cash from a foreigner, especially not out here on a main street. Even a whisper of scandal would<br />
cause Maria's father to whip her with his belt. Because in his view, his daughter's virginity was<br />
the only asset she had.<br />
So the two of them went to the café, where the man slipped fifty euros to the maid under the<br />
table, and ordered coffee for both of them. The conversation lasted for more than an hour,<br />
because the reporter from Le Monde was not only fascinated by the most mundane details of<br />
Maria's job, but by the people she worked with, as well as their interpersonal relationships.<br />
Therefore she was exhausted by the time the interview finally came to a close–and the fellow<br />
passed another fifty-euro note under the table.<br />
“Thank you, Maria,” he said sincerely. “You've been very helpful. Now remember, I won't<br />
mention your name in the article–and you must remain silent, as well. Otherwise you could lose<br />
your job.”<br />
Maria nodded, came to her feet, and glanced at her watch. It was dinnertime! And Maria wasn't<br />
there to help. Her mother would be furious.<br />
Still, the interview had been worth it, and the maid felt happy as she hurried away.<br />
Having determined the internal layout of the house, along with the habits of those who lived<br />
there, 47 was that much closer to being ready. But one problem remained, and that was how to<br />
enter the mansion, and do so at the correct time. Which, based on information provided by<br />
Maria, would be during the day. The most difficult time of all.<br />
The assassin drained the last of his coffee, left the café, and waddled up the street.<br />
The assassin was worried–and had good reason to be, he knew–as the minutes and hours<br />
continued to tick away. More than half the time allotted to him by Mr. Nu had already come off<br />
the clock, and there was still a lot of work left to do. Finding a way to enter the mansion during<br />
the day was proving to be difficult. No, impossible, since none of the schemes he had considered<br />
proved feasible.<br />
Take the “magazine” man, for example. His name was Pedro, and based on the research that the<br />
assassin had carried out, he was a retired carpenter who pulled in a few euros a day by driving<br />
his beat-up sedan into Lisbon at four in the morning, buying newspapers and magazines that<br />
wouldn't arrive in Sintra until late that afternoon, then delivering them to the mansion so<br />
Thorakis could scan them while he ate his breakfast. That raised the possibility that 47 could<br />
bribe the man, pose as his son, and come along for the ride. Then, once the guards were used to<br />
seeing the new face, the rest would be easy. Except that Pedro never spent more than five<br />
minutes in the house, which meant his fake son wouldn't be allowed to either, which left the<br />
assassin back at the starting point.<br />
A couple of other possibilities were eliminated in the same fashion. That left the operative with<br />
growing frustration, and he was beginning to wonder if his whole plan was going down the<br />
drain.
