AWARENESS BY SAMSON KING

Saturday 27th February 

CHAPTER 46

The sun was high over head. The large white hulled diving boat, Caesar, hovered above the dive site.

Yusef dived at eleven o'clock with three other trusted divers with cutting equipment and they dived onto the Athena wreck. Within minutes Yusef had located the safe from the previous dive and he found within two hours an additional four suitcases located in a safe close to the bridge.

Yusef hid three of the suitcases out of site of the main dive team and he sought to make a profit for himself.

Isabella sat on a bench and watched what was going on. She was eager to retrieve the suitcases and to dismantle them.

The time past slowly as Jasmine and Paul said nothing still uneasy after the previous night. Isabella sensed there tension and she could tell that something had happened between them. She chose not to say anything knowing that they would work things out between them and it reminded her of the first few days when she had met Timothy Elmerson after she suspected Peter of being a mole.

Memories flooded back to her of 1975 when she had found Timothy using his brother to investigate her family. At first she had sought to make him go away but then one thing led to another.

Her thoughts returned to the present and knew that the tension between Paul and Jasmine was healthy.

After hours of searching the ship Yusef came to the surface with his team.

Yusef looked to Isabella and lyingly said "We could only recover one of the suitcases. The other three are not on board."

Kimmy looked to Isabella "Are you sure their was four others?"

Isabella nodded and she was unsure of where else they would be "Positive."

Jasmine looked to her mum "Someone's taken three of them."

There was a look of worry from her mum "We're in trouble. I need to get back to Paris urgently."

The boat was turned around and it headed back to Livorno.

Everyone left the ship as Isabella turned to her daughter.

"Jasmine get yourself and Paul somewhere safe. Out of site and out of the way I need to get back to Paris and tell them of what's happened. Sit tight and go back to your Uncles place in Rouen. The Brethren won't look for you there."

Jasmine and Paul looked to each other. The stakes had been raised and they got their things from Kimmy's house. Time was against them. Three of the suitcases could be anywhere.

As they left Kimmy's house. Kimmy looked to them both and she saw tension on both of their faces.

"Where now?"

Paul looked to Jasmine and he said "Florence Airport."
