To Murder Or Not To Murder (1) DRAFT

Chapter 19

Jaz grabbed my ankles while I leaned over and looked under the platform we were standing on. Sure enough there was a small box hanging there. I grabbed the box and pulled myself up. I opened the box to find a small envelope with a red seal inside. I slowly took the envelope out of the box and opened it. "'To the harbour down South from the coast of gold. Where food hop and snakes are bold.'" I read the clue. I though for a moment. "Australia. Sydney in Australia." I muttered after a while. Jaz nodded unfocused. "What's up." I asked. "I have a bad feeling something will happen." She mumbled. "Nothing will happen." I said gently. Jaz nodded again. "Probably not."

"We'll see won't we?" Vira and Amy jumped down on to the platform from a helicopter.

"We can do this either the easy or the hard way. Give us the clue nothing bad happens." Vira said.

"Amy what side are you on?" I demanded getting really impatient with her continuos changing.

"That's for me to know and you to figure out. For now I'm on this side." She explained. I eyed her suspiciously but nodded.

"We are not giving you the clue." Jaz chimed in.

"Good." Amy muttered smirking. Amy front handspringed into a double kick hitting Jaz and knocking her out. I began to attempt to punch Vira and Amy. I hit neither. Vira grabbed an arm and twisted it painfully behind my back. Amy grabbed some thick rope and tied my ankles together. I then felt more rope being tied on to my wrists. I tried to get up by Vira had positioned herself on top I me so I could not move. I suddenly felt a sharp jab in my neck. I felt a little woozy before everything went dark.

Jaz's P.O.V

We found the note Amy had left. She had god knows how hung a box with the clue under the platform so Gary could not find it. I watched as Maddy read and figured out the clue. I was not particularly focusing as I had a horrible feeling within me. I felt misery and wanted to curl up and cry. I didn't know why but I had a feeling something devastating was going to happen. I felt this horrible pain and could not concentrate. My head was swirling with thoughts.

I began to stand unfocused ready for anything. Vira said something I didn't hear. I didn't even entirely see her and Amy enter the platformed room. Maddy demanded something along the lines of, "what the hell is your deal?" I wondered myself as Amy seemed to switch her side like everyday. "I know you figure it out." I heard my head still spinning with all this horrible feeling that someone was going to be hurt. "We aren't giving you the clue." I said not entirely aware what the conversation was about.

Before I was aware we were in a fight with Vira and Amy. My head swirling, I couldn't get my head around it all.

I stood there ready to defend myself unfocused. I watched Amy in a blurry motion front handspring into a double front kick sending me flying into the wall. I laid there for a bit feeling confused and dazed. I felt woozy before darkness swallowed me.

I woke to the sound of the helicopter. I sat up to find myself in the Eiffel Tower on a platform. I saw Maddy knocked out unconscious being dragged to the helicopter where Amy and Vira were. I ran to try to stop them but did not reach them before they took off.

I waited a couple of minutes still feeling slightly dazed but feeling better until dr jones came. Dr jones and I did a leap of faith into the helicopter. I positioned myself by holding the edge of the door. I watched through the windscreen the other helicopter.

It was then I saw the barrel of the sniper that Vira was holding. She was aiming carefully at where the engine was situated. I then realised she intended to make us crash which would supposedly kill us. She fired a few shots hitting the propeller and the engine. I swore as we began to fall like a bowling ball been dropped. We were a few metres above the ground when I jumped. I landed safely and ran a safe distance away from the helicopter which landed exploding.

I was about to run and rescue dr jones when arms grabbed me and pulled me back. Police were surrounding the place. I used the officers that held me tight grip to flip back and knock them over.

I ran into the burning helicopter and grabbed dr jones. I half dragged half carried her out of the helicopter just as it exploded behind us sending me hurtling through the air and leaving her within the explosion's range. I see my friend sprawled on the ground barely breathing with burns and bruises all over her. I could barely move as I watched the fire spread closer and closer.

This was the final chapter of the book I'm sorry to say. The epilogue will come out soon and after that the sequel, to murder or to escape. I hope you are enjoying, please comment if there's any ideas you have, your opinions. I hope you love reading this as much as I love to write it.
