"Lets go before its too late." I heard a voice said cooly. "B-but what about t-this girl over t-there?" Another voice said in a afraid tone.
"Let her stay here until my revenge is done" said the voice carelessly. I heard footsteps going outside and when the sound died , I put myself together and got up. When my blurry view cleared , I started to think what had happened and why I am here.
After 2 minutes , my memory started coming back and i remember everything now. "Shit shit shit! I am trapped and Gwendolyn is out there ready to execute her demonly plan! I have to get outta here somehow." I said to myself.
I looked around ; the whole cage thingy looked absolutely disgusting. Even the metal bars were rusted. There was a rusted table on which many bottles of different designs and sizes were there.
Although everything looked disgusting and super unhygienic , but the bottles were clean and very beautiful. somehow it looked out of the ordinary and a little bit weird. I picked two of the bottles out of seven bottles and started placing them randomly.
this might work , though i am not sure. I thought to myself. After placing them around for a long time , i saw a door on the wall creak open and a golden key came out of the door as some invisible hand pushed it forward. I picked it up and put my hand out of the bars of the cage and unlocked the door.
Finally I got out of this mess. I thought to myself. I opened the other door to go out of the room.
As I recalled , they said that there is a party going to be on a cruise ship with the fellow detectives and the President himself and they are going to put the bomb somewhere.
Apparently , What I need to do is to find the bomb and stop it from blasting the whole ship.
Whatever I do later , is later but first I need to get out of here. I thought to myself.
After going through the pool to the living room I quickly opened the front door and took my jetski as fast as I could to my car.
....
I reached the Triple X Agency quickly and ran as fast as I could towards the President's office.
I knocked the door. No one answered it , so I went inside ; the office was suprisingly empty. I searched for a while thinking if I could find something , but the President wasn't there.
I sighed and looked around the building ; the whole building was totally deserted. I didn't notice it first as I was too stressed out to tell whatever happened at Gwendolyn's house.
Maybe everyone is at the cruise ship party I thought. I ran towards my car and immediately left to the place where party was going to be held.
...
After reaching there I hastily opened my car door and ran as fast as I could towards the ship ; it was huge and thankfully , it hadn't took off to the ocean.
I ran upstairs to inside the ship , it was quite beautiful , anything you can think of after the moment you enter is- relax. But unfortunately , I didn't really had that much of time to relax.
I have to look for the bomb ASAP. I started searching around hoping I could find something.
I checked everywhere , I didn't find anything. While looking around I saw Grace , probably looking around the ship. I approached her and waved. She waved back at me happily.
"Oh my Lara! You are not even dressed up yet! Let me help you let's go-" Grace began excitedly. "No , Grace. We don't have time to do these things. Listen we have a bomb somewhere in this ship.
Before it blasts , and kills everyone including the President , I mist find it and disable it." I interrupted.
"WAIT WHAT?! WE HAVE A BOMB HERE? ARE YOU SERIOUS LARA? LETS FIND IT!" She said ; bewildered. "Calm down and let's find it." I said. That's all I could say ; I didn't had enough time to blabber things.
So me and Grace kept searching. It was becoming dark , the party had obviously started. Everything was becoming more and more difficult , time was the only thing we had ; which is probably not much left anymore.
While searching and panicking , I suddenly saw a shadow behind me. I turned around- it was Gwendolyn.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" I asked ; frightened.
"What do you think I am here for? For a nice little party? Nah , too boring. I am here for revenge of course!" She said cooly.
"Where in the world have to put the bomb , Gwendolyn?!" I asked feeling angry.
"Oh you are going to find that out yourself. Aren't you? Wherever it is , I have the remote. See? Just one button to press and BOOM! How cool is that?" She said.
"Listen newcomer. You are already too much into this business. Get out of this already and stop wasting your time." She threatened.
"Oh do you think I am going to listen to your little threats? Never. Just wait and watch. I will show you that I am not just a "mere newcomer" as you expect me to."
