hell she’d take a seat. What was going on?
“You are safe in our city,” he told her, raising a hand as if to caution her.
He still wasn’t answering her question. “Where am I?” she growled. Was it too much for him to tell her?
Jerico licked his lips and sighed. “Atlantis.”
Hailey frowned. What? “Atlantis?” she repeated slowly. “Like the casino in Vegas or the Caribbean Island resort?” Were there more? Those were the only ones that came to mind. But they were thousands of miles away from where she’d been. How long was she out? Hell, was she still sleeping?
“No. Atlantis. The Lost City.”
Hailey quirked her brow up in question. What in the world? “The fictional Lost City of Atlantis?” she said enunciating for clarification. She had to know how big of a nut this guy was. If he was crazy she needed to get out of here. The faster the better.
Jerico nodded, causing her to scoff. She stomped toward the window. Was this guy on drugs? It would explain his weird eye color.
“I wouldn’t do that,” Jerico warned, but made no movement to stop her.
Hailey brushed past him and threw the white curtains out of her way, glancing out the window. A yelp bubbled up her throat and her stomach dropped. Stone buildings lined the streets, some towards the center of town were made of gold and silver. Cobblestone paths wound throughout, and people walked around the city in silky tunics and togas. Beyond the town was a vast, blue ocean.
Hailey inhaled a sharp breath. She’d visited a lot of places, but had never seen anything like this before. Where was she?
Chapter Two
Jerico crossed his hands behind his back, waiting for the beautiful woman to come to her senses. It was a lot to take in and he suspected she might have some questions. He watched the human woman with curiosity.
Over the years, he’d viewed several of them, but none were as gorgeous as she was. Her long, wavy red hair was mussed sexily around her round pale face. The golden dress she wore clung to her curvy frame perfectly, accenting her plump breasts.
Her shoulders rose and fell rapidly as she drew in sharp, uneven breaths. He wanted to reach out, to touch her, but wasn’t sure how receptive she would be. If he were going to gain her trust, it wouldn’t do good to frighten her. She was in a new world, and that wasn’t the worst of it.
She whirled around and marched toward him with her finger outstretched, pointing it at him accusingly. “What trick is this?”
“It’s not a trick,” he answered honestly. “We are in Atlantis. My sister and I found you this morning. You were unconscious.”
Something flickered over her features for a moment before her face hardened again.
“I understand your confusion,” he continued before she could yell again. “I can explain. As I’m sure you’re aware the Earth’s core temperature is increasing rapidly.” She swallowed but didn’t say anything. “That’s because human’s time on Earth is nearing its end. In a month’s time, all life will perish.”
“No,” she said shaking her head adamantly. “That’s not going to happen. I found the epicenter. My samples, where are they? I have to get them to the lab.” Her eyes flicked to the room, scouring the surroundings for what he assumed was the brown satchel she’d had next to her.
“Your actions are noble…” he paused wondering what her name was.
“Hailey,” she huffed filling in the blank for him.
He appreciated her determination, but he didn’t want her getting her hopes up. Her best option was to stay in Atlantis until after the event. “Hailey, your actions to save your world are noble, but it won’t be enough. There isn’t anything you, or anyone else can do. I’m happy to return your belongings to you, but it won’t change anything.”
“No. I refuse to accept that.” She scrunched her face up and blew out a breath. “Why am I listening to you? How do I get out of here? I have to get back to my
