Abandoned Ship

"I'll be going now," the old man said. "I'll take care of my wounds and before I come back I want you to be packed. We are leaving. I am supposed to keep you safe. Your father assigned me to do that and that is what I am going to do."

With that he exited leaving Jake on his own. The man ran around packing what he could to leave the hotel. He could not believe that he would be leaving this operation to save his own skin.

He had not seen it getting to be as dangerous as this. 

His phone rang which shuddered him to reality as he picked it up to see it was Austin who was calling.

"Hello," he said while trying to keep his cool.

"Hey, what's with the formality?" the man laughed over the phone.

"Nothing. I think I'm coming down with a fever or something," he lied to save his skin.

"Oh it's fine. We've got the perfect blend for you. We want to have a party tonight and we want you to be our VVVIP."
