Chapter Nine – Dreams
They all entered the lair with slumped shoulders and long, sad faces. Carmen stopped at the top of the stairs completely awestruck by how the lair looks. She slowly walked down the stairs while looking up at the ceiling of the lair. She nearly fell down the stairs but caught herself just in the nick of time. Her heartbeat was racing from the sudden jolt that her body just experienced. She could feel the weight of Ruby's body on her back making her slump forward ever so slightly so Ruby wouldn't slide off of her back. Ruby's breathing was irregular; Carmen could feel the hot puffs of air coming from Ruby's mouth as she tried to get the oxygen that her body needed to in order to survive. Carmen continued to walk down the stairs and then stopped at the bottom, unsure of where to go. She looked left to right and back again, she saw April and Donnie enter another room so they could go get the antidote for Ruby. Suddenly Jasmine appeared beside her with a gentle smile on her face, trying to look upbeat but failed in the end.
"Come on, you can set Ruby on the couch over by the TV," Jasmine told Carmen.
"Alright…." Carmen responded. She walked towards the spot that Jasmine pointed out for her. Once she was by the couch, she gently slides Ruby off her back as Mikey and Raph took Ruby from her grasp. They gently set Ruby down, back first, onto the couch making sure that she was all the way on it. Carmen sat down in front of her sister making sure if Ruby woke up that she wouldn't fall off and end up breaking something in the process. Once she was settled, Donnie and April returned to the main room, Donnie was carrying a small syringe in his hand. He walked up to Ruby and Carmen and leaned down towards her so he could explain what he was going to do to Ruby to Carmen. She agreed to his plan and waited for Donnie to his job. Donnie slowly pushed the needle into Ruby's skin causing her to twitch from the sudden prick of pain. He then slowly injected the antidote liquid into her system and then slowly took out the needle.
"There…that should do it…." Donnie said with a sigh of relief.
He rose from where he was sitting and went back into his lair to disinfect the syringe in case he needed it again later on that day. Carmen noticed Ruby's skin started to go back to its original color and her breaths weren't as short as there were just a minute ago. She sighed with relief when she saw the signs of recovery; my sister is going to be alright she thought. She sank down to the floor with complete relief; suddenly she felt small movement from behind her making her jump up from her comfy spot on the floor. She looked over at Ruby and saw her moving around a little trying to get up and off of the couch. Ruby groaned loudly and clutched her head like she had a major migraine.
"Ugh…oww…." Ruby groaned even louder this time. "Who turned on the brights?"
"Uhh…Ruby?" Carmen asked slowly. "How do you feel?"
"Well…besides my splitting-earing ringing headache, I feel fine…why?" Ruby replied while still holding her head with one hand, she looked up at Carmen but suddenly looked away because of the bright light that was coming from behind Carmen.
"…We-ll…let's just say you had a 'fun' experience earlier…." Carmen tried to explain to her sister. "A-nd well your night might even get weirder…."
Ruby just looked up at her sister with squinting, confused eyes; she had no clue on what Carmen was trying to tell her…well not until she saw two of the figures that was standing a few feet behind Carmen by what it looks like to her a punching bag and a gaming machine. Suddenly, Ruby's eyes got really big making Carmen stop talking and look at her sister with curiosity.
"—Uhh—Ruby? Why are you making that face?" Carmen asked her. She looked over her shoulder and noticed Raph practicing with the dummy, and Mikey who was playing the pinball machine. "Ohh—that explains it…."
"Wha-What are those things!?" Ruby screamed at Carmen while trying to scoot as far as she could away from the two turtles.
"They are our—friends, I think…." Carmen tried to explain, slowly to Ruby.
Carmen's comment didn't help Ruby's situation in fact, it made things worse. Ruby scrambled to her feet, swaying a little, and started to run away from Carmen towards hopefully an exit. From all the commotion those two were making it caused Jasmine poke her head out of the kitchen to see what was going on, Raph and Mikey stopped what they were doing, and made April and Donnie run back into the main room. Jasmine immediately rushed over to Carmen's side. Everybody else tried to calm Ruby down but as soon as any of the turtles came near her she would scream even louder and run away from there soothing words.
"What happened?" Jasmine asked Carmen breathlessly.
"Well when I was talking to her she looked behind me and saw Raph and Mikey doing what they were doing over there and she started to panic and freaked out," Carmen replied. "Why does she have to make things so difficult…?" she sighed.
April finally got a hold of Ruby's wrist and stopped her from running around the room, they both stood there breathless, but after a few seconds Ruby tried to get April's grasp off of her arm.
"Ruby! Calm down, you're in a safe place now…." April said trying to calm her down even more.
"NO! No I'm not…if I was in a safe place, it would be my room not here with these—these—creatures!" Ruby yelled at April still trying to get out of April's grasp.
"HEY!" All of the turtles protested at once as Ruby said that.
"Ruby, its ok…they were the ones who helped you, and for one thing you probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for Donnie's antidote…." Jasmine said.
Ruby stopped struggling in April's grasp and looked back at Jasmine with a confused look across her face. "What do you mean?" Ruby slowly asked her. "Cause' I don't remember anything about being hurt or anything like that…."
"Wait…you mean you don't remember what happened at Muracami's?" Jasmine asked completely surprised by Ruby's last comment.
"Yeah, is that a bad thing?" Ruby said now standing completely still by April; she occasionally glanced at one of the turtles now and then to make sure they wouldn't attack her out of the blue or something. April still clung to her, making sure she wouldn't try to run away again.
"…Yeah…" Jasmine said. "When you were at Muracami's, you got attacked by one of the purple dragons but then me and the turtles jumped in and helped you guys. But, unfortunately somehow you got poisoned and it left you very ill. You seriously don't remember that?"
"Yeah…" Ruby responded. "Is that why my head hurts so badly when I woke up?"
"Mostly likely," Donnie replied to her question. "And for your memory loss it might be possible the poison could have affected your latest memory which in this case was the fight at Muracami's."
"O—kay…" Ruby said while looking at the green lad in the purple bandana with a weird look.
"Well…now that you have calmed down a bit, how about I introduce you to them-" Jasmine said.
"HI! I'm MIKEY!" Mikey squealed on the top of his lungs while jumping into the air and interrupting Jasmine.
Mikey's introduction surprised Ruby a little making her back up a little from him but then she started to smile a little and then she ended up laughing while releasing some of the tension that was in the air. She wiped a small tear from the corner of her eye while trying to calm down from the sudden excitement.
"Okay, I have to admit that was pretty funny," Ruby said while smiling at Mikey.
"In that case, I'm Raph," Raph said while pointing his thumb towards his chest.
"Also known as the Hot Headed one of the group," the one with the blue bandana said sarcastically. "And I'm Leo." Raph growled at Leo's comment and stormed back to where the punching bag was.
"I'm the tech-guy of the group, you can call me Donnie," Donnie said.
"So you're the one who gave me the antidote, right?" Ruby asked him.
"Yeah, yeah I did," Donnie said while rubbing the top of his head in embarrassment.
"Sweet," Ruby said while smiling.
"I thought you were scared of us just a little bit ago…." Raph asked her.
"Well, yeah…I mean wouldn't you freak out a little bit if you saw walking turtles around you when you just woke up?" Ruby asked him.
"Touché," Raph replied while crossing his arms and grinned a little bit.
Everyone started to talk about who they were and what they liked to Ruby so she could become there friends even though at first she didn't want to. After a couple of minutes Jasmine walked out of the main room and went into the dojo, where she could think a little without all of the noise in the background. Once she was in the entrance, she walked towards the tree and sat down in front of it. She sat there in complete silence not sure on what to do. While she was scrambling things together in her mind, Leo walked in and stopped by the entrance.
"Hey…" Leo said. His loud voice startled Jasmine causing her to jump a little and brought her back to reality.
"Hey, what's up?" Jasmine asked him as she turned around so she could see him better. He walked over to her and sat down in front of her, and smiled at her with a pained look.
"I'm guessing there's too much stuff going on at the same time and its making mine and your brain hurt just trying to fit everything together, am I right?" Jasmine asked him.
"Yeah, unfortunately…." Leo replied with a sigh. "Now that you mention that, how about you tell me what happened to you why you blacked out, but only if you want to…."
"…Yeah, okay…." Jasmine said slowly. "I just got to figure out where to begin, otherwise it would be way to confusing…."
"It's that bad, huh?" Leo asked.
"…Yeah…" Jasmine replied. "Okay, I think I found the right spot, hopefully, as I blacked out I saw something that I wish that I never seen but unfortunately I did:
(Dream)
Puffs of smoke rolled over the now deserted wasteland. Everything was in ruins there was literally nothing left from what used to be the small village that held many innocent people. Bodies were scattered across the land as if they were thrown around like rag dolls. Jasmine couldn't comprehend on what happened here on this deserted wasteland, she just couldn't. She walked around slowly to the top of the hill making sure not to step on any of the motionless bodies; she nearly lost her lunch when she saw the scene that was before her eyes once she got to the top. Disassembled limbs, burned corpses littered across the wasteland, anything and everything was on that field, even things you couldn't even imagine were there. But the most horrible thing of all was the blood, nothing but blood pools everywhere she looked. Jasmine wanted to look away so badly but the horror and gore that was before her froze her gaze upon the battlefield. She couldn't believe what she was seeing there was literally nothing left, only remains or the support beams of random buildings. Jasmine wanted to run away, away from this horrific scene, away from whatever this—this—nightmare was supposed to mean. Suddenly there was a small shimmer from some object that was over by one of the buildings remains. She started to walk towards the object in a trance, in her mind she demanded, no she screamed her body to stop but nothing was working to her advantage. Her legs continued to move towards the remains like it was just another ordinary stroll in the city's park. Tears started to plop down onto her shirt, she didn't want to find out what this object was because she knows it won't end well, she doesn't know how she knows, she just does.
"S-Stop…" Jasmine whimpered. "Why aren't you listening to me!?"
Her body continued to move against her will, she tried again and again to will her body to stop moving but again it was no use. By the time she decided to try again, her legs suddenly stopped right by the ruins of a small building. Jasmine tested her legs again but this time she could move them with no problem, she wiped away the tears that had spilled out of her eyes when she had no control over her body. She slowly calmed herself down and took in even and short breaths making sure the adrenaline rush was out of her system. That's when she object glinted in the sunlight again, but this time it didn't scare her in fact curiosity struck her with full force making her walk little by little towards the object. Once she got close enough she could tell it was a small pendent almost identical to the ones that were around her neck. It had the same frail golden wire that wrapped around the gem making it glint in the night. But what was different about it was the shape and color of the gem; it kind of looked like a small white fluffy cloud with some hints of baby blue specks of color randomly placed in it. Jasmine leaned in closer to get a closer look causing her necklace to swing back and forth in the wind, jingling like a wind chime.
She started to slowly raise her hand up towards the pendent but before she could touch it a loud noise erupted from behind her. She screamed and ran behind a small piece of rubble knocking down the pendent into a small puddle of dirt, blood, and water in the process; she could hear pieces of remains fall to the ground with small and loud thumps. After a couple of minutes of silence passed by Jasmine peaked up and around her hiding spot to see what had caused that corruption. Her eyes widened immensely as a tall but frail looking guy in white walked around the wasteland.
"WHERE IS IT!?" he yelled on top of his lungs causing a couple of small chunks of rubble to roll and fall off of some of the buildings from the echo of his scream.
He strolled around a little bit looking for something that apparently was very important to him. Suddenly he stopped and cocked his head slightly towards Jasmine, listening intently, after a couple of seconds he suddenly turned towards Jasmine's hiding spot and started to move swiftly towards her. Jasmine inhaled silently and shrank back down onto the blood soaked ground as far as she could. As he got closer and closer Jasmine suddenly remembers who this guy is, his name is Gilgamesh. He kept walking towards her until he was hovering over Jasmine's hiding spot; he looked down and sneered while saying, "You think you can hide from me…JASMINE!"
Jasmine screamed while stumbling to her feet and she began to run for her life in the other direction away from him. As she ran she kept tripping over bodies and rubble but Gilgamesh was just strolling along like this was normal for him chasing after people. Why of all people did it have to be him!? Jasmine thought. And how the heck does he know my name!? Her mind was swirling with unanswered questions but she had no time for that, she looked over her shoulder to check if he was still following her. He wasn't there, Jasmine started to freak out even more because what's even worse than being chased by him is not knowing where he is now, he could at any moment jump out and kill her for all she knows. She slowed her pace down and started to walk around the deserted wasteland. Now that she wasn't running anymore she could actually look at her surroundings again, but she wished she didn't have the time for that. It wasn't the bodies or the blood that disturbed this time but the remains of what it looked like used to be a small farm house.
Jasmine walked up to it and walked through what used to be the doorway. As of right now there were only two walls standing, the one that held the remaining entrance and the one in the back that held two small shelves or what remains or them anyway. She walked up to it and gasped, she couldn't believe it, right there in front of her was a small family photo and two small, rag dolls. In the photograph there was a small boy and what looked like to her a ten-year old girl, the mother and father were standing behind them, the father had both of his hands on his son and the mother had her tiny frail hand on the right shoulder of her daughter. The father was very tall and muscular, no doubt probably from all of the farming he did, but what really surprised Jasmine was the mother. She had long brown-red-ish hair with piercing blue eyes; her body looked like it might fall apart right then and there. But the only thing that Jasmine was interested in was the necklace that was wrapped around the mother's neck, it had a sliver chain but the pendants were strangely identical to the ones that Jasmine had on now. Once Jasmine saw that she dropped the picture frame causing it to crash and shatter on the remaining concert floor. Out of everything that happened, this was the most surprising of them all put together.
How in the world could that woman have my necklace!? I mean this place looks about a thousand years old! Jasmine thought to herself. She clutched her forehead not sure on what to do now; she looked back down at the picture again and sighed. She leaned down and picked the picture out from the broken pieces of glass and put it in her pocket. She looked back at the shelves at the remaining dolls that were sittings there and frowned. She gently picked one up and held it in the palm of her hand, who could do such a thing to this place!? Jasmine thought. She was about to set the doll back down when something grabbed onto her shoulder and yanked her backwards. She let out a loud yelp as the intruder spun her around and grabbed onto the collar of her shirt and lifted her up into the air. Her feet dangled about a foot off the ground making her gasp for air as the intruder tighten his grip.
"Where is it!?" A young male voice asked violently. "Tell me where it is and I might let you live!"
"I-I don't know what you're talking about…." Jasmine struggled to say as she tried to get oxygen into her lungs.
"Yeah you do, don't play stupid with me, little girl!" the male voice said. "Tell me where it is, NOW! Or would you rather spend the rest of your pathetic life with these corpses?"
"NO! no…." Jasmine yelled. She didn't know what to do, she had no clue on what this guy was talking about not to mention she couldn't even see the guy's face since she was up and over his head.
"Either you tell me now, or I'm going to count to three and once I get to three…well let's just say you're precious live won't be the only thing you will be worrying about…." The young guy threatened. "Bring him out!"
Jasmine heard small shuffling noises coming from behind her killer's back, suddenly the young guy shifted Jasmine down to level ground but kept his hand wrapped around her neck just in case she got any ideas to escape he had a quick and painless way to kill her. She kept her head down not wanted to lift it to see what was going on in front of her but once the guy behind her saw what she was doing, he immediately yanked her forehead back and forced her to look at the scene in front of her. Jasmine's heart stopped, tears started to pool around her eyes and plopped onto the ground.
"So now you know what is exactly on the line if you don't tell me where that pendant is," her killer whispered into her ear. Once she heard the word pendant, she knew exactly who was behind her; she quickly turned her head and saw that her intuitions were right. It was Gilgamesh. Her pain suddenly turned into rage and she lost all of her senses and broke free of his grasp. Once she was free she immediately turned around and charged towards Gilgamesh. He just laughed at Jasmine as she tried everything within her power to hurt him.
"Feeling a little cocky, eh?" Gilgamesh chuckled. He grabbed a handful of her hair and yanked it back as hard as he could causing Jasmine to scream her head off and fall to the ground, she clutched the spot where he yanked at her hair and whimpered. "Now, you either tell me where that pendant is cause' I know you know where it is or you can watch this little innocent boy life drain from his veins as I slash his throat. You have three seconds to make you choice." Jasmine sat back up and looked at the frail boy, he was literally trying anything and everything possible to disappear into his own body but it was pointless.
"…ONE…" Gilgamesh said as he started to walk towards the boy. The boy looked up and whimpered as Gilgamesh got closer and closer to him. He tried to cower past the guards but unfortunately they just shoved him even closer to Gilgamesh.
"…TWO…" Gilgamesh continued. This time he was taking out his one edge sword that was hidden beneath his white cloak. As he got closer he started to raise his sword back behind his back getting ready to strike the boy's neck once he said the number three. Jasmine didn't know what to do, she wanted to save the little boy's life but she also didn't want to give the other pendant to this creep. At that exact moment she remembered about her own necklace and she looked down to make sure it was still there. Fortunately for her it was still there but somehow it had gotten into the inside of her shirt and had stayed hidden from Gilgamesh's sight.
"…THREE!" Gilgamesh screamed. He started to bring down his raised sword towards the little boy's neck.
"WAIT!" Jasmine screamed on the top of her lungs. "Wait…I'll tell you where the pendant is just don't hurt that little boy!" Gilgamesh stood there in mid-swing and smiled. He knew exactly what Jasmine's weak spots were and he was going to poke at them and poke at them until they popped. He turned around and gently put his sword away into its hiding spot and walked back towards Jasmine.
"What did you just say? I couldn't quite hear you…" Gilgamesh teased Jasmine while putting a cupped hand up to his ear.
"I said…I'll tell you where the pendant is just leave the little boy out of this…." Jasmine said with clenched teeth.
"That's what I thought, I'm glad you finally saw it my way, my dear," Gilgamesh said while holding out a hand to Jasmine. She just looked at him with pure hatred in her eyes, she wanted nothing to do with this guy but she had no choice. Now she exactly remembered why she hated this guy with her very existence, he was a cruel, deceiving, heartless monster you will ever see on the face of this earth. She refused his offer and stood up by herself, suddenly she got an idea.
"Hey! Gilgamesh, the only way I'm going to tell where it is, if and only if you let this boy go then and only then I will tell you where I found the pendant," Jasmine bargained. Gilgamesh laughed at her comment and walked back towards her once more.
"Look here, little girl, I'm the one around here who makes all of the rules so you either come with me now and show me where the pendant is or your sad, little, pathetic life will end right here and right now!" Gilgamesh spitted into Jasmine's face. He spun back around and started to walk back to the spot he was originally in.
"NO!" Jasmine yelled. Jasmine's comment suddenly made Gilgamesh stop dead in his tracks.
"WHAT did you just say to me, LITTLE GIRL!?" Gilgamesh yelled at her stilled turned away from her.
"You heard me, I. Said. NO!" Jasmine yelled again but this time it was a little louder.
"That's what I thought I heard you say, are you sure you don't want to rephrase that!?" Gilgamesh said while tensing up and causing a couple a veins pop up here and there on his forehead.
"In matter of fact, I don't," Jasmine said with confidence. "In fact, you have no room to talk because if you kill me right here and now you wouldn't be able to find your precious little gem now would you? And if you even think about hurting that little boy, you'll regret it cause' I will personal will come after you and make sure you breath your last breath!"
Gilgamesh just stood where he was completely still, adding tension to the air. He started to shake violently as his anger and cool boiled over his limit. The guards took one glance towards there leader and cowered within the armor.
"…FINE! Let the boy free!" Gilgamesh yelled at the now cowering guards. "NOW!" The two guards jumped out of their trance and started to take off the little boy's shackles. Once the little boy was free, he immediately ran over to Jasmine and gave her a huge hug while crying loudly into her shirt. Jasmine started to pat the boy gently on the head trying to get him to calm down a little so she could talk to him.
"Shh…it's okay now, I'm here for you, you're not alone anymore, okay?" Jasmine told the boy with a soothing and mother-like voice. The boy nodded and glanced up at Jasmine while tears were streaming down his face. Once Jasmine saw his face she couldn't believe her eyes, this boy is the same exact one that was just in the picture she saw not too long ago. She snapped out of her daze and told herself this was not the time to think and gaze at this boy, we need to find a way out of here and fast.
"You got the boy; now get your sorry butt moving before I move it for ya'!" Gilgamesh yelled back over his shoulder.
Jasmine silently rose from her spot and started to walk towards Gilgamesh; the boy clung to the seam of her shirt making sure not to let go. She smiled down at him and continued to walk forwards. They walked for hours on end until Jasmine pointed out the spot she saw the pendant at. Once Gilgamesh saw the spot he sprinted towards it like he was a three year old running after an ice cream truck. Jasmine stayed where she was still with the boy clinging to her leg. She desperately tried to find a way out of here but she couldn't find any clues it was just all barren wasteland in every direction. She sighed and was about to sit down when a loud scream came from the spot where Gilgamesh was standing.
"Where IS it? It's nowhere to be seen!" he yelled. He stormed back towards Jasmine causing the little boy to run and hide behind Jasmine's legs. "You better not be messing with me, child!? Or you WILL regret it!"
"I'm not; I swear this is the spot where I last saw it!" Jasmine yelled back at him.
"I don't believe you!" Gilgamesh said through clenched teeth. He put his hand behind Jasmine and grabbed the little boy's wrist. He yanked him out from behind Jasmine and dragged him towards a free standing wall.
"WAIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?" Jasmine screamed at Gilgamesh. She started to run towards them but was immediately stopped by the two guards. One took a hold of her arms and locked them behind her back so she couldn't have any chance of escape. "NO! LET HIM GO! HE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS!"
Gilgamesh acted like he didn't her pleas and yanked the boy even harder towards the wall. The boy kept screaming Jasmine's name over and over while trying to get free of Gilgamesh's grasp but it was no use. Gilgamesh took out one of the shackles and put one end on the boy's wrist and the other on a small pole that was in front of the free standing wall. Then he walked about eight feet away and turned back around to face the boy. He grabbed something from a small pouch that was strapped to his belt; there was a small glint of light as it passed through the sunlight. Jasmine and the boy stopped screaming at each other once they saw what the weapon was; it was a six-cylinder handgun.
"NO! Nooo….." Jasmine yelled. "You can't do this, Gilgamesh, you can't!"
"Ohh…yes I can, my dear, Yes. I. Can." he said with an evil smile that went ear to ear. And with that final word, he fired his gun at the little boy's head.
"And that's pretty much what happened when I was unconscious," Jasmine said while hanging her head. "That's why I was so scared once everybody left, I mean wouldn't you be scared out of your mind when you had a dream that was that vivid and I can't even forget it to!" Jasmine started to break down and tears started to form around her eyes once again.
"Hey…I'm sure everything is going to be alright, you just got to pull through it even though it may be hard," Leo said while wiping away some of the tears that started to go down Jasmine' face.
"…Yeah, you're right, I just need to calm down…." Jasmine said while taking in deep, slow breaths. "Oh and I forgot to mention but when I woke up after that dream I found this…."
Jasmine pulled out a small piece of white paper that was neatly folded into a square. She handed it over to Leo and asked him to open it. He did and for a couple of seconds he just sat there looking at the paper unsure how to take this one all in. Because not only was it a scary coincidence but it really weird and horrifying to find the same paper not only in the looks but in every detail even the small little scratches that was left behind when Jasmine got it off of the floor. The small, frail paper that was in Leo's hands was the small family picture that was in the family's house or what was left of them. He looked up at Jasmine and just stared at her not sure on what to say because this was something else on a whole different level and if this picture came out to be true then what about the little boy and Gilgamesh.
"That's what I thought you would do…." Jasmine sighed.
"…Yeah…" Leo responded. "How about we go and find splinter and tell him what happened…."
"No! no…I don't want to involve anybody else more than I have to and besides the only reason I told you this was because I know you can help me get through this even though I don't know all the details yet but to be honest I think we are a lot closer than ever and it might get a little dangerous on the way," Jasmine said quietly. "So if you would, please keep it a secret? At least just for now until I find out more information about these pendants and this Gilgamesh guy…please, Leo, I'm begging you not to tell them yet..."
Leo looked at Jasmine and sighed, "Alright…but you have to tell me every single detail you find out about this—this—case, okay?"
"Okay, I promise…." Jasmine said.
But what they didn't know at the time, there was a little eavesdropper that was leaning against the side of the doorway staying hidden within the shadows making sure he wasn't seen by them. Once they were done, the eavesdropper slowly tip-toed down the hallway and entered the main room with a worried expression on his face.
"What's wrong Raph?" Donnie asked his brother. "You look like you have seen a ghost, even though ghosts aren't real."
"Nothing's wrong, now stay out of my shell!" Raph yelled at Donnie and walk back towards his room. He plopped down onto his bed back first and looked up at the ceiling, he thought about what he heard Jasmine and Leo talk about in the dojo early and he still couldn't believe what Jasmine had experience but he does know this one way or another he is going to find a way to help Jasmine even if it kills him.
