In the centre of San Fernando, near the main square, we lost the moped when we had to stop because of an endlessly long, enervatingly slow funeral procession. And since it never rains but it pours, our rented car broke down on the way back to the capital. We had a lot of trouble finding a repair shop. We were towed back to Buenos Aires and parked the car near the rental company. Next morning it turned out to be highly complicated to obtain a new car.

I was deliberating: under the given circumstances I was still not sure about the identity of the pillion passenger. He looked like 'Dito' but Juan was reluctant to commit himself. The fact that both men had driven to San Fernando on the moped spoke in favour of it being him. However, why had he been on the pillion and not driven his own moped himself? Question upon question. We would need to have another go.

With Yossef's help, I organised three observation teams for 9 March. Since it had rained all day, I feared 'Dito' might have left his moped at home and taken a bus. Therefore I stationed one of Yossef's people together with his 'girl-friend' on the corner of Chacabuco Street not far from the workshop, without a car. Their assignment was, if necessary, to take the same bus as 'Dito'.

I waited in Sarmiento Street in my new rented car as before. Juan, together with another local boy and his moped, were stationed on the market square in San Fernando where we had lost our target the evening before. When I had been unable to discover the moped we were looking for by six o'clock, I drove to San Fernando in the hope that Juan might have seen the target coming from a different direction. But the two boys had to pass as well. We gave up the search and drove back to Buenos Aires.

Next morning I met the young man who had waited together with his 'girl-friend' for 'Dito' near his place of work. He reported that a blond boy who fitted Juan's description had come out of the workshop and boarded a bus on the comer of Parana and Monteagudo. Our helper and his companion followed him. All three left the bus near the Martinez station. The target did not take the train to San Fernando at this point, but turned left into a sidestreet. The young couple, following my instructions, gave up the tail and went home.

On the afternoon of 10 March, we were more lucky. We were again waiting for our target at three different places. Juan was again on the main square in San Fernando, I was in my car on the corner of Monteagudo together with a young Israeli girl who had been living in Buenos Aires for several years. From experience gained in many similar cases, we knew that a parked car attracts less attention if at least one of the passengers is a woman.
