“Yes, and also why they left,” she giggled.There was no place to pitch the tent on the side of the tower so I secured us to a ledge to sleep, feel...ing a touch of cold permeating the humidity for the first time since our arrival. We spent an uncomfortable night, though it was a joint dream that kept us more disturbed than anything else.I felt the years falling away as I gazed upon a mighty city, beautiful arches, delicate curves, aesthetically pleasing, yet functional too. Everywhere I looked I. Atkins had sat up straighter and looked prouder. Henry said, “Look at him. He’s so proud.”Not knowing which man to whom Henry was referring, Jerry replied, “Martin is so proud of himself that he’s about to burst, and Mr. Atkins looks real dignified sitting behind the wheel.”Henry laughed and said, “Sorry about Mr. Atkins. He doesn’t care much for whites.”“No problem,” replied Jerry. He grinned and said, “I’d rather be disliked because I’m white than because of my size.”The comment caused Henry. The others were simply "stringers" stuck together for the duration of the operation and in no way resembled what one could call a team. The underlying consideration was the fact that the ongoing operation was under competing leadership and both he and his people had to be sharp enough to avoid not only the constituted personnel of the long-range planned operation but the elements of the Whitehall security team as well. He had good cover being dormant for so long but some of the stringers might. We shake hands, “It’s good to finally meet you Mick”.“How about we get in the car and out of here first, before we get booked by the leeches round here”. “Sounds like a plan”. “And we’ll get the luggage out of your hands Jonah”, Elizabeth says with a smile, and assists me putting them into the boot of the car.“Thanks Elizabeth”, I can’t help responding with a warm smile, already taking an a liking to her. I’m surprised the drive to Elizabeth and Mick’s home is under 20 minutes, being used to.
