Terror gripped Kelly as the bullets flew and she ducked down in the car trying to make herself as small as possible. When Michael told her to get out and talk to the robed man she thought he'd lost his mind. She wouldn't, she couldn't!"You seem troubled." Michael looks at her, as the convoy rumbles its way through the desert valley. The car abrubtly stops, however, as their destination comes into sight. A huge stone gate looms over them amidst the canyon walls, already open. She's here... She's reached the City of Set, that gate the only thing left between her and her husband.

There's another sight that interests Michael, though. "Shit... We're not the first ones here." He pulls out his pistol and cocks it. Looking out the window, she spots a sandbag emplacement, torn open and burned. Next to it, she's shocked to see dead bodies. Fresh dead bodies, in military gear. The five bodies lie on the ground, shot and torn asunder with explosives.
Then, Kelly hears gunfire. The sand ripples as rounds slam into the ground in front of the cars. "Ambush! Shit!" Michael radios his men. Looking up, Kelly can see figures atop the canyon walls, pointing guns at their convoy. In between the great doors of the city entrance, a robed man steps out, unarmed. "You wish to enter the city?" He shouts in accented but perfect English. "Send one of your number to talk - unarmed." Michael looks to Kelly. "You go talk to 'em. We'll cover you."
But then she thumbed her wedding ring and her eyes caught the diamond encrusted ring and she thought of Max. She took a couple of breaths and whispered. "...okay..." she kissed the ring "I love you Max..."
"Okay!" she shouted towards the figure and opened the door to the vehicle. "I'm coming out and I'm unarmed!"
She stepped out of the vehicle and put her hands in the air, her top, still at least a size too small, rode up on her chest and exposed the underside of her boobs. The fabric still covered her nipples, but only slightly. Hands up, she walked slowly but steadily towards the robed man.
