CHAPTER 1

1 month later…Amman

"Hashi don't run off" Feris yelled following behind the energetic young boy. He was like a puppy sometimes jumping around never staying in one place.

'Ed is still trying to convince me to take up that office, but he can go screw himself if I wasn't for him I wouldn't had lost two fingers…and Hani also' she sighed as she sat down next to Hashi.

She spaced out enjoying the sounds and sights around her until she felt a tug "hmm?" She looked to Hashi "What is it honey?"

"I'm hungry" he whined tugging her along, she laughed nodding.

Until the familiar sound of Black BMWs pulling up behind her and her old friend, Marwan in the nice black suite and dark glasses stood in front of her telling her Hani wished to speak to her 'more like wants'. She gave him a reminiscent smile as Hashi followed her, Marwan glared at the child.

"Come Hashi this man's going to get you something to ear while I'm having a meeting" he looked curious but doubtful of her words "Free car ride" that got him he jumped in the car in front of her. Tall dark and scary told him not to put his feet on the seats.

'Look Andy Garcia' she left like saying as he talked to a group of men who were leaving the conference room as she entered. She wasn't in the mood to see him after having two of her fingers smashed off with a ball peen hammer. She looked around the conference room there was a white file on a chair with papers and pictures sticking out "hmm?"

She looked quickly at Hani and the men they seemed to not be aware of her presence she opened the file and was disturbed to find pictures of her in her gym cloths, a picture of her with Hashi, and print outs of her medical records going back to when she was 19. She felt her stomach bottom out primal fear started to take over 'I have to calm down its nothing, maybe it's to…fuck I don't know'.

She put everything back the way it was and retreated to a chair and waited for Hani to finish up.

As Hani approached he didn't reach out his hand 'figures I'm still sore about losing two fingers' but that same intense burning feeling in her chest returned. Making it hard to breath she could feel her face starting to twitch.

"I glad you are doing well, my dear" he said in his charming accent 'still as charismatic as ever' he motioned for her to set down.

"What do you want Hani" she sighed looking at him covering the left side of her face the twitch wouldn't just go away if she tried to.

"I've been wondering to myself why haven't you left for America yet" he leaned back in his chair his thumb and middle finger propping his chin up.

"I love the Middle East to much leave it now" she smiled answering in Arabic "where did your agent take Hashi?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest in a defensive matter, but realized who he was again and held herself in a more respectful manner.

"He's safe I assure you, my dear" he took a sip of coffee "So was I right you really are a secret Arab" he smiled as he elegantly set down his cup.

She shrugged "You need me to do something dangerous" she eyed him as he was about to answer "I know in Jordan friendship matters and I'll do the job…but doing it for free isn't a luxury I can't afford" she pointed out forgetting he knows that she left Hoffman's company and now was doing anything she could to catch terrorist while staying low key and away from Hoffman.

Hani took the file that was in the seat next to him her eyes followed it "Anything for me?"

"No this is for my own curiosity, my dear nothing to do with our current situation" he placed the file of her in a nice suite case and pulled another one out.

He handed her a file "Their safe house it is a home for widows with children whose husbands were killed but they are from all over the Middle East so it is hard to find how the husbands died."

She sighed flipping through the files "So what's my cover…I mean story" looking back to Hani who was looking at her with incredible intensity.

"What?" she accidently squeaked feeling on edge with his eyes burrowing into her skull.
