Chapter 16

JOHN LOOKED AT TARIQ Ali.

He and Carson had moved the young Palestinian to a room in the tactical building. This was where they would keep him until further notice. Not an ideal option, but it was the best they could do with such short notice.

John had spent nearly thirty minutes in the building, just trying to get some feeling of the young man they’d captured. Anything at all—anything that might tell him what to do next.

He felt nothing.

John stared at Tariq through a metal grating welded in place in the door frame, guarding what now served as a makeshift prison cell. Tariq sat on a chair, saying nothing. John put a hand on the grating and looked at the other man, trying to study his face. For the first time since he’d stepped into the building he could feel something—Tariq was holding something back.

“You said something about the others. What others?” John asked, hoping for some kind of visceral response, some kind of giveaway that he could feel.

Tariq looked away, and John felt a surge of emotion coming from the man—he was definitely hiding something.

“Is something else going to happen? Is there another attack being planned?”

No reply.

After twenty minutes of getting nowhere, John sighed and walked away. Time for a shower. And supper.
