identity. It is pure luck for the man that the assassin did not find him in his room and decided to only take his clothes to be able to blend in at the dining room. Victor realizes that the person must have then followed Laura from her room to dinner, watching their every move. He wonders if the man saw him find the memory card, and if so, if he is too late to save Laura.
As Victor runs out of the room the man at the bar yells at him, “Hey, your drink,” but Victor does not care. “Inconsiderate bastard,” the man says as he gets up to leave and takes a few steps, but then turns around and takes Victor’s drink before Thibault can stop him. After gulping down Victor’s drink in one motion, he slams the glass down on the bar counter and starts to leave the room. He gets as far as the doors when he drops to the ground, dead, foam coming out of his mouth, cyanide poisoning. Thibault is already busy sending a report to the same agency that Victor works for, informing them of the failed attempt. He was placed on the ship without Victor’s knowledge before the ship left port, in case Victor failed, due to the importance of the mission.
Russtoff smiles as he sees the details from the memory card, it is exactly what he wants. He closes the net book and removes the card from the slot on the side. After replacing the memory card back into the pen, he hides the pen in his jacket pocket. What an excellent idea for hiding a memory card.
Slowly, he takes a 9mm Beretta 92 A1 pistol from an underarm holster. He then removes a silencer from his right jacket pocket and starts to fit the silencer as he walks over to Laura. With the silencer fitted the pistol is too large to fit in its holster and he has to keep them separately.
Russtoff is careful in keeping his eyes on Laura where she is lying on her stomach on the bed, in case she has woken up and is waiting for just the right moment to attack him.
“No loose ends,” he says, as he puts the gun to Laura’s head and starts to pull the trigger. The trigger is halfway pulled when a click at the door causes him to freeze. Who else has access to her room?
Quickly Russtoff rushes to the bathroom and manages to slip inside just as the door opens. Standing in the bath, he peers through the small opening between the wall and the end of the door. Three men enter the room, guns drawn. They stop when they see Laura unconscious on the bed, and then look at each other as if waiting for the other man to make a decision.
“She is not supposed to be here,” one finally says.
“Does not matter, we will take her with us. Quickly, check for any discs.”
Within seconds they locate the music discs Nick had sent Laura and take them together with her net book. Zack bends down over Laura and picks her up, throwing her over his shoulder, then walks towards the door.
As he is about to leave the room one of the others starts to make for the bathroom. He is already halfway inside when Zack calls out to him, “What are you doing? We need to leave.”
“I need to use the bathroom, just give me a minute.”
Russtoff presses himself as far as he can against the wall and behind the door, hoping that the man will not enter any further, just a foot more and he will see Russtoff.
Slowly Russtoff raises his pistol, ready to shoot. He will have no problem taking out this man, but the other two could pose a problem.
“You can go when we are back in our room, let’s go now,” Zack replies angrily.
“Okay, coming,” the man replies as he turns and walks out of the bathroom.
The three men leave Laura’s cabin, with Zack carrying her on his shoulder. The hallway is 100 feet long and has a turn at each end. Zack is walking in front and the others follow. Just as Zack is about to go around the corner, Victor comes running around the corner and crashes into Zack, causing him to drop Laura hard to the ground and both Victor and Zack fall against the hallway walls. Victor is now between the three men a
