In Namibia, Bruce told Anson about the call.  Both agreed Jim must be on to something important, to go flying off to Iran under cover of darkness.  They went back to their task.  While Dusty and Ike made the rounds of likely places to drop the hint they were guns for hire, Bruce and Anson had passed the word they might be interested in investments.  Kye and Bear, the happy brother and sister tourists, did all the sightseeing things expected of them, and kept their ears to the ground.  They were the first to discover a bit of discontent with the status quo.  A travel guide who seemed less than happy in his job was overheard by those two telling a friend that he would very much like to see something other than a democracy in Namibia.  The friend told the travel guide things could be changing for the better in the near future.  Kye and Bear split off from the group of tourists and followed the travel guide’s friend.  They saw where he lived by the end of the day, and contacted Bruce with their information.  Bruce assigned Dusty and Ike the task of picking up the man and following him around, until they felt he was in a location where they could discuss their desire to make money as soldiers of fortune.  Their chance came when the man went into a coffee bar and was talking to another man in hushed tones at a corner table.  Dusty and Ike sat next to their table, discussed their chances of finding work as hired guns, and spoke just loudly enough to be heard by the man and his companion.  When they got up and left, the man they had followed and his friend followed them and approached them on the street.  The man asked if they were serious about taking up arms for a price.  Assured they were, the man asked where they could be contacted…and what type of experience they had.  They told the man they had extensive experience in such matters and had at one time led a Special Forces detail for the Canadian Armed Forces, and they told him where they could be found.

The same evening, in their hotel room, they were contacted by a man who wanted to know what they would charge to help train an insurgent force.  They stated a price, which was counter offered.  In time a price was agreed to.  Dusty mentioned he and Ike had met two American investors who might be interested in supplying money to the operation—if they were convinced it would succeed—and they would be in a position to profit from a change in government, from favorable dealings with the new government.  Since money and the arms it buys are the lifeblood of any insurgency, the man who had come to see them became quite excited at the prospect of more money and wrote down the names of Bruce and Anson and where Dusty thought they were staying.

After telling Dusty and Ike they would be contacted within the next day or two, he hurried off to meet Bruce and Anson.  The meeting went smoothly.  Bruce told the man that, given proper assurances and a guarantee of sweet deals with the new government, he and Anson would certainly be willing to invest in such a venture.  They too were told they would be contacted within the next forty-eight hours and taken to meet the man who would be the new “King of Namibia.”
