Chapter 11

Turning back around to face front, PJ looked at the moonlit landscape, wanting this mission to move ahead quickly and without further incident. The comradery she felt with Talib was unusual and she hadn’t even attempted to disguise her true self as they had talked about their lives.

Talib was an honorable man with strong convictions, a high moral standard, and a desire to make those around him feel safe and free to live their lives. She had only known him less than a day, but already she could tell that his emotions ran deep and he was man enough to acknowledge them. Add in the fact that physically he turned her on like no one else before him, and PJ couldn’t wait to explore the chemistry and budding relationship between them further.

She was slated to be in the country for a minimum of two months, and after this, she could foresee the Sheikh wanting twenty-four seven surveillance of his wife indefinitely. PJ would gladly sign on for that task, especially if it provided her more time to explore the gorgeous man sitting behind her.

She heard the crackle of the com unit just before Brett’s voice came over the line, “Are you listening?”

Talib responded, “Yes. What’s up?”

“You are approaching the target’s location.”

“How close are we?” Talib asked, bringing the camel to a stop.

“Less than half a mile. They will have to come right past you in the morning to gain access to the mountains. We think you should stop for the night and make camp.”

Talib thought about this before responding, “Roger. We’ll do that. Any word from the palace?”

“We spoke with the Sheikh less than an hour ago. No one is getting much sleep tonight. The leadership of Sumari has taken everyone into custody that sides with the extremists. None of them appear to be aware of what our young friend is up to. The senior leaders believe he is acting on his own out of revenge for his father’s death. And at the prompting of his mother.”

“His mother? Where does she come into this?”

“According to the information they obtained, she is as radical as they come and a little crazy on top of it. They suspect she is amongst the refugees, and helped him take Miss Malone captive.”

Talib wanted to find her and make her pay for bringing this situation to life, but the refugee camp was many miles away. “Send the palace guard to the camp at first light. Do they have a picture of her?”

“Yeah. She shouldn’t be hard to spot. She was burned in a fire several years ago and most of her face is covered by scar tissue.”

“Find her and have them escort her back to the palace prison. She can rot there until we capture her son.”

PJ interrupted at this point, “Brett, if the guy’s working on his own, what are the chances that he has help waiting for him in the caves?”

“From what we can tell, the caves are empty. The nomads aren’t even there right now.
