BLOOD BY THE HAND OF GUILT

Chapter Forty Nine

Freedom is for honest people. No man who is not himself honest can be free, he is his own trap"

-L. Ron Hubbard

The U.S embassy had heard of a citizen being held captive but the government had come out to say they knew nothing about it.

And it was not until the Princess arrived home with Casmir to speak with her father that he saw the gravity of the matter.

"Are you telling me these people are mercenaries?"

"Yes your highness" Casmir said to the King.

"And Sheik Aziz is responsible for this, this doesn’t make sense"

"It does in every possible way father"

"Jazmine….her real name is Dassa……Haddasah, I grew up with her on the streets of Sefrou, she once had a family here in Morocco….a father, a physician who helped people at little to no cost at all and a mother who baked bread and wove cloths. The Sheik destroyed that….he killed both her parents just because they were Jews along with my father and elder brother. He took me in and turned me into a warrior, forced me to accept his religion but what I went through is nothing compared to what Dassa did. She has been raped and beaten up by the Sheiks men till she found the Americans who helped her and that was only after she literally had to cross the desert on foot just to find her little brother who wa staken away from her. Dassa has lived in exile all her life in foreign lands and all she has ever did since she stepped here is make us realize that we are wrong, so so wrong for allowing these peiple with no right at all to do the things that they do in the name of religion and just because they are major investors in the economy. Now tell me, what reason does dassa have to kill 300 people….people who have been maltreated by the same man, like she has been. With a ll due respect your highness, where is the sense in that. The Sheik has been threatened by her ever since she got here, Dassa has tormented him mentally and created a shadow of herself in his eyes…he is scared she is after his life….so he is determined to take hers first but she is American and having her dead could be fatal not only for him but his businesses so he is trying to turn her people against her by making them think she was responsible for the gas attack yesterday…..open your eyes sir and realize that the man who seems to take so much interest in this economy only does so for his gains. I have worked with him and I can proove to you and give evidence of all the weapons this man brings into the country to push his course at the expense of innocent lives"

Casmir said.

"It is true Father"

The King was dumbfounded, he took a few steps away from them.

"Samira….get mu uncle on the phone"

"Yes Father" The princess knew what that meant, she smiled as she walked out.

Ruth stared at the people in her sitting room and wondered what they could do to help.

They all wore mufti. Kaia had recognized some of them from the military camp.

"Now, listen up…..Jamal has confirmed he can get us coordinates, we are expecting a call from Casmir in a couple of hours, we leave for Morocco tomorrow morning, we are going to find this Sheik and make him tell us where our girl is.

"This is crazy, what happens if the government found out?" Ruth said.

"Just think of us as the team no one knows about, we'll just bluff a little" Dante said, standing akimbo.

"That is the big plan, a bluff?" Jamal said.

"It works sometimes"

"This is insane"
