It would have been dangerous to drive very fast, since many traps lay beneath the shifting sands,<br />
so hours were spent driving through the tunnel created by the truck's headlights while waiting<br />
for the Eurocopter EC 135 to roar overhead. But nothing happened, and thanks to their<br />
early-morning departure–likely coupled with Al-Sharr's apparent unwillingness to pursue them<br />
during the hours of darkness–47, Gazeau, and Numo were able to make good progress. When<br />
the sun rose they were on a flat piste, or track, traveling at about 30 mph, as they followed the<br />
road toward a clutch of basalt towers that were the only things worth looking at.<br />
Distances could be and often were deceptive, which meant that even though the rocky spires<br />
appeared to be relatively close, they were actually many miles away.<br />
The better part of half an hour passed before the outcroppings grew appreciably larger, and the<br />
track swung out to the west of them. That was when something appeared in the sky, circled<br />
behind the rock columns, and emerged to race straight at them. The EC 135 was no more than<br />
fifty feet off the deck and growing larger with each passing second.<br />
“There it is!” Gazeau said grimly. “It looks like the fat bastard finally rolled out of bed.”<br />
Agent 47 tried to watch as the helicopter passed over them, but the cab's roof blocked his view.<br />
His mind went to the weapons stashed in the back, but he knew that neither one of the long<br />
guns would be very effective against the chopper.<br />
Then, having turned back, the Eurocopter pulled up next to the left side of the truck and sped<br />
along, not 60 feet away from the driver's-side window. Dust blew backward and boiled into the<br />
air. Sous-Prefet Al-Sharr was clearly visible beyond the Plexiglas, and gestured for Gazeau to<br />
stop. The Libyan offered a rude gesture by way of a reply, which caused the chopper to pull<br />
ahead and enter a wide turn.<br />
“Uh-oh,” Gazeau said. “How much do you want to bet Al-Sharr brought one of his cops<br />
along?”<br />
Agent 47 never had an opportunity to reply as the helicopter passed along the truck's right side<br />
and a man opened fire with an AK-47. It took practice to fire an automatic weapon from a<br />
moving platform, especially when shooting at a speeding target. And it soon became apparent<br />
that the policeman knew what he was doing.<br />
The assassin heard a series of pings as half a dozen 7.62 mm slugs hit the Mog. Then the EC<br />
135 was gone, giving the gunner time to slam a fresh thirty-round magazine into the weapon's<br />
receiver, and prepare for the next pass. Agent 47 was thrown against his shoulder restraint as<br />
Gazeau hit the brakes.<br />
“What the hell are you doing?” he demanded. “They'll shoot the hell out of us!”<br />
“No they won't,” the Libyan replied. “They expect us to stop.”<br />
Agent 47 heard a familiar clacking sound and turned to discover that Numo had assembled an<br />
AK-47 of his own. The Libyan grinned as the Mog skidded to a halt. First the rifle…now this. It
