Half an hour later my sat phone trilled, my face soon green. ‘Wilco.’

‘It’s Rocko. We’re beyond a mile I reckon, heard what Mahoney said on the radio just about. There’s a village and a camp, trucks, soldiers, towers with guards.’

‘Towers with guards? That’s ... odd. How close are you?’

‘Six hundred yards to the edge of the village, another two hundred yards to the camp.’

‘What’s the terrain like?’

‘Where we are is tight jungle, but there’s lots of tracks good enough for a jeep or truck, lots of fallen trees on the sides of the tracks.’

‘Seen any movement?’

‘Was a small tin shack with a light on, south, fuck all else.’

‘Any high ground?’

‘Left, west of us, but not that high, but there’s trees all over it.’

‘I’m going to send Moran to you, he’s south, get a good OP before dawn, no risks. I’m taking the rest around to the north of that camp.’

‘OK, moving now. Don’t leave our flysheets, eh!’

I called Moran, and dispatched him north towards Rocko’s position, and broke camp, informing Liban of what we had discovered. Flysheets down, we now had extra flysheets to carry, and Rocko and Moran were short of some rain shelters.

As we moved off north, along the tree line, I said, ‘I don’t like those guard towers.’

‘Well organised gang?’ Swifty asked.

‘No, more like a rebel faction, at war with the president in Monrovia, leftover from the last war. There are plenty of them around here.’

‘Are they likely to have our hostages?’ Swifty asked.

‘Doubt it, but they may be into dodgy dealings. And the hostages were moved south to here, or are being moved, so they may not be around here yet.’

‘Those rebels a threat to Sierra Leone?’ Mahoney asked as we plodded through the mud.

‘No, they’re more likely to side with Sierra Leone against the idiot in Monrovia – as far as loyalties go around here.’

‘We saw an organised force inside Liberia,’ Mahoney reminded me.

‘Yeah, but they were the president’s men, paid a wage. These fuckers are not being paid, unless by a warlord.’

‘Hence hostages and ransoms,’ Mahoney quipped. ‘As well as blood diamonds.’
