A quick glance, another tap and glance and then she shut it off. Already she was missing Rafael’s leadership, but there was nothing for it. And who knew, maybe Semi wouldn’t turn out to be so bad a leader in the end. Least she hoped so. She stuffed the iPad in her bag, and sat quietly as Nicole drove them to their destination.<br/><br/>Once they hit a shabbier part of town, Ferret dropped her bag next to Semi’s stuff. “See that finds a safe corner in our new home. I’m off to gather more up-to-date information.” With that she rolled out of the back of the vehicle and hit the ground running. In the blink of an eye she disappeared into the surroundings.<br/><br/>She wandered the area mixing with the people that were out and about even at this time of night. Soon she came to the spot she was needing and squatted against the building. She waited patiently, silent and still, watching the people go by. Soon she was rewarded with a young man coming to casually squat next to her. Speaking in a low voice, she introduced herself. “I am Rawiya.” Her Arabic and accent were flawless and one wouldn’t know if she was native or not under the burka.<br/>
