Vanessa figures out Sphinx and Kendra

Where is Kendra, by the way?" She asked the question with pretended innocence.

  "Helping with a covert mission," Grandpa said.

  Vanessa laughed. "Is he extracting another artifact so soon?"

  "I said nothing about-"

  Vanessa laughed louder, cutting him off. "Right," she chuckled. "Kendra's not in Arizona or Australia. Still, hard to believe, after all this time, the Sphinx has stopped pacing himself and is sprinting for the finish line. Any clue who went with her?"

  "We've told her enough," Grandma said.
