Free Laura 01 The Jaguar Prophecy by Anton Swanepoel

very dangerous situation.
    “My apologies, I just heard my wife is having our baby. You ok?” Victor blurts out.
    “All ok, congratulations!” Zack replies.
    Following Victor’s gaze to Laura lying on the floor, he comments, “She drank too much, taking her back to her room.”
    Victor nods but has already summed up the situation. He can take all three of them if he moves quickly, but just before he can move he notices someone exiting from Laura’s room. Trapped between four people, he will not make it out alive, better to take his leave while he still can and save her later.
    The three men are so focused on Victor that they do not notice the man until after he has exited the cabin and assume that he must have walked down the hallway. Victor nods again and starts running down the hallway as if he is on his way to his wife. Zack quickly picks up Laura and starts walking back to his cabin.
    Chapter 6
    The moment Victor rounds the corner of the hallway and is out of sight of the men, he quickly takes his cell phone from his pocket and activates the trace that is hidden in the chest ornament he gave Laura.
    The sender has a range of 500 feet and Victor quickly retraces his steps to make sure he does not go out of range. As long as Victor is able to stay in range, he will know exactly what cabin they are taking Laura to, allowing him to rescue her, possibly asking Josh to help him. For 15 minutes Victor follows the three men, making sure they do not see him, until the little dot on his cell phone’s screen comes to a standstill, showing Victor the exact cabin the men are in.
    Victor makes sure that the men enter the room then quickly runs in the opposite direction to get the tools he needs for the job. It takes him only minutes to reach lifeboat number 11. After looking around to make sure no one sees him, he lifts the boat’s canvas cover and pulls a large black rucksack from it. He quickly makes his way back to his cabin to prepare to rescue Laura.
    Meanwhile, Russtoff makes his way to the main deck. The ship will be docking in a few hours at Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, and he wants to be one of the first passengers to disembark the ship on arrival. He plans on waiting until the next day after the ship has departed, then claim that he partied too hard and missed the ship. The ship will be too far away to turn around and he will then need to fly out. It happens all the time.
    Russtoff however is unaware that his cover lies dead in the ship’s morgue and as soon as he takes his cover’s identity he will be found out and arrested.
    Zack has managed to carry Laura undetected to his room and waits for Chris to open the door after giving the password for the day. As soon as he enters the room, he goes directly to the couch and roughly drops Laura onto it.
    “What did you do to her?” Peterson demands angrily.
    “Nothing, we found her passed out in her room, her computer was lying on the ground,” replies Zack, a little bit unsure of what is going on.
    “We also found this,” Chris breaks in, holding up the discs they found.
    “Check them, and the computer,” Peterson barks while walking over to Laura.
    “Pretty little thing,” he comments in a softer voice as he bends over her, bringing his lips an inch from hers. “Drugged, chloroform,” he says as he brings his head back up. “Someone else has beaten us to her, but why leave the computer, her and the discs, unless he got what he wanted? Chris, what do you have?”
    Chris has just opened the lid to Laura’s computer and is still powering it up. “Just a sec Boss.” Peterson gives him an annoyed look but does not comment, the look says it all.
    “Boss, there is a memory card missing.” Russtoff had pulled the memory card from the computer before it finished closing all the files on the disc. There is an error message on the computer stating that it failed to access drive E.
    Chris quickly checks the last used file list and notes a number of picture file
