Jazmine was up and down at eight in the morning. Ther was no one important in sight.
She called for a servant girl and said..
"I need a ride into town can you get me someone who can take me?"
The girl nodded and returned minutes later with a smallish lanky boy with a cap and a white thobe.
"I need to go to town" She said.
"Yes ma'am"
Jazmine turned to the other servant girl.
"Tell Aunt Fathiya when she wakes that I'll be back soon"
The girl nodded and Jazmine followed the boy out and into a black saloon car.
"Where to Madam?"
"The bank, the Sheik's bank"
He started the car and sped off.
"Tell me something……Naim is it?"
"Yes ma'am"
"Do you have a fmaily her ein Sefrou?"
"Yes ma'am, my wife and kids and my mother"
"That sounds like a pretty close knit family" She smiled but he was careful not to lool back even when she began to take off her veil and gown.
Jazmine took off the small bag she had hidden under the loose kaftan she wore which contained a few make up items.
She dusted her face, put on some lipstick and wore a single small necklace. They arrived at the bank and Jazmine stepped out to the surprise of the driver, she was not I Kaftan but red ankle lenghed pencil skirt and a pretty plaited blouse but he said nothing. She looked at him knowing she already had the upper hand, the Sheik's household was a feared one, now he understood why she had asked about his family, and although she felt bad about her indirect threat she had no other choice. Jazmine placed the call as she walked into the bank.
"Jamal, I'm in the bank now"
"On it" He said.
Jazmine walked in, and walked towards a cashier to make the withdrawal for Khalid.
"Hi, I would like to make a withdrawal, here is the cheque and I would prefer them in 50 dirham notes, just to spare my hand bag the trouble.
The cahier looked at her suspiciously but Jazmine knew what to do.
"Excuse me" She picked her phone from the bag and put it to her ear.
"I hope I'm still on time…..yes I am making the withdrawal right now"
Just when the lady was about to cash out the money Jazmine stopped her.
"Ok, I'll be at the airport soon" She placed the phone back and took the cheque back.
"I am so sorry, the amount has already been cashed out, turns out I was a bit late, sorry for the inconvenience, however my boss would like to know the amount balance in his account, can you check that out for me"
"I am so sorry but I would need some kind of approval"
"Okay"
Jazmine watched as she keyed in some information and then looked up at her.
"Khalid Aziz?"
"Yes" Jazmine affirmed and then she called a number, just when the call was placed, it was diverted to a number in LosAngeles.
"Good morning, I am calling from RFC bank and I would like to confirm if you requested a check on your account balance"
"I did" The voice said.
