Aminata quickly glanced behind her as she fled down unfamiliar alleys. No sign of Mansa Musa’s guards. Grabbing grapple and its rope from her waist belt, she tossed it to the closest roof, skidding to a stop, then climbed quickly. In moments, flat atop some merchant’s roof, she panted and peered into the dark alley below. The trample of confused feet and equally confused voices told her the guards’ pursuit slowed to a stop. Aminata rolled to her back, smiled, and patted the pouch dangling from her belt. The Eye of Fatima was safe and would soon be back in its rightful owner’s home, and the pouch would bulge with gold. If the emperor took revenge, it would be against the Eye’s owner, not the anonymous thief. Life was good.
