Having determined the places where Thorakis was most likely to be found, the assassin's next<br />

step was to zero in on the shipping magnate's current location. It had begun to seem hopeless,<br />

until the agent discovered that there were weekly papers that made it their business to keep<br />

track of Hollywood starlets, spoiled aristocrats, and yes, wealthy businessmen like Thorakis.<br />

Especially when they were being naughty, which according to the very latest edition of La<br />

Dolce Vita, the Greek definitely was.<br />

According to the breathless text that accompanied a much-magnified shot of the shipping<br />

magnate nibbling on a woman's bare foot, Thorakis was currently lying low in Sintra with his<br />

mistress. And judging from the six suitcases that had been unloaded from his limo, the<br />

businessman was planning to stay for a while.<br />

A quick phone call to a small paper in Sintra was sufficient to confirm the Greek's presence.<br />

But rather than travel to Sintra, and improvise some sort of cover subsequent to his arrival, 47<br />

wanted to do it the right way. Which was to construct an alternate identity before he boarded a<br />

plane. It was the sort of thing Diana normally took care of for him, yet now, having been forced<br />

to do his own research, the operative already knew the unsavory sort of person he wanted to<br />

impersonate.<br />

As a member of the freewheeling, hypercompetitive, and often unethical band of photographers<br />

frequently referred to as the paparazzi, he could hang around the Thorakis mansion at all hours<br />

of the day and night, carry a variety of cameras, and openly follow the Greek wherever he went.<br />

All without eliciting any suspicion.<br />

Of course first, before assuming his new identity, Agent 47 knew it would be necessary to<br />

change his appearance. Not just a little bit, but a lot, because Thorakis knew very well what he<br />

looked like, and if he really was a turncoat, the Puissance Treize would want to protect him.<br />

So the assassin made some phone calls, took down an address, and set the alarms on his<br />

luggage.<br />

Agent 47 had learned a lot about makeup and theatrical appliances over the years. So much so<br />

that when he entered the Portello Dell Fase he was able to successfully pass himself off as a<br />

British actor who had unexpectedly been called upon to play Shakespeare's Falstaff. There was<br />

much bustling about as the proprietress, a onetime stage actress herself, went in search of the<br />

perfect strap-on foam belly. An appliance that, when combined with a half-halo of black hair<br />

and some cheek inserts, would transform her customer into the shameless, lying tub of lard that<br />

was Falstaff.<br />

The woman was equipped with costumes as well, and though of the opinion that 47 was too tall<br />

to play Falstaff, she said that she was willing to make the necessary alterations anyway.<br />

Agent 47 demurred, however, insisting that the theater company would provide his costume, so<br />

he was able to exit gracefully after spending what seemed like an exorbitant amount of money in<br />

the shop.
