CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

They returned to their tent, and explained all that had happened to the entire team with help of the sat-phone. It was getting on for lunchtime now on the middle day of the last bazaar, and the morning’s shower was descending in full force. Still, the security that surrounded them was first class and the attendance was high, which in itself provided many more capable enemies. Drake listened to the chatter, then nodded in approval as Kinimaka proposed a quick trip to buy some food.

“I’ll go with you,” Alicia said. “Get my shower for the day.”

Drake attacked what they brought back with gusto. Sausages, bacon and beans went down well at any time of the day and in any corner of the world. He listened to Kinimaka rave for a while about the choices on offer before being brought back to reality by Hayden’s tone.

“And where did Webb go?”

Drake ate slowly. “Haven’t caught up with him again yet.”

“Ramses?”

“Ditto.”

“There are too many players,” Dahl said. “What we need is to herd them all into one area.”

“Ain’t the bazaar an area?” Hayden drawled.

“Shit, not exactly. And it’s crawling with hostiles. You should see this place, Hay.” Kinimaka nibbled at a slice of bacon as he talked.

“Well, I see you guys’re running out of time. People are already leaving. We can’t follow all of them once they float or fly away so make a plan. And let’s do this.”

“She’s right,” Drake said. “Time is running out. We don’t want to be choosing between the Crown Prince of Terror, the leader of the Pythians and the treacherous American official now, do we? We want all of them, trussed, boxed, bagged and tagged. It’s time to make a play.”

“All right,” Alicia mumbled, her mouth full. “Soon as I’ve finished this bloody lovely bacon and brie sandwich I’ll go save the world, but not a moment before.”
