I overlooked the small café from the ventilation shaft. I saw Martin open the door for the police officers. A few police officers dressed in combat gear, entered the room with drawn weapons. They were followed by a mysterious man, who I assumed was their leader. The leader was dressed in a long coat, wearing a monocle and a top hat. He looked very much out of place, both in time and location. I could sense a strong evil aura from the man, and it terrified me. "Where is the girl?" the man hissed to Martin.
Martin: "What girl? I don't know what you are talking about?"
Stranger: "You know exactly which girl I am talking about: Keila Eisenstein. That is why you came here, isn't it?"
Martin: "Perhaps, but, alas, I didn't find her."
Stranger: "You need to be careful with your words, Martin. Accidents happen so easily."
Martin: "What is this girl to you anyway? Why is she a person of interest to you, Ben Yehuda?"
Ben Yehuda: "She is the key to finding the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail is destined to change mankind as we know it. I cannot let that happen."
Martin: "What if she can change it for the better?"
Ben Yehuda: "Bah, we are living at the best of times, and my masters are close to achieving their goal of world dominance. I am giving you one last chance to save your life. Where is the girl going?"
Martin: "Perhaps she is going to the Templar Tunnels under the Great Temple of Solomon."
Ben Yehuda: "Yes, perhaps. In any case, you have outlived your usefulness, Martin. Greet your heathen gods from me!"
Having said this, Ben Yehuda aimed his gun at Martin's chest and shot him with several bullets. Ben's accomplices followed suit and killed the other two Arabic templars.
Hiding in the ventilation shaft just above them, I was petrified from witnessing the murders. But I kept my calm, and I crawled silently away from the scene.
I needed to find a new hiding place and a new identity, as Keila Eisenstein was clearly not a good name to use to avoid attention. I logged into my SplitCoin account and ordered the closest available safe house. I followed the ventilation shaft to its exit at the main street. After that, I followed the instructions on my phone to make my way to the safe hiding place. I made my way to the abandoned house, where I collapsed in tears as soon as I had locked the door behind me.
