CHAPTER 22

Ahmed could now see the tall structures of the power station looming up ahead of them. He used his mobile phone to communicate with the four team members in the rear of the vehicle.

‘We’re getting close. Stay calm and alert!’ he instructed them. ‘I will keep the phone line open for now! When I give the word, remove the covers from the port holes as planned.’

The large vehicle continued down the approach road to the power station and, as expected, joined a line of traffic waiting to go through the control barrier. Ahmed could make out four armed police officers carrying Heckler Koch assault rifles. He could see the police were checking all occupants’ IDs. Their truck was now just a few car lengths from the barrier. Ahmed could feel the mounting tension within him heighten even more.

The traffic flow into the establishment always increased at 8.30am, and the officers at the main gate were busy checking all vehicles as they arrived for work. Adam was standing beside a colleague on the road at the first set of open metal gates, checking that both drivers and their vehicles had the appropriate passes to enter the establishment. The other two officers, standing at the second set of open gates, had the task of providing cover for their two colleagues standing in the road. The vehicular traffic through these gates had increased massively since the start of construction work on the site. The contractors were an impatient lot, intolerant of the security procedures which they saw as bureaucratic nonsense that only got in the way of efficiency and speed.
