“Watch your back,” 47 responded. “Especially on the way out. Marla's on the loose. And she's<br />

armed.”<br />

“Thanks for the warning,” the Libyan said, as he hooked a pair of aviator-style sunglasses over<br />

his ears. “Maybe I can buy her off with the Land Rover. Unless you object, that is.”<br />

“No,” 47 replied, “That's entirely up to you.”<br />

Then, with a wave to Numo, the assassin mounted the stairs.<br />

No rifle shots were heard, but Gazeau saw a glint of reflected light coming from the direction of<br />

the water tower, as if someone were eyeing the airstrip through a pair of binoculars. With that<br />

possibility in mind, he went around to open the driver's-side door, removed the keys from the<br />

Land Rover's ignition, and held them up where they were plain to see.<br />

Then, having given the woman plenty of time to look, he slid the key ring down onto the<br />

vehicle's antenna.<br />

The C-27 had taxied away by then, leaving a miniature dust storm in its wake, as it made the<br />

turn onto the runway. The General Electric T64-P4D engines roared as its pilot advanced both<br />

throttles, the transport jerked forward, and quickly gained speed.<br />

The plane took to the air a few seconds later.<br />

NEAR NOTO, SICILY<br />

The airstrip dated back to the days of World War II, when German planes had used it as a place<br />

to refuel before taking off for North Africa. And later, when things began to go poorly for<br />

Rommel, a squadron of fighters had been stationed there so they could attack allied shipping in<br />

the Mediterranean.<br />

But those days were long over, and the field was primarily dedicated to civilian aviation, plus<br />

the occasional emergency landing by commercial jets.<br />

As the sun was beginning to set, a lonely figure stood in front of the tiny terminal building and<br />

stared toward the south. Though not Agent 47's friend in the conventional sense of the word,<br />

Father Vittorio was his spiritual adviser, to the extent that the assassin needed one. The<br />

operative believed he was headed for hell, and given all 47 had done, that was certainly possible.<br />

But God never gives up, nor can I, the priest told himself. Because there is a kernel of goodness<br />

buried deep within 47's soul, even if he isn't aware of it.<br />

And there was evidence to support the priest's hypothesis. The assassin had once taken shelter<br />

at Vittorio's church, where he worked as the gardener in an attempt to put his violent life behind<br />

him. But men with 47's skills were hard to come by, and it wasn't long before the past caught up<br />

with the assassin, forcing him to take up arms once again. Those had been bloody days, in a land<br />

already soaked with blood, and it was something of a miracle that both Vittorio and his former<br />

gardener were still alive.
