The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 44: Meeting with Martin Al-Sham and Getting Attacked by Mossad Agents

An hour later, I waited carefully at Barangaroo Pier as Martin Al-Sham approached me. He was limping, he was old, and he was wearing a thick jacket, which looked strange considering that it was a warm and humid April day. He smiled bitterly as he approached me and spoke: "Thank you for seeing me, Sabina."

“At least that's what I can do. You saved my life, and you helped me escape from Israel. I thought you were dead. The last time I saw you, you were shot, and I ran away from a Mossad agent. How did you survive and escape? “I asked with curiosity. “It's very easy. I survived a bullet wound and an ambulance picked me up. I was taken to court after I recovered. For some reason, I have never been accused of killing Ben Judah and the Templars. Being shot is not a crime, and the Mossad agent who shot me did not press charges. All I got was one year in prison for illegal possession of firearms, ” Martin Al-Sham replied.

I'm skeptical, to say east. It seems highly unlikely that no one found the bodies in the secret room, as we left the door open in the Templar Tunnel. Unless Martin has his legs removed from the body to cover up a murder, there's no way the Mossad will let him go. But why did Martin show up now, almost three years later? I decided to address this question first.

“So, why did you come visit me after so long, Martin? If your story survives, were you released from prison over a year ago? " I asked skeptically.

“I saw you in a dream a few nights ago. You are dying and you are saved by the power of the Zeto Crystal. I felt like I had to meet you as soon as possible, so I booked my next flight from Sweden to Australia. ” Martin said in an urgent tone.

“What are you doing in Sweden? I asked.

Martin replied: “ Alright. Sweden was my home country, and as soon as I served my one-year prison sentence, Israel deported me. After all, I had fulfilled my mission, so I felt that there was no need to stay there anymore. ”

I decided to use my empathetic power to read Martin's aura. I held her hand and looked into her eyes, and I felt a strong sense of familiarity, stronger than I had ever felt for John, who had raised me. I felt that he was a kind and trustworthy, gentle but bitter-sweet soul who had been through many years of war and pain. But why do I feel like this about a mysterious middle-aged man, that I only met a few times in my life?

I could not answer this question, but I concluded that Martin was a trustworthy friend, and that I should introduce him to my mother, Ellen. "Come Martin. My mother Ellen wanted to meet you and thank you for saving my life, ” I said and pointed towards my mother as she observed us from the nearest coffee shop. "Is the blonde woman in your mother's red jacket?" Martin asked and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yes, have you two met before?" I asked.

Martin didn't have time to answer my question, because we were distracted. “ W e finally meet, Miss Keila Eisenstein! " I heard a voice, with a thick Israeli accent, say to me from behind. I turned around, and I saw a man with lensed glasses, accompanied by three shady-looking characters, all wearing a suit and sunglasses.

"Ben Judah, is that you?" I asked in amazement.

"Wow, just the men I've been waiting to meet," I replied cynically.

"I'm sure you've been." replied Szymon, stopping, and then continuing the conversation. “ Luckily, today is your lucky day. I'm not here to avenge my brother. I'm here to retrieve the crystal you stole from the Templar Tunnel. Help me in this quest, and you can even get out of this life. ”Szymon gave me a threatening and sadistic smile, and I realized that his vague promise was just a lie.

"Oh, you mean this crystal? " I said defiantly and took out an energized Zeto Crystal from my pocket, showing a glowing orb in front of Szymon's face.

"Yes, leave it to me, Keila, so I can use it for the intended purpose" Szymon said in a cold voice.

" What is that? Kill and eliminate all those who oppose you? ” I asked defiantly.

" no... To carry out Yahweh's plan for the Holy Land. I want to kill all the Palestinians in Israel and win the war of our holy people!” Szymon answered wickedly and felt right himself.

I trembled with fear and anger at what Szymon said. I squeezed the Zeto Crystal with my right hand, while I clenched my left hand and responded. " I've decided...." I paused for a moment and then continued ". not to give you the Zeto Crystal ". After saying this, I punched Szymon at a shocking speed, and broke his nose. I then went back down into the water and swam towards the bottom to be safe. The killers started shooting after me, but they couldn't hit me, because I was underwater, the water was a bit murky, and the bullets slowed down in the water.

I panicked when I realized that I could not survive long underwater. I squeezed the Zeto Crystal and prayed to the True Maker. I was so relieved, I didn't need to breathe anymore, and I felt it with water, as if I were a water creature. The shooting ended, and I saw blood running in the water. I dared not swim to the surface to check what had happened, and instead, I chose to swim as fast as I could.

An hour later, I showed up at Farm Cove, in the Royal Botanical Gardens, swimming for 5 kilometers. My phone broke, and my clothes were soaking wet. I realized I had to go home and get my things. Mossad obviously did not know my true identity and had followed Martin Al-Sham to find me. So, my house is my safest bet, but how do I get there? While I would like to seek help from the authorities, I fear they may have been compromised. I decided to run the house for 6 kilometers and improve my fitness level with Zeto Kristal. It was not the wisest way to spend his limited energy, but I was afraid, and I wanted to isolate myself from the outside world.

With the energy from the crystal, I ran home in less than 20 minutes. I scanned my fingerprint on the inbound scanner to enter my house. As soon as I entered, I walked into the bathroom, and I fell into a warm bathtub. I instructed the AI household robot to bring me tea, and to keep the bath water warm. Tired of the physical strain, I fell asleep in the bathroom. When I woke up, I saw a face that I had long wanted to see over the past few days; the sweet and handsome Alexander was looking at me kindly.
