Kathleen began to feel a little nervous and asked Rosalie another question.
"Did Mr. Wade change his mind? No... That can’t be... Mr. Wade isn't like that. Where does he want us to go?"
Rosalie said smiling, "Mr. Wade said the destination will remain a secret for now. Even I don’t know where we're going. All I know is that we have half an hour to prepare. Once the helicopter arrives, it will take us out of here to... Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.”
"Sri Lanka..." Kathleen muttered and then turned around to see the land far away to the right.
She muttered to herself, "No wonder the cargo ship has been moving very slowly.
So, he intends to let us disembark here...’
Then, she looked at Rosalie and asked," Rosalie, are you coming to Colombo with us?"
"Yeah," Rosalie replied with a smile. "Mr. Wade has ordered me to escort you to the destination safely.”
Kathleen nodded softly and asked again,' Is my grandpa aware of the changes?"
Rosalie said, "I came to inform you as soon as I received the new order. You should inform Mr. Fox and Mr. Yant about this.'
“Okay," Kathleen then became a little melancholy. "I'll go speak to my grandpa and Master Yant now. I'll tell them to pack quickly.”
"Sure," Rosalie said, "I’ll have to pack too, so let's meet at the deck in twenty-five minutes."
After that, Kathleen trotted back to the cargo ship's cabin.
Jordan was bored in his room, so he was trying to carve a fist-sized piece of scrap wood with a pocket knife.
He had happened to pick up several pieces of scrap wood on the ship, and since he was bored, he had decided to try carving something to kill time.
Meanwhile, his bodyguard, Jarvis, was helping him polish one of the wood carvings. Jarvis had found some sandpaper and had helped him to polish the carving. He praised and said, "Lord Fox, I did not expect you to be so skillful at this! Look at this Tara statue that you've sculpted! It's so lifelike!”
