The response was little more than an inarticulate gurgling noise, so 47 was forced to remove his<br />
foot, and thereby relieve the pressure on Jamal's tortured windpipe.<br />
“Now, try again.”<br />
“Money,” came the raspy response. “I was going to take your money.”<br />
“That's one possibility,” the agent allowed darkly. “But there are others. How can I be sure that<br />
you're just a thief?”<br />
“My hand,” Jamal said piteously, as he held up the hook for inspection. “They cut it off.”<br />
It had long been the Muslim practice to amputate hands, arms, and in some cases legs, as a<br />
punishment for thievery. While this approach was gradually falling out of favor in many Middle<br />
Eastern countries, it was still considered an effective deterrent in others. A fact that seemed to<br />
support Jamal's claim. So, having completed a quick pat down, Agent 47 backed out of reach.<br />
“I suggest that you find a new line of work. You aren't very good at this one.”<br />
Jamal continued to hug his knee and moan softly as 47 put the shovel back where he had found<br />
it.<br />
“I'll leave the gate ajar,” the assassin promised, as he bent over to retrieve the Krugerrand. “And<br />
don't bother to get up. I'll see myself out.”<br />
Having left the little courtyard behind, Agent 47 paused at the point where the side passage met<br />
the main thoroughfare, and took a moment to adjust his red silk tie. Then, having assured<br />
himself there weren't any additional Jamals waiting to attack him, he resumed his journey.<br />
A right-hand turn took him down a short flight of stairs, under an arch, and past a group of boys<br />
who were playing with a soccer ball. It soon became clear that what had once been a residential<br />
area had gradually transitioned into a small souk with specialized stores slotted along both sides<br />
of the street. The establishment 47 was looking for lay about a hundred feet farther on, just<br />
around a gentle curve and opposite a family-run grocery. The sign out front read MEN'S<br />
CLOTHING, in both English and Arabic, followed by ABAZA TIRK, PROPRIETOR, in<br />
smaller letters, carved out and painted in gold.<br />
Having stopped to inspect the overly ripe fruit displayed on the other side of the thoroughfare,<br />
and to make sure that he hadn't acquired a new tail, Agent 47 was forced to wait for a group of<br />
black-clad women to pass before crossing over to the store. Like the shops located to either<br />
side, the clothing store was quite narrow, which made it necessary to hang clothes in tiers, the<br />
highest of which were suspended just below the ceiling, and only accessible with a long pole. It<br />
was hot and musty, and there wasn't much light, but what there was came from ceiling fixtures<br />
that were at least seventy-five years old.<br />
A well-worn aisle led straight back to where a man with generally even features, slightly bulging<br />
eyes, and a servile manner stood waiting. He was dressed in a red fez, a well-tailored gray suit,
