AWARENESS BY SAMSON KING

CHAPTER 33

It had gone night time when Jasmines meal was brought to her in her cabin. It was brought by one of the Brethren guard. Jasmine didn't look at him and she had been secretly working on a plan to escape.

The problem was the door had a secure lock, she was in the middle of the Mediterranean miles from shore and their was a guard outside at all times. Not to mention the possibility of other guards around the ship.

Jasmine tucked into her meal of Pasta Carbonara and it was of good quality with rich tender beef mixed in with high quality sauce. She laughed to herself that at least in her confinement she would be eating the same sort of meal that everyone else was.

Levette sat in the dining room next to Tyson. The two rarely dined together and this was an opportunity they both needed to discuss events.

Tyson looked to Levette as he cut into his steak "What are we going to do with Giovanni's niece, she can't stay here forever."

Levette chewed on his steak "We will do something about it but not right now. I have offered her a job and a chance to work with us."

Tyson sounded surprised "Offered her a job?"

Levette nodded "She works for us in Paris and we help her out."

Tyson face remained blank "You know she can't be trusted. She gets out of here she will come against us. You know what her uncle was like. That sort of thing runs in the family."

Levette listened and paused for a moment "Exactly, she works for us instead of against us. She is less dangerous on the inside than on the outside. On the outside she has her mother and she knows all of our secrets."

Tyson queried  "Would you like me to deal with her mother?"

Levette "Do nothing to harm her. But rest assured my friend she will be dealt with."

Tyson nodded.

Then there was a dull thud two decks below.

Levette ran to the bridge. He rang his engineer, William Molyneux.

"What's going on?"

William Molyneux spoke with his face covered in black smoke and the kitchen full of people rushing around "The explosion came from the side of the ship. We're investigating now."

Jasmine felt the explosion and she knew that this was her opportunity to escape knowing they would want to keep an eye on her. She waited for a moment. The door opened.

Oliver looked to her "Miss, we need to move you for technical reasons."

Jasmine played along as she was escorted. She had roughly figured out the ships layout and as they walked down the corridor, she looked around. Jasmine bent down and pretended to do her shoe laces.

Oliver spoke with irritation "We can do that later."

Jasmine said "I know."

Oliver walked in front of her and she kicked him to the ground. Oliver got up and tried to fight back. Jasmine realised this wasn't going to be as easy as she had thought and Oliver was poised ready to fight. Jasmine didn't have time and every second was precious. She stepped a few feet backwards and allowed Oliver in front of her to come closer. There was a fire extinguisher nearby. She grabbed it and threw it at him.

Oliver fell to the ground. Jasmine ran to the rear of the ship. She was grateful when she spotted a boat mounted to the side of the ship. There was a winch close to her and she pressed a big red button.

She ran to the boat and jumped in as it descended. Oliver was close by but it was to late and saw the boat descend into the sea. He got out his gun and opened fire but the boat was gone and the bullets only hit the water.

Jasmine fired up the boat and fled at full speed. She could barely make out where she was and carried on until she was clear of the boat.

Levette was angry as Oliver told him of Jasmines escape. His engineer was close by.

Levette looked to him "What happened?"

William "It was the kitchens sir. One of the chefs had left out some oil. It wasn't sabotage."

Levette was still angry "That's one piece of good news."

Tyson said "What of Jasmine Rosinni?"

Levette looked out to the night sky "Nothing for now. We haven't heard the last from her, we will see her again."
