They flew out on the same RCAF CC-130 early the next morning, accompanied by the four surviving prisoners and two Polish guards. Back in Tripoli, Sandra said she was returning to Germany in two days and hoped not to return to Libya anytime soon.

“We’ll always have Toummo,” Akil said, paraphrasing a line from Casablanca.

Sandra shook her head and smiled.

Crocker had a lot on his mind, including the news about Farhed Alizadeh, which he wanted to report to Remington. But Holly came first.

As soon as he and his men returned to the guesthouse, he called the embassy. Knocking out the rhythm to “Lonely Boy,” the Black Keys song playing in the living room, he waited for Leo Debray to get on the line.

“So tell me, Leo,” Crocker asked, “where is she staying?”

“Holly?”

“Who else?”

“Holly’s not here yet,” Debray answered in an official tone of voice.

“Why? What happened?”

“Nothing happened, really. She and Brian never arrived.”

Crocker sensed something wrong. “What do you mean, they never arrived? I thought they were supposed to land here this morning. Was the flight delayed again?”

“I don’t know.”

He felt his blood pressure rocket up. “What do you mean, you don’t know?”

“I mean the flight did land earlier today, and they weren’t on it. Why, we don’t know. We’ve tried to contact them but don’t know where they are. We haven’t heard from them since last night.”

He felt like he’d been kicked in the balls. Trying to breathe normally, he said, “You’re telling me my wife is missing?”

“I’m sorry to report that’s more or less correct.”

He wanted to say that things like this weren’t supposed to happen to American officials traveling overseas. Instead he looked out the window and asked, “Holly doesn’t have a cell phone with her?”

“She has one but isn’t answering. We’ve left numerous messages but so far have received no calls back.”

“What about Brian?”

“Same thing.”

“And the last place you heard from them was Sirte?”

“That’s correct. Last night, like I told you.”

“You don’t have any people there who can check on them?”

“Not in Sirte.”

“How come?”

“Because the city was almost completely destroyed during the war.”
