THE SECOND MOUSE: BLAZE THE INHERITANCE OF FIRE

THE NOVEL

Chapter 9

Someone had trod a path in the accumulated layers of dust in the courtyard of your house; the footprints started from the gate and disappeared behind the inner door leading to the living room. You then also spotted a separate trail returning from the inside out. It troubled you. They certainly weren’t yours or Fahd’s from the day you had searched for your passport, which was now over two months ago. You almost entered your own house, crossing the courtyard, but failed to—fearful that a stranger was lying in wait for you, coupled with your obedience to Khal Hassan’s warning not to go in.

’Am Saleh waited in his house for you to return with the bike. You handed it over to him, your head swimming with questions about the footprints you had just seen. ’Am Saleh took off on your bike in search of ’Am Abbas at the Surra police station, where the occupying forces were camped out, and was yet to return. The last image you had of him was of his head down, avoiding his mother’s looks, with the edges of his dishdasha wrapped around his waist as he rode off, teetering like a child. The last sound from him had been the words “Where’s your bike?”
