In Madrid, the man there feared the phone call just received might have jeopardized him, so he packed up and left for Paris.  He was correct in his fears.  His name had been found in the volumes of data collected by the Janitors in Hit and his phone was under surveillance by the Spanish.  As he drove down the street away from his residence, the Spanish authorities drove up, missing him by less than a minute.  The Spanish decided to stake out his home and wait.  That allowed him to make good his escape to France.  Once in Paris, he called the Toronto cell and informed them of Kahdi’s predicament.  He told them to proceed with caution.  That call completed, he decided that Europe was no place for him and booked a flight home to Saudi Arabia.

After a day of waiting outside the empty house, the Spanish authorities finally had the thought to contact the Canadians about the man in their midst.  They didn’t know his name, but were able to tell them where he was located.  That proved to be of little help to the Canadian authorities because Sa’d Kahdi had checked into a hotel of some size, which was frequented by a large number of Mideastern types.  The best they could do was to put a plainclothes detail in the lobby, hoping to spot a suspicious-looking person and comb through the files of recent arrivals.  What they found there were thirty-seven people of Middle Eastern descent who had checked in during the past seven days.  Further checking proved that none of those thirty-seven had placed a call to Spain in the last two days.

 

Sa’d Kahdi had been picked for this assignment because he was familiar with Canada and the United States, having traveled to both countries on numerous occasions.  During those trips, he came to the conclusion that North American police forces more or less left people alone if they acted in a normal and relaxed way.  Now, as he walked through the lobby of the hotel after having eaten, he was forced to put that conclusion to the test, as he spotted what had to be police officers in plainclothes.  

 

Calmly he walked to the bank of elevators, pushed the button, went to his floor, and into his room.  Only when inside did he exhale fully.  Kahdi wondered what to do.  The police being present might have nothing to do with him.  But instinct told him otherwise.  Yet, if he left the hotel he would never make contact with the Toronto cell.  And that cell was vital because they could get his luggage aboard the flight he would take to America and bypass customs in Chicago.  The experience of customs on arrival in Canada had been harrowing, even though it had gone well.  He knew a closer inspection of his papers might arouse suspicion—suspicion that would easily turn up the fact that he had no business being in Canada or the United States.

He felt he had used up all the luck he was entitled to.  The Americans would not be so lax—especially not now.  Just as he was about to decide to leave the hotel and take his chances on another method to reach America, the phone rang.  The voice said, “Check out now.  Leave the hotel, turn right, and wait at the corner for a red sedan to pick you up.”

 

Kahdi hung up the phone, gathered his things, went to the lobby, and checked out.  He did his best not to look at the police officers he had spotted earlier, as he calmly walked from the hotel.  At the corner, the red car pulled up in front of him.  Without haste he opened the door, put his bags in the back, and rode off with a young woman at the wheel.

 

Around the corner and driving with a pace to match traffic, the woman glanced at him.  “You are Kahdi.  No need for you to know my name.  We cannot get you out of Canada and into the United States by airline.  Our man in Chicago has been detained by the authorities for questioning.”
