The faintest light of predawn broke through a small barred window near the ceiling of the room. Moustafa blinked his eyes, hoping to shut out the nightmare, but this was real. He was sitting in the same dingy basement where he had spent five weeks with Anne-Marie last fall. He wanted to cry out, but the sob stayed in his throat, held in place by the thick handkerchief secured in his mouth.

David Hoffmann lay stretched out uncomfortably on the floor nearby. Moustafa watched him intently. Yes, he was breathing. Relief flooded through him. Together there was hope.

He rolled over awkwardly and caught his breath. They were not alone. An older man, unshaven and wearing a white T-shirt and suit pants, slept, his head resting against the cement wall. His hands and feet were bound, as were Moustafa’s and David’s.

Somehow Ali had caught up with them. How? Moustafa knew the answer immediately. Fatima. The girl had not shown up for the boat. She was the only other person who knew where the meeting was to take place. And if Fatima had led Ali to them, then what about Hussein?

He swallowed hard. Now it all made sense. Hussein showing up, begging, leaving in the trunk and then abandoning it at the port.

He couldn’t speak. He couldn’t move. Moustafa lay flat on his stomach and felt his tears form a small wet patch on the ripping mattress. A low moan echoed in his soul.

Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie.
