The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 14: Limping and Incognito.

I woke up the next morning in a worn-out room, when there was a knock on my door. I opened the door, and in front of me was a handsome-looking woman around my age. She is slim, tall, and has a childish haircut . He was dressed like a computer hacker, equipped with cool - laptop looking, and headphones with banging loud music. He sent me my package and left without saying a word. I opened the package, and I am grateful to have found a good dark web store, which delivered the promised items instead of robbing my cryptocurrency or tracking me , to hand me over to the authorities. The package contained a set of clothes, a laptop, a cell phone, a fake ID, a prepaid credit card and sunglasses.

I put on clothes and realized that it was second-hand clothing. The same can be said for phones and laptops . But there's not much to say about that. After all, beggars can't be picky, and I'm glad they've sent me my package at all. I checked the internet, to see how I could outsmart the security cameras that were everywhere. Apparently, hoods and sunglasses are a good start, but since security cameras also detect a person's movement patterns, I need more radical changes to trick them.

I concluded that I had twisted my ankle the night before, when I dodged Jakub's bullet . If I sustained a minor injury to my shoulder, my walking movements would not be recognized by the AIs as it would think I was someone else. I'm not a fan of self-inflicted damage, but I realize that I'm here on a mission, so I have no other choice. I purposely slammed my shoulder forcefully against the wall, falling to the floor in pain and agony. Hating what I had to do next, I kicked the wall barefooted, causing my ankles to bend even more.

After the pain subsided, I got up. I taught myself in the mirror . I realized that the pain was causing me to stand up and walk in a different way, though not for the better! I put on my hoodie and sunnies, and I went to look for the Zeto Crystal.

When I came out of the room, I cursed myself for my unscrupulous cowardice the night before. By letting Jakub die, I also kill the trail to the conspiracy that holds Jerusalem and its inhabitants hostage. What if the conspiracy is somehow attributed to Zeto Kristal? I hadn't thought about it in an agitated state the night before, but now that question overwhelmed me.

I realize that moral dilemmas are irrelevant now. I'm here on a mission . M y mission is to find and clear Zeto crystals to make Earth a better place . I'm not here to sav e the life of the cold-blooded killer who has tried to kill me.

But how do I find the Zeto Crystal, and where will I begin my search? I realized that I felt a tingling sensation on the Western Wall, just before Yussuf and his plan to commit suicide had shattered the peace. But the Western wall may be locked after an attack****** the day before. I decided to explore the remaining parts of the Old City on foot, as it was not very suitable for a driverless taxi ride. It was painful walking on my rolled ankle, but it was, unfortunately, the only way to trick an automated AI camera. I just hope that my injured country will not attract the attention of the local police.

" I don't understand" I said, as the police officer faced me.

" Open your sunglasses and show me your identity card!" the police officer said in a firm voice.

I froze for a moment, distancing myself from the facial recognition security cameras, hoping the police officer wouldn't recognize me. After that, I opened my sunglasses and showed her my fake ID.

The police officer studied my fake ID and my face for a while. He nodded, forced a smile, and spoke. “ Thank you, Miss Keila Eisenstein. Do you need medical help with your Spindles? "

I smiled back and answered. “ No, it's just a minor sports injury. I should be fine in time . ”

" Alright, continue, civil ." The police officer said and walked away from me.

I felt relieved that I did not need to use my strength to get out of that situation . I also felt comforted that there was no warrant for my arrest . Otherwise the police will study my ID more closely . I walked into a small alley and went to a small coffee shop. I ordered peppermint tea, to calm my tense nerves.
