Solly checked on the map and guessed that they'd reach the falls by mid afternoon at this rate. The pain of hope gripped him as he imagined catching Khaled, wresting the cylinder from him, and then seeing justice done.

But they had no sight of him. The hours passed as they gazed out onto the river, straining for any sign of the boat they sought. As they went, the current picked up and then, quite suddenly, the river began to narrow.

"There!" Paulie cried, pointing to the far bank.

She was right. Khaled's boat had been drawn up to a concrete boat ramp. And a figure had jumped into the shallow water and was wading onto dry land.

Bobby swung the boat around and headed for the shore. There was no point in trying to catch Khaled unawares as they could see nowhere else to land. No, it was now a flat out race. And Khaled was winning.

He'd disappeared over the end of the ramp by the time they'd gotten close enough for Solly and Paulie to leap into the river while Bobby brought the boat to a stop.

They ran up the slipway, weapons drawn, and then onto the level road at the top, looking for any sign of the direction Khaled had taken. There he was, scampering up a side lane. And then two figures in black uniforms jumped from behind a stone wall, assault rifles raised and pointing directly at Solly and Paulie. "Drop your weapons!"

"Shoot them!" Khaled called. He'd turned to watch them. The two guards looked uncertainly at each other but didn't fire.

"You nearly caught me, didn't you?" Khaled said. Then he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out Alison. Solly could see from here that she wasn't in her protective sheath.

"You won't get away with this!" Solly said. It was a wretched cliché, but it was all he could think to say. He could just make out Alison's cyan eye as it roved around looking for the source of the voice.

"Father?" she called.

"I'm here."

Khaled laughed hysterically. "Father? Are you insane? She's a machine!"

There was a brief pause, then Alison screamed.
