I was pretty sure it would be two or three weeks before my nuts felt safe enough to climb down out of my chest cavity. I had to control myself from collapsing against the wall. There was a moment’s silence on the other end and then both sights vanished.

“These laser sights going to be on me the whole time? It’s a lousy fashion statement and people will talk.” If you are smarter than you appear, then you’ll understand why in a few minutes.” “Tell me something, miss, why go to these lengths? This could have been arranged with a lot less drama.” “No,” she said with another little laugh, “you would not.” “Then,” she said, “you will do whatever you judge best.” You are supposed to be resourceful, so I imagine you will solve that problem without my advice.” You are on your own to find a new battery. Once he has left, you will wait another ten minutes before you reassemble your phone. The two of you will have a conversation and then he will leave. She said, “In a few minutes a person will enter the cafe. Her resistance to my wit was almost as disconcerting as the laser sights on my junk. “Do you work for Starbox? If so, I can’t say I dig your new marketing strategy.” Ahmadinejad is insisting that the dramatics at the prison last night were the result of a boiler explosion. Write no notes to the staff or other customers. Walk to the curb and drop the battery into the culvert.

Put the SIM card and phone into different pockets. As soon as I am done speaking you will turn off your cell phone and remove the battery and the SIM card. “No, Captain Ledger,” she said, “here’s how it’s going to work. “So, who gets to slap the cuffs on me?” I asked. So the president asked Church to make the problem go away. Everyone with a spoonful of brains knew that the Iranians staged the whole thing to be able to turn dials on Senator McHale.Īnd it was starting to work. The real twist is that the senator was a key player on several committees crucial to the U.S. Normally we’d let the State Department and world opinion exert pressure on the Iranian government… but the third member of the hiking party was the only son of one of America’s most important senators. The hikers had been used as pawns in Iran’s ongoing policy of stalling and disinformation regarding their nuclear program. One was a former Peace Corps team leader who was there with his animal behaviorist girlfriend who wanted to take photos of a kind of rare tiger to help her with her master’s thesis. An Iranian patrol crossed the border, nabbed the hikers, and started making noise in the media that the three hikers had illegally trespassed and therefore they were spies. Echo Team and I went into a high-security facility and liberated three twentysomethings who had been arrested a year ago while hiking in the mountains. Up till now I thought she was part of a team looking to take me down for the little bit of nastiness I got into last night. “Joseph Edwin Ledger.” No screwing around this time. One of the laser sights drifted down from my chest and settled on my crotch. Was she the spotter? If not, there could have been one or two others, spotting for the gunmen. Not the weirdest thing going on at the moment. “If this was simply a matter of killing you,” she said, “then we’d have done it and taken your wallet for identification.” She had a European accent but she was hiding it by trying to speak Persian like a native. The two little laser sights gave me no chance at all to run. The joke didn’t translate well but she made a sound. “Geez, sister,” I said, “if this is how you ID your targets then I don’t think you’re going to get that contract killer merit badge.” She had a very sexy voice for a psycho killer. “I need you to confirm your name,” she said in Persian. I was also pretty sure I knew why they were after me. Didn’t really matter, the range was a hundred yards and even a sloppy marksman could punch my ticket at that distance. The shooters had to be in the building across the street, maybe the fifth floor. Ten seconds ago I was about to go into Starbox-yes, they really call it that in Iran-for a cup of bold and a couple of pastries. Didn’t know anything except that she had my cell number. “You are one second away from death,” said the caller. Two red dots, quivering slightly, danced right over my heart. I held the cell phone to my ear as I bent my head. Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
