guess who and now we have a good idea where.”

“Yes, but we have to be able to pinpoint where this meeting is to take place within a few meters and that's going to be impossible.” Said his companion. “I think we should break into his house tonight and abduct him. We can take him to a safe house and interrogate him using the electrodes.”

“And if we don't get it and he dies in the process, what happens then? Do we dump him in the Hudson and then have to start all over again? The Americans would be all over our asses. We have to work with them if we want to keep operating here. Even after 9/11, they still think these murdering 'Momzarim' (bastards) have rights. They think they can afford to. Their country is big, powerful and removed from the daily need to protect their families. Even though 9/11 was the most vicious and costly attack ever carried out against them, most Americans by this time have forgotten about it. They have such short memories. They can and have, for the most part, dug holes in the ground and buried their heads. They just cannot visualize the results of loosing this or any war, nor do they want to admit that this is total war. It is their inability to come to grips with the realities of total war and their unwillingness to give up one ounce of personal comfort that will defeat them in the end.

He listened for a while and then replaced the receiver. “We may have a break. The boss just called. She is coming over to see Jid. She has some work for 'Jid' (Grandfather).”

Later that night, after dropping Ibrahim's mother at the hotel, Joseph took Ibrahim uptown to Dina's apartment and after making sure that she had come home from work he called Rich and told him he was coming over. “I thought I should call and let you know before I show up this time.” He told him. “I don't want to take the chance of running into one of your many boyfriends, if I can help it.”

“No chance of that love. I've been working too hard for that. We just finished our final casting call and we have our first rehearsal set for next week. It went well today, but I'm so sorry I missed the bazaar.” Richard said, “Dad and Mom told me all about it and the fine time you all had. I was really hoping to make it, if for no other reason than to have been able to see and dance with you. Dad told me how fantastic you were. I hope you realize that it was not my intention to hurt you or Fazzi by not showing up.”

“No problem. Fazzi really appreciated your call. He was like a small kid. All day after your call,
