<strong>Jasmine, still fuming</strong><br/><br/>She had heard Cindy take her leave of Richard and snorted softly when the girl caught up with the bird still perched on her. Shaking her head she tried to shoo it off but it seemed intent on remaining where it was. Since she wasn't in the mood to fight with it she left it for now. She was silent as she stormed back to the beach house. To be accosted in such a way infuriated her! She knew the family could be dangerous of course, but no one had said anything about them being crazy! And why had he approached her in such a manner? Had she just been in the wrong place at the wrong time? If he disliked his family that much why didn't he just leave?<br/><br/>Slamming the door open she growled softly and looked around realizing she didn't really have much to pack, "Cindy, I don't actually need your help packing, since I haven't really un-packed yet. Why don't you go ahead and call your boss while I back my few things and then I'll call my Captain. Apparently I'll be going to Italy after all. I thought it would be more peaceful here without the droves of tourists that flock into Europe this time of year, but the last thing I need is to have crazy people invading my grief with their own wild stories and problems.<br/><br/>If your boss wants to talk to me though, I will make it very clear that YOU had no part in this decision, you have been fantastic and a pleasure to be around. I don't want your pay or anything being docked on my account. If they won't want to pay you or something, because of my leaving early, I'll make up the difference myself for you. You've been a perfect companion even if it was only for a day."<br/><br/>Turning on her heel she moved deeper into the house to start packing the few things she'd taken out and to lay out clothing, clearly having every intention of actually leaving unless something was done to appease her temper.
