A Week Before

The seven Iranians are meeting in the white cottage they met in before for one final time, before they depart for Houston.  Mehrak tells them the locations of where each member will stand on ground level to blockade the Prince’s procession of vehicles.  He and Javid will be on the rooftops opposite each other.

The FBI rented a van with tinted windows to park near the cottage.  When they arrive they don’t have access to a parking spot as close as they would have liked to use.  Agent Reynolds was familiar with the listening equipment but the unit wasn’t functioning well.  The harder he tried the worse it seemed to operate.


“Damn it,” Reynolds said.

Five Weeks Before

Mehrak and Javid are meeting for lunch.  Javid has the go ahead to order the RPGs.  After lunch Mehrak will give him the money for the deposit.  Mehrak says, “I need your contact’s name and the way to get in touch with him.  This is merely a precaution.  You never know what can happen.  I also want to know where you will be storing them.”

“I understand your caution, Mehrak.  However, I would suggest so long as I am in the picture you let me handle everything.”

“I agree, this is too big for mistakes and I am trying to cover all the bases,” says Mehrak.

“I don’t have a problem with what you are saying.  You are the team leader and have a right to know.”

When the two of them are finished with lunch Javid follows Mehrak back to his vehicle.  He enters the passenger side and after five minutes he leaves with a satchel.”


The FBI agents assigned to both men are taking videos of the transaction.
