(Aaliyah Zevros - Prophetess of Al-Janyar)
Aaliyah heard Giovanni talking in the other room. She had seen Omar enter earlier and she wondered why Giovanni was bringing another into his confidence. No matter what, it didn't bode well for her. Aaliyah moved closer and was able to make out part of the conversation.
"You know what you need to do then?" Giovanni's voice was calmer than she had heard it in a long time.
"Yes, sir! I can handle this."
"Good! You know the plan, get it done. Take this and remember don't get captured."
Omar muttered an affirmative. So this was about Giovanni's plan. He had called her in a couple of weeks ago and had began planning this operation. It looks like Giovanni found a fool to carry it out. Aaliyah wondered what he promised Omar in return. Aaliyah went back to sit at a desk so that when Omar left he wouldn't have known she was eavesdropping. It didn't matter as Omar didn't even look in her direction as he left on his mission.
Aaliyah stood up. It was time to make her own escape. Aaliyah knew she was a selfish person, but what Giovanni planned - it was evil. She didn't mind people dying for a cause, but Giovanni was going to kill innocents for some personal vendetta or something. She didn't really understand it and she didn't think Giovanni was sane enough to understand it either. Still Giovanni wasn't a man to just run from. She needed protection. She had a plan of her own, and she just needed to buy time.
She entered Giovanni's chamber and he stood, staring at that odd artifact he had found. He called it the Eye of Horus and apparently it had power. Aaliyah didn't know. She had certainly never seen Giovanni do something with it.

"My Lord, I have a lead on a potential ally. I'm going to follow up on it."
"Fine," Giovanni responded, no emotion in his single word response. He had already dismissed her as useful. This would be to her advantage - maybe buy her a little more time.
Aaliyah grabbed her go bag. It contained anything she would need if she had to leave in a pinch. She walked a bit from headquarters before getting a cab. "Airport," she told the driver. As he drove, she looked out the window at the city she had spent her whole life in, knowing that as soon as she boarded the plane, she would never see it again.
