She looked up at me.

"Listen, Nick, London has got it wrong. This isn't about embarrassment, for Christ's sake. It's about assassination." I must have had that vacant expression on my face again, because she reverted to her kindergarten teacher voice.

"The team in the house; they were planning a hit on Netanyahu."

To be honest, I didn't really give a shit about Netanyahu, so I couldn't help a grin.

"The hit has failed. They're all dead, apart from one."

Her head started shaking like a mechanical toy. She was deadly serious, or as serious as you can be when all your extremities are purple, including your nose.

"No, you're wrong. There are still two more members of the cell. They were going to RV with us at the house today. You don't understand, Nick; it's not a job to them, it's a quest. They will carry on." There was real frustration in her voice.

"Believe me, ifNetanyahu dies, you will give a shit. It will change the way you live, Nick. That is, if you do."

I hated all this beating around the bush; it was like being in the middle of a conversation with Lynn and Elizabeth again.

"What the fuck are you on about, Sarah?"

She thought for a while as she buried her head back into the jacket collar.

The sound of the rotor blades kicked in to join the wind above us, then died as quickly as it came.

"No, not yet. I'm going to keep that as my insurance; I need to make sure you get me out of here. You see, Nick, I don't believe you're here to take me back to London. It must be more important than that, or they wouldn't have sent you."

She was right, of course. I would do exactly the same if I were in her position.

"Look, Nick. Keep me alive and get me out of here, and I'll tell you everything. Don't let them use you; give me time to prove it."

I hated not having control. I wanted to know more, but at the same I wasn't so desperate that I would lie awake at night with worry. I didn't reply;

I had to think. And I was going to take her out of there anyway, whether she liked it or not.

She adjusted her body on my legs, and looked up again and stared into my eyes.

"Nick, please believe me. I've got involved in something where nobody can be trusted and I mean nobody."

She kept her eyes locked on mine. She had just opened her mouth to speak again when we both heard the sound of somebody crashing through the trees.

Whoever it was wasn't having much luck with their footing. They hit the ground with a loud curse.

"Shittt!" It was a man's voice.

I didn't need to say anything to Sarah. She jumped away from me and my hand reached for the pistol.

The man must have got up, only to fall down again immediately with a grunt as he scrambled to recover.

"Oh, fuck, fuck ..."

On my hands and knees, I moved slowly to the edge of our hide and pushed my face against the branches.
