Security Chief Walter Moon dismissed the EMTs with a nod, and as they gathered up their equipment and went for the gurney, he gently pulled Leon away from Carpathia. “Don't drape the body,” he said. “Let's load 'im up now. Say nothing about his condition until we're back home.” “Who did this, Walter?” Fortunato whined. “Did we catch him?” Moon shrugged and shook his head. Buck ran toward the hostel. He dialed Chaim's number again, as he had all along the way. Still busy. The people in Chaim's house-Stefan the valet, Jacov's wife, Hannelore, and Hannelore's mother-had to have been watching on TV and were likely calling anyone they knew for news of their loved ones. Finally, Hannelore answered. “Jacov!” she shouted. “No, Hannelore, this is Greg North.” “Buck!” she wailed. “What happened? Where—” “Hannelore!” Buck said. “Your phone is not secure!” “I don't care anymore, Buck! If we die, we die! Where is Jacov? What happened to Chaim?” “I need to meet you somewhere, Hannelore. If Chaim shows up there—” “Chaim is all right?” “I don't know. I didn't see him after—” “Did you see Jacov?” “Meet me, Hannelore. Call me from another phone and—” “Buck, you tell me right now! Did you see him?” “I saw him.” “Is he alive?” “Buck, is he dead?” “I'm sorry. Yes.” She began to wail, and in the background Buck heard a scream. Hannelore's mother? Had she deduced the news? “Buck, they're here!” “What? Who?” He heard a door smashing, a yell, another scream. “GC!” she whispered fiercely. And the phone went dead. Onboard the Phoenix 216, Nicolae Carpathia's personal physician examined him and pronounced him dead. “Where were you?” Leon demanded. “You could have done something.” “Where I was supposed to be, Commander,” the doctor said, “in the auxiliary trailer a hundred yards behind the platform. Security would not let me out, fearing more gunfire.” As the 216 taxied toward the runway, Leon came to the cockpit and told Abdullah, “Patch me through to Director Hassid at the palace, secure line.” Abdullah nodded and glanced at Mac as Fortunate backed out. The first officer made the connection and informed Leon over the intercom. With creative switch flipping, Abdullah allowed Mac to listen in, while muting the input button to keep out noise from the cockpit. |
