    Summary

    EMPATHY - It's a fantasy she has had for a long time, never indulged. Her car is sexy, she's sexy when she drives it, and you lying on the hood almost completely naked, spread out so she can see every part of you that makes you tick, she finds that sexy too. It may not make sense for someone who takes such good care of their precious things, but she's very into the image.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Let the Speedfreak do what the Speedfreak wants and stop thinking about it!

    Summary

    “Jonathan,” says Evy, walking straight into his living room without so much as a hello and standing directly in front of him. Her voice is saccharine, so sugary that it puts Jonathan’s teeth on edge. “Did you happen to become a bestselling author while Rick and I were in Luxor over summer?”

    Jonathan clears his throat, sinks a little lower in his armchair, and lifts yesterday’s edition of The Egyptian Gazette higher, obscuring the blush he knows he can’t control.

    “I have no idea how I’m supposed to answer that, dear sister,” he replies, “seeing as I have absolutely no idea what the current bestselling novels are.”

    When Jonathan writes an adventure—definitely not a romance, thank you—novel based on the whole Imhotep debacle, he doesn't expect it to become the bestselling pulp sensation of the decade. With hindsight, perhaps he should have made some of the real life parallels less obvious, especially when it comes to the dashing romantic lead, Abir Rey.

    Thankfully, there are no bookshops in the desert, so the chances of Ardeth reading it are blessedly slim.

    Probably.

    Summary

    “Kim,” you say, and he blinks at you in the middle of putting out his hand. “There’s something fucked up going on.”

    “You must be from the 41st. I’m Lieutenant Kim Kitsuragi—though you seem to know that already.” He seems tense, for some reason—and his hand is still out. “I’m afraid I wasn’t told who you are.”

    “It’s me, Harry! Kim, don’t you remember me? Fuck, there’s something really wrong happening.”

    “If you’re referring to the dead body that has been hanging from a tree for seven days—then yes, I agree. It is pretty wrong.” Kim is looking at you with his mouth slightly pursed. There’s no recognition in his eyes—he looks at you like you’re a stranger.

    “This can’t be happening." Kim clears his throat.

    “You are clearly going through… something. But I would appreciate it if we could focus on the case for the moment.”

    “Oh my god,” you say. “We did it already, Kim, but for some reason I’m the only one who remembers! This is some—some cosmic joke from the universe, I’ll tell you that.”

    “Okay,” Kim says, slowly. “I’m going to give you a moment while I talk to the manager. You’re going to sit down and sort out whatever it is you’re doing. And then we’re going to take down that corpse.”
