In the rocky hills 20 miles northeast of Buraida, Saif pulled his kerchief tighter over his face against the windblown sand and dirt. He could taste it, feel the red earth’s gritty texture in his mouth. He watched his men struggle against the wind to set up the camouflage screen on poles above the tents of their camp. The camp was a half mile from the paved highway, and a few hundred yards from the dirt side road, down the slope and around the corner under a rocky promontory. Out of sight except from the air, and in another 30 minutes the 40 x 60 foot main tent, a half dozen smaller tents and their dozens of SUVs would be concealed from aircraft or satellite cameras by the camouflage screen as well.

He wanted to help them wrestle with the poles, ropes and spikes, but he decided that might undermine their perception of his command. There were times when he could make a statement by pitching in, but this wasn’t one of them. So he watched, occasionally leaning this way or that in sympathy as they tugged and struggled. His disposable cell phone rang.

“Yes?”

“We know where Fahd is.”

“Get him and bring him to me,” Saif said and hung up. He both dreaded and welcomed the news. Fahd was in his early 30s, the prime of life, with a wife and two children. An otherwise good man, a loyal follower, quiet and barely noticed, who had now distinguished himself as a coward, deserting his surveillance post outside Qahtani’s mosque at the time the Secret Police had arrived. He’d fled, apparently in panic, with no warning message, and failed to report with his weapon to the safe house. It was unforgivable, and Fahd must be used as an example, even though it pained Saif.
