Daniel rolled on the ground to avoid the next blow.

Thank God he’s drunk, Daniel thought to himself. It gave Daniel the physical edge he needed.

The man thrust his rifle into the ground one more time, and Daniel not only dodged it but also swung his leg around and sent the man crumbling to the ground.

Daniel spotted his Glock lying in the alley, several feet from the first man he had leveled.

He lunged for his gun, and as he went towards it, he saw the woman going away in the alley as fast as possible without running.

She’s going to be gone soon, Daniel thought to himself.

Daniel grabbed his Glock, solidly this time, rose to his knee and aimed it at the man. He intended to put two shots in the man’s chest.

But the man stumbled over his friend who was moaning on the ground and didn’t try to use his gun. Daniel guessed the attacker must not have had ammunition and recognized he was outmatched.

Daniel hesitated, and the man hurried away down the street.

The other two men would also live, but they would have headaches when they came around.

Daniel turned down the alley and saw the silhouette of the woman at the far end. He tucked his gun away and hurried towards her, faltering from the fight he’d just endured.

She looked back. She moved to go down the street.

If Daniel lost her now, he couldn’t risk chasing her down in the city. It would completely blow her cover. But if he did nothing, then he had no hope of finding Qaqramon and the nuke.

Daniel took a risk and yelled, “Come back!”

He realized he yelled it instinctively in Uzbek first. He repeated himself, but in Dari the second time.

The woman paused.

Daniel went towards the door the woman had exited shortly beforehand and prayed she would trust him.

As he approached the door, the woman took one slow step back into the alley towards Daniel. Then she took several more.

Daniel entered the door and waited in the back storeroom of the cafe for the source, the only lead he had on Qaqramon.
