Clay looked up at Rania and Hussein. They sat watching him, their faces grave, expectant, as if waiting for some reaction, a rebuttal. He looked down at the paper again, re-read the article, slowly this time, deliberately, marvelling at the power of words to distort, to subvert truth, to try and convict. He slammed the paper down onto the table. ‘You wrote this?’

Rania sat implacable.

Hussein shrugged and got to his feet. ‘They’re scared.’

Clay could feel the fury boiling in his chest, black, pure. ‘You think so?’ He looked at Rania. ‘Jesus Christ, Rania. You said you would help me.’

Hussein strode to the door, turned to face them. ‘Be ready to leave at sunrise,’ he said. ‘Bring everything. We are not coming back here.’

‘You’re leaving?’ said Rania.

‘I have business in town. Don’t leave the apartment. You’re safe here. I’ll see you in the morning, inshallah.’ And then he was gone.
