CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

Using her high society swagger all the way until the Rolls left the restaurant, Angelika whipped off her hat and tossed it on the seat beside her. After exhaling loudly, she said, “I can’t stand that man.”

Rico, whose dark eyes stared back at her from the rearview mirror, asked, “Did you get the required information?”

She nodded. “Enough to see the next stage of the operation to commence.”

“And the nukes?”

“In Tunisia, as suspected.”

Rico nodded and turned his eyes back to the road.

Though her chauffer was a part of her team, Angelika had no idea from what agency he represented, the man a secret. For the most part he had been a silent partner who only spoke when necessary, such as asking about her close communication with Faruk. Small talk and banter were not his style of engagement, nor did he give any information outside of operating under the guidelines of a foreign organization. He was simply a plant who worked under a need-to-know basis on Angelika’s part, so she didn’t pry. But she did suspect it was either Interpol or the Mossad, since both had high-end interest regarding the nuclear weapons.

Then from Rico: “Have you set an appointment for a final engagement?”

She nodded. “Tomorrow night,” she said. “At seven.”

“Location?”

“His estate.”

Rico remained silent for the rest of the drive, the man negotiating through the proper streets until he reached her residence.

Grabbing her hat and opening the door, she said, “Meet me here tomorrow night at six.”

Confirming this with a nod, Rico pulled away from the curb and continued off to whatever hideaway he lived at.

As soon as she reached her residence, Angelika tossed aside her purse and hat, went to the safe to grab her Ismarsat BGAN tablet, and began to program the unit to exclusively join itself with a particular overhead satellite. Once the connection was made and the networks began to speak to one another, she received an incoming message from her handler.

HANDLER: IMPERATIVE DATA?

ANGELIKA: YES. SUBJECT MENTIONED THE PACKAGES TO BE IN TUNISIA, AS SUSPECTED. TUNISIAN GOVERNMENT NOT TO BE A FACTOR SINCE DEPOSITORY IS GUARDED BY HIRED MERCENARY GROUP. NUMBER UNKNOWN.

HANDLER: NUMBER NOT A FACTOR HERE. OUR ASSOCIATE WILL BE IN FULL CONTROL OF HANDLING THE TANGOS AND THE OPERATION.

. . . System Waiting . . .

HANDLER: NEXT COMMUNICATION WITH SUBJECT?

ANGELIKA: TOMORROW NIGHT . . . AT SEVEN.

HANDLER: COMPLETE THE MISSION. MAKE THIS MEETING YOUR FINAL ACT. THEN RETURN TO BASE.

ANGELIKA: COPY.

HANDLER: OUT.

Angelika closed down the tablet, and as per protocol wiped the files clean. Returning the Ismarsat BGAN tablet to the safe, Angelika returned to the living area and took her seat by the window. She had an extensive and stunning view of Zurich with lakes in the background and an area where she could visibly see herself setting roots. Come tomorrow night, however, she would leave for a safer haven and end this charade by shedding her second skin. And she would do so with a final killing stroke of Abesh Faruk.

Inside the nightstand that was to her left was a High Standard HDM automatic pistol.
