CHAPTER 28

Yossi Gadot did not take his usual route back home. He had left the office early and headed south on the coastal highway toward Tel Aviv. Near the Hadera power station he exited and drove to Caesarea. He parked at the entrance to the old city and walked along the stone footpath among the ancient ruins and historic columns that marked streets and markets of ancient days. An archeological gem, he marveled, noting that he should bring the kids.

It was turning dark when he reached the old port of Caesarea and took a seat by the waterline at the Crusaders restaurant. He had been there only once before with company guests. The place was ideally situated, slightly elevated above the old port and had an excellent reputation for its fresh fish and seafood.

He looked out at the water as the last rays of sun blended in with obscured light sources that kept the port area softly illuminated. Most of the old Caesarea port was under water, but the outline of what was once a sizable port was easily traceable.

A tall, skinny waiter brought him his beer and he sat back enjoying the ambience.

Sarah showed up ten minutes later.

They went about the usual small talk. He ordered salmon, she just a salad.

She seemed a little different, he thought. A touch of makeup and a tight black turtleneck shirt, showing off her slender upper body, combined with the unique background in which they sat, made her look remarkably attractive.

He complimented her, figuring he was allowed, she being just about half his age. She blushed and blamed it on a previous interview she had before coming to meet him.

"Any word from Mikki?" he asked.

"He called last night, just back in LA from following Glass to Washington and New York. Said they’d discovered a major defense company and a heavy duty Wall Street personality involved in some super-secret project that also involves Glass. They also found that Glass's company was on the brink of bankruptcy some five years ago. Mikki thinks this project saved the company and that Glass may have been forced to take some extreme measures to secure it."

"Five years ago, you say?" Yossi remarked thoughtfully. "Let's see, the company gets into trouble; to save their ass they get involved in a questionable project, which causes the Israeli Mossad to apply some serious heat… what would you have done in their place?"

"Why, that's obvious," Sarah said facetiously, "I'd have my daughter kidnapped."

"Seriously, Sarah," Yossi said, smiling at her mockery.

"I'm serious," she insisted, back to her normal voice. "I'd have her kidnapped in Israel, making it look like a Mossad job."

"Then what?" Yossi pressed on.

"Then I'd threaten the Israelis to get off my back or I blow the story."

Yossi nodded approvingly. "The last thing the Mossad needs is to be found meddling in American business."

"But neither side seemed very eager to pursue the matter," Sarah insisted, crossed at the indifference of it all.

"Then the threat certainly worked," Yossi commented. "For the Mossad
