cases....dangerously so outspoken."

Ahzad replied..."Allow me to be clear concerning the Crown Prince, Mister Secretary? He is a radical reformer our country hasn't had since Ibin Saud, peace be upon his majesty, father of our country. Some of the Princess's reformed were sure to ire some of our more radical and fanatical elements and they are just begging for one weekness to give them aid in over-throwing the monarchy now which would we rather have in Saudi Arabia? Reformers who might need to be a little aggressive or aggressive zealots who would take Saudi Arabia to places no one wants to see?"

Pace nodded..."You're points are valid. Yet what about Koshoggi? Did the ambassador see him at all?"

"All I know so far comes from the Ambassador." Ahzad said. "That Mister Koshoggi entered the embassy looking to speak with with him but the ambassador at that time was detained on important matters and could not see Mister Koshoggi, so Mister Koshoggi simply left. The front door guards told us he left and did not come back."

Pace thought as he nodded his head...."I see. What exactly was Mister Koshoggi's purpose for coming to the embassy?"

"The ambassador told me he was wanting a Visa for his fiance so he could bring her back to Saudi Arabia for marriage. At least that's as much as I know at the moment because the Ambassador is still be questioned by our own Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Believe me Mister Secretary, we want this situation cleared as much as you. However, I must be bold in saying allowing the Turkish government to conduct any investigation, even on their soil, to us would be a bias and unworthy investigation given President Erdawon's positive tendencies towards the Iranian regime in Tehran. We believe a neutral party like the Swiss or Interpol should conduct the investigation."

Pace nodded. "I will try to convey that in a tactful way to the Turkish officials when I visit there but Mister Ahzad with all do respect this situation did happen on Turkish soil and they do have the legal rights to investigate any criminal matter on their own soil. At best I can suggest outside neutral parties be involved to ensure transparency. In the mean time you should try to be as accommodating as you can so you don't give off an air of obfuscation."

"We will do our best to be accommodating of course." Ahzad replied as the two men stood up.

"Very well then." Pace said as he gestured. "Shall we attend to other matters? Such as your latest request for military support?"

2pm Cairo Time Day 7

City of Cairo, Egypt

Atlas yelped from the driver's seat..."Nubie! Get your body a little back inside the window please? I don't want something to hit you!"

Anubis was smiling happily and panting as the cool breeze rushing over his snoot brought him wondrous pleasure. "Mmmm...I love these things you call cars! This feeling is so soothing..."

Astro pulled Anubis back into the jeep. "It won't be so soothing if you face plant another car or a light pole. So? What do you think of Cairo?"

"Crowded and dirty." Anubis snorted. "Some of these structures that you call buildings have no sense of decorum nor visual pleasure. I guess I'm used to the stink though. This is all so much to think about." Anubis said as he created a sprite and played with the cloud-like apparition between his paws...

"You all right?" Astro asked as he petted Anubis's shoulder.

"Well.....after 4000 years, I must accept the reality that Egypt has grown up... though....not exactly as I might have envisioned. She doesn't look like a powerful nation at all. Putting all the people in one big place like this isn't "tactically advantageous" I would have thought that after 4000 years, the Egyptians would have found a way to use the entire surface of the country as a living space. Seeing that we still have roving Bedouin tribes with camels was quite a shock." Anubis said as he flopped onto his back in the back seat of the jeep and allowed Astro to rub his stomach...

Astro turned to Atlas..."Hey! Let's stop for pizza?"

"Yeah." Atlas replied smiling. "That's a good idea. Let's eat lunch and take Nubie around the streets for a bit. Get him used to seeing how people live here."

Astro smiled at Anubis. "You are going to love pizza, trust us."

Anubis leaned on the front seats..."So what's this pizza?"

"It's baked bread with stuff on top like....meat, vegitables, spices, sauces... trust me? You will die the first time you get a nibble. I used to absolutely hate human food until Astro suckered me with a sloppy pie." Atlas said smiling.

Astro leaned over and kissed him..."I am your sloppy pie." He said with doe eyes.

Anubis snorted. "Die? Then I want nothing to do with it."

"No...." Astro said waving a hand. "This kind of "die" is a slang, it's how we describe something that....you know.....makes you smile a lot."

"Alright." Anubis replied. "I'll give it a chance."

3pm Cairo Time Day 7

250 miles West of the old Nile City of Buhen once anchient Lower Nubia

No flags marked the boundries of this place, in fact, nothing at all marked it save the men hiding amidst the crags and spots of defilade in the semi-mountainous landscape where riflemen and RPG teams sat doing the watchful duties they had been assigned...

Rhukia Kutchki (Yes that Rhukia from Bleach) rhode her horse through the narrow neck of the pass, which went between two shere rock faces rising on both sides of her and up to the very end of the cassem as it came to a "v point" a seemingly dead end in the desert....save that she kept riding towards it and soon vanished into it. A few more minutes of darkeness and she came into a cavernous rock encased theater of activity with soldiers moving about amidst scores of materials and weapons, tanks and trucks, artillery field guns and mobile rocket launchers. There was enough materials and supplies in the enormous cavern to equip an Army Corps, up to and over 400,000 troops! Not that they were all packed like sardines inside the caven which stretched around for miles through the solid rock but there certainly enough equipment pre-positioned and ready to be on the move at a moment's notice.

Stopping her horse near a large mobile howletzer, Rhukia dismounted and met the young man who had seen her arrive and was now taking up the reigns as she stood removing books from her saddle bag...

"The Master has been nervous." The young man said as he fed the horse some salt licks and carrots. "He is very anxious to know when everything will be complete."

Rhukia smiled in reply. "We're still on schedule. Though we haven't solved the pair of naggging worries that keeps him awake at night. No matter though, I'm sure we can easilly deal with them if they pop their heads up."

Rhukia walked on till she came to a pair of guards standing before a set of thick curtains which blocked the next chamber off from the rest of the cavern. Knowing who she was, the guards parted the curtains and allowed her entry where the object of her focus sat quietly meditating...

"I was told you are anxious Master?" Rhukia said as he put a hand to her heart and bowed slightly. "No fear....everything is proceeding as you ordered."

The figure broke his serine concentration. "What of Horus and Anubis? Have your men found them yet?"

"No Master." Rhukia replied. "Still nothing. We have agents scouring every city and village in Egypt but so far there is no sign they're even present."

The figure rose and made his way up to his most devoted servant. "You realize that every falcon and black dog alive could be them?"

"Yes Master..." Rhukia replied. "We've been killing falcons and black dogs for centuries as you ordered but we can't kill every falcon in the country because then the rats will over run the country and bring on the black death. I'm surprised you didn't order us to kill every cat."

The figure looked a little perterbed. "Are you trying to anger me?"

"Not at all Master." Rhukia replied. "Just stating the facts of the matter. I know you are anxious to proceed but you must have patience and trust us. A few more days will not matter."

The figure sighed...."That is why I trust you so much Rhukia. You have a rightly placed heart."

"Our people have craved their return for centuries my Master. It will be joyous to know that soon our boots will once again shake the very ground of Egypt and then once more we can bring our nation back to her rightful place as master of the world under your great guidance." Rhukia bowed and excused herself from the chamber.

4pm Cairo Time Day 7

Shakey's Pizza, downtown Cairo

The three friends found a nice quiet corner booth where Anubis could sit somewhat in a half humanoid form and sample a slice of the pizza...

"Extraordinary!" He said as he bit another portion away and smacked it around in his maw. "What a tantelizing way to use bread? Anubis reached the pizza bone and sucked at the cheese filling...."Slurp...you put cheese in a tube?"

Atlas giggled..."I think he's gonna cum on himself."

"It's good isn't it?" Astro asked as Anubis snatched another slice from the pan on the table.

"It's fabulous!" Anubis replied softly. "Why didn't Egyptians ever think of a cleaver thing like this? Well....not that simple bread and sauces aren't wonderful, I knew Egyptians that could make the most delectable sauces for bread dipping."

Atlas reached out and petted Anubis on his head. "How do you like modern Egypt now?"

"Neh?.....I'm still pondering." Anubis replied. "I still think the smell offends my nose too much...to many cars. It's all bewildering."

Astro took a slice and nibbled away at it. "We still have to get to the Museum and sit with Doctor Awash. Which means Anubis? You'll have to be extra good doggie...maybe have "an accident" to make sure you're authentic enough."

Anubis smiled. "Feed me more cookees and keep me happy and I'll shit on a mummy. Please tell me they have the mummy of pharoah Kafgi there?"

"Why?" Atlas asked.

"Bastard, that's why." Anubis snorted. "He was a prick. I'll shit on him."

"Where's the love?" Astro giggled.

"Don't laugh at me?" Anubis snorted. "Kafgi was a big prick...stupid idiot. Don't listen to me and build a dam why don't you...stupid idiot."

Atlas petted Anubis's hand. "Went wrong didn't it? What happened? Flooded the farm lands? Took out a temple or two?"

"No...." Anubis snorted. "Destroyed....my favorite brothel."

"Yeah..." Astro snorted. "Shit on that ass hole."

Atlas chuckled as he sat back and rubbed his stomach. "I had my fill. So question? What do we do after the Museum?"

Astro thought for a moment..."Turkish bath house?"

Anubis played with his paws..."Go look for my brother."

"Is he still in Egypt though?" Atlas asked.

"We won't know until we look." Anubis replied. "One thing about Horus? He's a mighty Egyptian diety with what you'd describe as a "party animal" attitude. He was in our day a very notorious wine drinker and womanizer. He always managed to get himself into some sort of trouble with some guy's wife."

Astro thought. "So he would like night clubs and bars? Is he strait then?"

"He would kill you two." Anubis snorted. "He absolutely didn't like me chasing after boys but he tollerated me because he didn't want to piss off our parents. I was my mother's favorite, which kept my father from being...more overbearing upon me for my sexual proclivities?"

Astro replied. "So after the Museum, we should go around the night clubs and scope them out. What would we be looking for?"

"Oh?....." Anubis said. "A fucked up Falcon all drunk with the stink of wine. Horus only drinks wine, he absolutely hates beer. If you offered him a beer? He'd feel insulted and have the urge to kick the shit out of people. If we find a bar with a fight in progress? Probably Horus laying waste to the place. You should see him fight drunk as a falcon, it's hillarious."

Astro chuckled. "I thought gods were supposed to be clean and perfect and upstanding?"

"I perfectly banged your upstood ass?" Anubis snickered. "Does that count?"
