Back at Peter’s trailer he says, “What the hell was that all about? You did a crappy job, sliding out with Aza picking you up so easily.”

“You knew I was crossing the border?”

“Yusuf’s a good worker, but he also has a smuggling sideshow going on over in Syria. I didn’t think he was going to give you a tour of the camp.”

“So you and Aza were waiting at the crossing, making sure I was covered if need be.”

“Good thing I was,” he says. “I may be atoning for my sins, but I sure as hell ain’t no pacifist who leaves old friends hanging. And why were you so intent on getting across the border anyway?”

“Yusuf told me that Jack Zach was over there.”

“You believed him?”

“Enough to go with him.”

He turns and looks back into the darkness of Syria. “Where’s Yusuf?”

“Tried to run away from me through a mine field. Didn’t work out for him.”

Peter says, “Jesus, you can’t stay away from trouble, can you?”

“Apparently not.”

Inside the trailer it’s dark and crowded, with cardboard boxes and mismatched chairs. Peter shuffles around and comes back with two cold bottles of Efes Pilsen and opens them both. I take a long, refreshing slug and he says, “You looking for Jack Zach…a private job?”

“Yes.”

“Pays well?”

“Not a damn dime.”

“That’s the Owen I know,” he says. “What do you need now?”

“I need to get back to the airport at Gaziantep, preferably with my head intact.”

Peter smiles. “Demanding cuss, aren’t you?”

“Like you said, you know me well.”
