Laura 01 The Jaguar Prophecy Read Online Free

He had already sent this information to his contacts, and is waiting to hear who they worked for. Victor is getting hungry and his search on the deck is fruitless.
    He decides to return to his room and see if Laura wants to join him for a meal, maybe she will be more willing to share information with him now. He has a feeling she is not as honest with her information as she leads all to believe, possibly even hiding the disc. Is she an informant, a spy or international dealer of sensitive information? Victor takes out his phone and makes some calls, giving all the details he has on Laura as he walks back to his cabin. He smiles as he attaches a picture he took of her while she was sleeping in his room. Soon he will know all he needs to about her.
    The sound of Victor’s knock seems to fill every inch of the empty hallway, no answer. Victor knocks a second time, again no answer. Had Laura left the room against his warning not to do so until his return? Victor wonders. He takes the access card from his pocket and inserts it into the door lock. The red light next to the card slot turns green and a click from the lock tells him the door is now unlocked. Slowly he turns the handle and opens the door.
    The door is only halfway open but already he has the feeling that something is wrong, all the lights are off. Opening the door fully he waits until his eyes adjust totally to the darkened room. The light from the hallway pushes some of the darkness away and he can see that the bed is empty, yet her sweet perfume still lingers in the air, Jasmine. Victor notes that the door to the bathroom is closed; maybe she is still soaking in the bathtub, he hopes.
    Carefully Victor steps into the room, while watching the bathroom door, taking a deep breath, letting her smell tingle his nose.
    The first punch takes him low on the right side just below the ribs. The second is a left jab and catches him full on the jaw. Searing pain shoots through his body, making any thinking impossible, and his body reacts on instinct, get away from the danger. Victor leaps to the left of the room just missing a chair. As he lands on the floor at the end of the bed, everything goes dark as someone closes the room’s door again. A click from the door informs Victor that the person has locked the door from the inside, making a dash and fast escape impossible.
    Victor is locked inside the cabin with someone that clearly has only one intention, only one of them will leave the room alive. He tries to control his breathing but every breath brings a fresh wave of pain, whoever has attacked him knew exactly where to punch. How stupid, should have expected someone to be behind the door.
    The room is totally dark now. The plush carpet does not allow any light to pass beneath the door. Victor closes his eyes while slowing down his breathing, fighting the pain in his side. He concentrates on listening for the slightest movement, anything that will give away his attacker’s position.
    Victor is at the foot end of the bed, next to the study desk. Due to the top part of the bed being against the wall, he knows the attacker cannot sneak past that way and circle him unless he climbs over the bed. Victor knows that the springs of the bed are new and silent, if the attacker does climb over the bed, Victor will not hear it.
    Slowly, he places his left hand on the bed, allowing him to sense any movement on the bed. If his attacker decides to circle him that way, he will know it.
    The only way the killer can get to Victor is by using the space between the bed and the desk, exactly where Victor is waiting to ambush his attacker.
    The door to the bathroom is directly next to the desk, opposite the bed. Since the bathroom door also seals on the carpet, no light come from it. Is Laura still in the bathroom? The bathroom is the perfect place to set an ambush for the attacker, and the stun gun hidden under the basin, is just the edge that is needed here.
    Slowly Victor stretches his right
