Chapter 5The one Tanya used to call her prince-in-disguise, Khalid Saif Al-Fadir was writing an email to his uncle, Prince Abdullah Saif Al-Fadir of Saudi Arabia, sitting in front of his laptop in his apartment at the Hotel de Crillon.
Dear Uncle,
While hoping your journey home was a pleasant one, I wish for this message to find you in good health and spirit.
Since our parting in Washington and my return to Paris, several questions have been roaming my mind. I list them below and perhaps we could find some of their answers together, if your schedule allows you the time to do so.
Why were they sent back to Australia?
Is that where the puppeteer is?
Does Mossad know where he is?
What happened to the computer found at the CIA during Mr. Sadir’s trial?
Was there more on its hard drive than the CIA led everyone to believe?
Was the puppeteer a CIA member and perhaps a counter-intelligence agent?
The puppeteer has to be a known entity – but whom?
Khalid closed the message with the usual greetings and sent it. He knew these questions could take weeks and even months before they found their answers. All he could do at this point was to recall the events that occurred over the past few years and see if one of the people would stand out among the rest as one with unclear background or perhaps shadows masking his appearance.
