For Lilian and the Indigos - Above Top Secret

I asked the holophone to connect me, and after a short wait, Lil appeared as she had
before. I knew that at her end, I was standing in her house as she was standing here in
mine.
“Hey, Izzy! Ready for the adventure?” Lil’s happy tone filled the room.
I nodded with enthusiasm. “We are indeed! Who all is going at your end? Still just you
and Nassim? Or did you round up others since we last spoke?”
“Still just the four of us,” Lil replied. “I wanted this to be more of a sharing and less of a
party, eh?”
Nodding, I agreed. “Yeah, too many and the time with Lee would be limited. Thanks,
Lil.”
“Not a problem, kid,” she said kindly. “I know it’s been a while since you two have been
together, and I didn’t want to clutter your time too much.”
“Well, shall we use the J.D. near the Sphinx? Start there and then head for the Pyramids?
In, say, half an hour?” I wanted to make sure Lee had time to dress as he preferred,
which is to say, without the ’botties.
“Sounds like a plan, kid. See you there and then!” Lil waved.
“Oh, and wait till I tell you what Lee found on this trip!” I added before she could leave.
She hesitated, a brow lifted in inquiry. “Well, you’ll hear all about it soon.”
“Brat!” Lil exclaimed teasingly.
“Yep,” I agreed, with a wink. “See you soon, Lil.” And I left the connection. Her
hologram winked out.
Shortly, Lee came in, dressed as ruggedly as I was, yet carrying the look with a debonair
grace, as he managed to carry in most anything he wore – or didn’t wear.
“Ten minutes till we have to be there,” I announced. Lee nodded once and then pulled
me into his arms to kiss me for most of that time. Finally I broke from his kisses and
said, “Sphinx J.D.” He nodded again, and we went to the J.D. He motioned for me to go
first, and I stepped through the J.D. into Egypt.
I quickly moved off the landing there, making room for the next arrival, which was Lee,
and we looked around for Lil and Nassim.
“Guess we’re first,” I remarked. Lee wrapped an arm around my shoulder as we took in
the morning light, as well as the general bustle in the area. Though it had been well after
nightfall where we had been, here the sun peeked brightly from the eastern horizon.
