Once their cargo is aboard there is nothing else for them to do. They board the vessel and find their cabins. The Best Eastern has it all over a freighter cabin.
Only one more item needs to be taken care of: a five day trip on the Caspian Sea before they reach the Iranian port of Khurramabad. On the third day, Hussein will wire Atwan to release the balance of the funds to Dimitri.
The following morning, the Emir leaves the pier with the assistance of tugs, standard practice for all large vessels as they cannot maneuver very easily alongside a pier.
Out in the main channel, the tugs leave the freighter, and at the end of the channel the freighter enters open waters.
Five days to digest all that we have accomplished, thinks Hussein, standing at the rail, looking across the Caspian Sea to the horizon. Five days to think about what our endeavor will deliver to the West.
