*****

That evening Lovelle sat in his hotel trying to psyche himself up for the task he was about to undertake. Up to that point he had really failed to take stock of his situation, and he felt the first real reservations about what he was doing. If things went as he was hoping, he would not only be staking out an anti-American fundamentalist mosque, but, he would be in immediate jeopardy of coming into direct contact with people who would soon crash airliners into the World Trade Center. That is, if he didn’t stop them.

These were not people who would take kindly to being watched, especially by a nosy American. He didn’t imagine that Atta and his core group would hesitate to do him in if they had any idea of what he was up to. Even the fundamentalists who knew nothing of the plot could hardly be expected to take his interest in their activities as benign. If Al-Quds, or any other mosque he would be observing, were in fact the mosque he was looking for, he would be placing himself in some measure of danger as soon as he started watching them. It wasn’t something he had fully considered before now.

Lovelle found sleep to be rather elusive that night. He tossed and turned through the night, only falling asleep a couple of hours before the time he had intended to get up. When his alarm attempted to rouse him he hit the snooze button several times, finally relenting half an hour later. He was afflicted with a giant knot in his stomach and was in no great rush to get on with the task at hand.

For breakfast he forced down a pastry and a glass of juice, and then set out for the day. He had been driving around in a rented Cargo van, which would provide him with cover should he be fortunate enough to find a place to park within eye shot of the mosque’s entrance. The inside was equipped with a cooler and a lawn chair in the hopes of finding such a locale. If nothing else, it would provide him with a good base of operations. He stopped at a market and picked up some food and ice then proceeded to look for the mosque.

As it turned out there was a perfect place to plant himself. The mosque was located at the convergence of two roads which ran diagonal to each other. At the point where the streets met, there was a small parking lot whose spaces ran almost parallel to the street where the mosque sat. This allowed Lovelle to park so that the rear window offered him an almost perfect view of the mosque’s entrance.

He planted himself in that prime location and began his vigil. He had no real notion of how long he might stake out this particular location if Atta didn’t show. He had a very strong feeling that this was the place. He could be a very patient person and he had little inkling of how often Atta would be attending mosque, or at what times of day.
