Sabina's Pursuit of The Holy Grail
Chapter 13: Saved by the Lightning.

I lay in a puddle while the shooting took place. With my hands grounded to the Earth, I could feel the planet speaking to me, and I lost track of time and place. As the shooting ended, I saw Dov lying on the other side of the car. It seemed like he was dead. I got up, and I saw that Dov’s colleague from the police station was approaching me. I felt a sense of relief.

“You saved me! That deluded man brought me here at gunpoint, talking about conspiracies and stuff.” I said.

“Silly girl!” The man exclaimed. “Dov was correct. There is a conspiracy within the security agency, that allows the operation and funding of terrorist attacks,” he continued.

“So, I guess you are not here to save me then?” I replied.

Jakub laughed menacingly and replied, “You are catching on fine. Dov Dorevitch was kidnapped and murdered by the foreign terrorist, Sabina Hines. I, Special Agent Jakub Kluger, intercepted the terrorist and killed her when she tried to get away.” The man replied with an evil grin on his face. I studied him, and planned my next move, but I didn’t say anything.

Jakub raised his gun and aimed it at me. “Any last words?” He asked with a mocking tone. I could feel his aura. I knew that the sociopath in front of me wanted me to beg for my life, to make himself feel powerful, but I wouldn’t succumb to it. Instead, I replied.

“Any last words? I have another 94 years to think about that. I warn you, put that gun down and surrender, or things will end badly for you!”

I could sense a moment of hesitation reaching Jakub’s mind. I expected him to be man killing from behind his desk, by ordering others to do his dirty deeds. To murder an innocent girl while staring into her eyes wouldn’t be as easy for him. Especially not when the innocent girl was me, a girl with powers bestowed upon me by the True Maker.

A dozen of very tense seconds ensued. Suddenly, I could sense that Jakub was going to shoot me. Being able to sense his thought pattern in advance, I managed to time my action perfectly. I jumped away, avoiding the bullet, and landing on the ground, in the split second it took for Jakub’s mind to send the signal to his finger to pull the trigger. The shot missed, as I landed into a muddy puddle. From my position, I could see that Jakub changed his aim to take another shot at me, and there was no way I could avoid this shot.

The shot never came, as Jakub was struck by a bright lightning flash from the sky, caused by the raging thunderstorms. His metallic pistol had acted as a lightning rod, drawing electricity towards him. Thus, Jakub’s decision to kill an innocent girl to cover up his heinous crimes, ended up being his undoing.

I got up on my feet, and I studied the two men on the ground. I wanted to save Dov, now that Jakub had told me the truth, but it was too late as he was already dead. Jakub was still alive, but unconscious, and dying from the lightning strike. I could save him, but did he deserve to live? If he was brought back to life, there was no evidence against him except for my words. If things came to worst, I would become the scapegoat for Jakub and the people that he worked for. If Jakub survived, the conspiracy could keep killing and hurting the innocent.

I studied Jakub’s pistol that was lying on the ground next to him. I felt enticed to pick it up. If people were out to kill me, I needed to protect myself. I shook my head at the notion. I didn’t have the right to take people’s lives, that was not the mandate I was given. If I took up a gun to take another person’s life, I would have fallen. Killing people was not the path I wanted to take.

I decided to leave Jakub to die, as I didn’t feel compelled to save the man who had tried to murder me. I entered Dov’s car and drove back to the main road. Once I got close to the main road, I got out of the car. I ordered an AutoCar using Dov’s phone as it would be unwise to drive around in a car stolen from a murder victim. I directed the AutoCar to drive me to a discreet building, where I had paid for a room using cryptocurrency. I knew that the Mossad still had my phone and my passport, which was a complication, but I had to settle for what I had.
