Chapter 20

London, UK

The Prince paced in front of his office desk. He was still at his London estate where he had been ensconced since fleeing Riyadh so many months before. He nervously stroked his mustache as he paced. His approach to life had always been as if it were a game of chess. He was winning, but he had to sacrifice a few pieces along the way to get to his position. Omer and Abbas had both dropped off the map, which was worrisome. But, on the positive side, his children were again by his side, and his archenemy was about to lose his Kingdom. Saudi was on the brink of a full-scale civil war, and Turki had every intention of pushing it over the edge with his next move.

The thought of the torment he was causing his cousin made him smile. He couldn’t help but think, if given the chance, MBS would gladly return his billions several times over if it would erase the last weeks of unrest that threatened his Kingdom. He had no intention of making it that easy; he wasn’t going to let up until the Crown Prince fled Saudi and exiled himself at his French palace. Even that wouldn’t be the end of it, because Prince Turki had yet another surprise waiting for him in France.

The disappearance of Omer wasn’t his main worry. Omer had been essential early on, as he was the person who brought the lost Quran to his attention. In the beginning of the plan, Omer was very active operationally, particularly with the attack on the Shirin compound and seizure of the artifacts. It made sense that his activities would eventually be discovered. The Israelis, Americans, Saudis, or even one of the European countries whose citizens he had massacred in Homs had probably snatched him. It didn’t matter. Omer had never been afforded the privilege of learning the Prince’s grand design.

Abbas was a different matter altogether. His familiarity with the Prince was much greater, and there was no good reason he should have come to the attention of an intelligence agency. Which could only mean he was not aware of something important that was going on. This not knowing concerned him greatly. As a precaution, he decided to relocate to someplace where he could have heavily armed security and the support of a friendly government. Morocco was the place. He had an excellent relationship with King Mohammed and the cash-strapped former playboy was always willing to turn a blind eye in exchange for a generous donation.

He owned a beautiful estate in Tangier. He had not visited in almost a year, and he missed it. This would be the perfect time to make use of it. The home was isolated, easily defended, and would offer him the privacy he needed to stay off the grid until it was safe again to show himself.
