Chapter One
Jasmin drags her hand over her face and realizes she had fallen asleep on the couch. She gets up and looks at her phone: 06.39, she still has time. She goes to the fridge and takes a look around, nothing that she likes.
The phone starts to ring, Jasmin answers and a voice says “five minutes.” Jasmin lifts her purse off the ground and takes up a gun. A car door closes and a man walks up towards the house, she hears the keys in the door and the man goes inside. He takes off his shoes and goes to the living room, where Jasmin is standing and waiting.
“Hello, Charlie!”
“Who are you?” Charlie askes as Jasmin points her gun at him.
“I have money in my wallet here, take it.”
“I’m very sorry you got dragged into this, you have a very beautiful family.”
Her finger lets go of the trigger and the bullet hits Charlie in the chest. He’s leaning towards a wall and Jasmin takes his hand and says “everything is gonna be alright, I’m here with you.”
After a while Jasmin closed his eyes and called up the number “it’s done.”
This was a normal work day for her.
Five years earlier
Jasmin went out of the front door and started walking towards the lake where she was going to meet her farfar A green gray SUV is coming up slowly behind her and as she gets an uncomfortable feeling, she quickly decides to go down to a nearby trail in the woods along the lake. But the car doesn't stop following her. Three masked men get out of the car and run down the hill towards her. Jasmin started to run. As she ran, she turned her head to see where they were. She had gotten a good distance between her and her followers, but as she thought this, she trips on some roots that had grown from a nearby oak. She lost her balance and before she could get up or turn her head, it all went dark.
Chapter Two (the beginning of the start)
Present time:
She parks her car on the driveway of a white newbuild house, she is looking for her key in her purse when she hears someone say
“Hi Jasmin, does your aunt feel better?” It was her neighbor.
“Yeah, she loved your wool blanket.”
Jasmin unlocks the door and is greeted by a wool blanket. She sighs and then takes a look around the house, nothing out of the ordinary. She took off her coat and walked up the stairs. She was having a warm long shower when her phone started to ring. “I just got home.” she says to herself and lets it go to voicemail. She gets dressed and someone is calling her again.
“Where are you, what are you doing?” the voice asked.
“Robin, what do you want?”
“Well nothing, I just wanted to talk with you.”
Jasmin is quiet.
“Can you be ready in two minutes?” asked Robin
“Do I even have a choice?” Jasmin said annoyingly
Outside her house is a black van and she opened the door. Robin says “drive” to the driver and they start to move.
“Did everything go well today?” He asks.
“Stop it already, what do you want? I have food that is waiting for me.”
Robin looks at her.
Jasmin started to whine “Well you own me a pizza now.”
Chapter Three (the uncovering)
Stockholm, Sweden
“Von Traufhsten is attending a charity gala tonight in 'Stora Salen’. You are going inside the east entrance, to the right you are going to see stairs only for employees, go up to the kitchen. You will put the nerve agent VX in his food.” Robin explained
“Got it.” said Jasmin as she put an earpiece in her ear
She had only used it one time before and it worked very well. Since it is easy to get the person to consume it and death is delayed. She started to chainching into staff clothes so she could go in unnoticed.
“Why? I’m just curious.” Jasmin asked
“He wants to get into politics and is already buying up people, he wants corporations to decide everything basically.” Robin said
The car stops and drops Jasmin off before parking on the street. She goes to the entrance and they let her in, not looking who she is. She thinks if they have this bad security something like this is bound to happen. Jasmin looked around. There were big beautiful chandeliers hanging from the second floor. She saw gorgeous dresses and for a moment she stopped and admired the women. But she had to force herself to go on, focus on the mission. She hurried up the stairs and she went inside the kitchen.
The food smelled really good, but it was warm and people were stressed.
She goes out through the doors and is greeted by AC and on the stage, a woman in a black and glittery pallet suit singing 'It’s my party’ by Lesley Gore. Behind her was a small orchestra. Jasmin looks at the tables so she would find where Von Traufhsten and his wife are seated. All she could do now was wait.
After 45 minutes it was finally time to take out the food. She finds the plates that are going to table 18 and discreetly put the poison in the food. The waitresses take out the plates and go to their respective tables. But the waitress doesn't stop at table 18 and keeps going further away. Jasmin can’t see who is getting the food instead of Von Traufhsten but she knows she has to act fast.
As fast as she could she goes to the table and sees that it is Waleed Anderson that is going to take a bite of the food. She takes up a flower vase and spills it on him “Oh god I’m sorry, so so so sorry!” Waleed stands up and staff members are coming to help him. Jasmin takes away his plate and goes into a pantry.
“Robin, everything is wrong.” she said very quietly
“What happened?”
“Someone is here.”
“What are you talking about?” Robin asked
“Something's not right. Pick me up now, we have been compromised.”
The van is rolling up to her and she gets in.
“What the hell...’’Robin said
“Someone knew that we were gonna be there and who I was going to give it to. They gave the plate to the board member Waleed Anderson.” said Jasmin
“That can’t be a coincidence.” Robin said
The driver turned his head and said “we are being followed.”
“Pascal, lose them!”
Pascal completed his training in the Royal Air Force. He has an incredible resume and it was an easy choice for the organizations to hire him.
A few hours later Jasmin came home and walked in the kitchen where her frozen pizza was still waiting for her. She throws it away and takes out a new one from the freezer. She turned on the TV as she was standing and waiting at the microwave.
“A man has been declared dead after a car exploded. No one has claimed the attack and the police are not giving out any information at this time. Sources say it was the UK citizen charity foundation's creator Waleed Anderson. This has not been confirmed.” she heard a reporter say
Jasmin takes a deep breath and says “who would do this?”
Chapter Four (the organization)
Five years earlier
She wakes up in a dark empty room. Her hands are tied behind her back with zip ties. She’s looking for something to cut herself free with and after a few minutes she finds a sharp metal piece. Jasmin carefully saws in the plastic, after a while they break and she starts looking for a way out. The door doesn't have a handle. She started to press with her hands on the walls around the room, but realized quickly that there wasn't a way out. She starts to scream for help even though she doesn't know if anybody can hear her.
She sees blood on the floor and takes her hand to her head and she is bleeding from it. She is banging on the big gray door but no one comes. She had never felt so helpless before, nobody knew where she was. She had no idea why someone would do this to her. Jasmin sat on the floor for a long time, she didn't know how much time had passed and that it was cold. She looks at the door for a while and realizes that a screw is loose. She flies off the floor and starts to twist it with her hand. Her fingers start to bleed and she takes the metal piece and it finally comes out. She does the same thing with the last screw and she can take out the door hinge.
She starts to bang the door hinge against the walls. Her farfar always said “find the weakest spot” and this was exactly what she was doing. Jasmin finds it and starts tohit it till it becomes a little hole and starts to use her legs. She looks through it and sees a furnished room with the lights on. Her legs and arms were tired, but she refused to give up not now when she was this close. She got it big enough so she could press herself through it.
She doesn't believe what she sees, farfar with three other people standing looking at her.
“Good job Jesse!” said farfar
“New record.” said another
Jasmin doesn't understand what is happening as she gets up off the floor her farfar hugs her and says “I knew you could do it.”
“What, do what! What is this?” she can't get any words out.
Chapter Five (the beginning)
It has been a few days since the attack on Waleed and Jasmin goes through it in her head again and again. She must have missed something at the charity gala but what. How hard she tries she can’t make sense of it.
“Oh glad you called Jasmin, I was just about to call you.” Robin answered
“I want to talk about what happened, what we missed. Who had something to gain from his death.” Jasmin said
“It was a rumor that he was going to be next in line for the chairman position, but nothing has been confirmed. So that is your job to find out. The chairman pointed you out to find the leek. He is sure it’s one of the board members since no one else had that information.”
“Why me?”
“He says he trusts you to be objective and you are one of the best in the field. Also you have only met three face to face Rue Cordova, Aaron Lane, and Ray Deacon."
“Understood.” Jasmin said as she hung up
She goes up the stairs and takes one of her ready to go bags and goes out of the house. She meets up with Robin
