I was thankful for the headscarf Kashani had given me. It allowed me to slip quietly behind a group of gossiping women on their way to the market without arousing suspicion.

Once inside the hustle of the market, I moved off on my own. Finding my contact was priority number one. Surely that police officer had called for reinforcements. Worse, Demir’s men could also be on the way.

I didn’t want to stray too far from the car park. According to Kashani, my second driver would also be observing a forty-minute pick-up window. If I didn’t arrive during that time, he would leave. Had I missed him? I remembered Ismet pointing at his watch, indicating we were on time. Kashani’s driver was late.

From where I stood, next to a vendor selling handcrafted silverware, I had a clear eye line to the police officer. He didn’t look like he was associated with the Askeri Inzibat, the military police that Kashani had warned me of. He was probably a local village guard who had been notified of an escapee from Diyarbakir prison. He couldn’t have been older than twenty-two. Inexperienced.

I watched him search the truck before turning his attention back on the two goat herders. He had his weapon pointed at them. While I couldn’t hear what they were saying, it didn’t look favorable. And then as I suspected would happen, Ismet’s mouth began moving rapidly, along with his hands and arms, as they told what appeared to be the story of how I had killed those men at the checkpoint. At least that’s what it looked like to me. Ismet then pointed at the market, and I stepped back into the crowd.

The market itself was made up of four rows of vendors, each about fifty yards long. There were quite a few shoppers strolling the lanes, so remaining hidden wouldn’t be the problem. However, there was concern. If more police arrived and surrounded the market, I could easily become trapped within.

I decided to move down the lane to the southern end of the car park and wait it out. If need be, I could use another lane and loop back to the northern end. I had four lanes at my disposal. I had to hope Kashani’s guy would appear before I ran out of lanes.

I spotted a young boy with oversized sunglasses strolling toward me. A minute later, he was ten euros richer and I had better coverage for my face. No sooner had we completed our transaction than three police cars arrived in the car park. The officer who’d searched the truck quickly greeted them, and within seconds, they had fanned out into the market.

The officers were approaching my lane from both ends. I slipped between two vendor tents into the second lane and made my way north. Through the pockets of stalls, I spotted an officer making his way through the first lane. He was talking to various shop owners as he moved forward. One of them, a woman selling handbags nodded and pointed south.
