It was Friday night and Alia told Nagib that he deserved a special treat for his brilliant behavior during the interview. Nagib smiled and asked what she had in mind and she shyly said that she would try to match his performance by doing what women did to please their husbands in the "old country" and told him to relax on the sofa and close his eyes. She took a kefiya that they kept in a drawer in their bedroom and tied it around his eyes making sure that he could not see anything. Then poured him a tumbler full of the finest whiskey they had in the house, added a couple of ice cubes and placed it in his hand. She brought her laptop computer, and on YouTube she found belly dance music with a darbuka drum solo and switched on the speakers. Nagib started smiling as his expectations were building up. Next she went to the bedroom, put on her most delicate perfume, removed her clothes and wrapped all the scarves she could find around her naked body. By the time she returned to the living room Nagib had finished his drink so she gently kissed him on the lips and removed the tumbler from his hands and refilled it. She glanced at his crotch and was pleased to see the bulge that was forming there. As if by mistake, her elbow rubbed against it and she was rewarded by a sharp intake of breath and a sigh. She said that Nagib could now look but not touch and removed the kefiya from his eyes and used it to tie his right hand to the sofa. When he saw what she was wearing he knew that this would be a night to remember but did not know what else she had in stock for him. Alia slowly started gyrating her hips to the sound of the rhythmic music allowing her breasts to move unrestricted under the scarves. She moved towards Nagib and ordered him to remove one scarf without using his free hand, dancing closer and closer to him until he could catch the edge of the scarf with his teeth. She then moved sensuously away so the scarf fell off. She continued her ritual until the last scarf was removed. By that time Nagib was moaning with expectation and told her to free him, but Alia placed her finger on his lips and told him to be patient. She bent down and removed his shoes and socks while her forehead pressed upon his erection. Nagib wriggled on the sofa and tried to pull her towards him with his free hand but she smacked his hand away and told him to wait. She untied the kefiya from the sofa, replaced it on his eyes once again and instructed him to stand up. She then slowly continued to remove all his clothes and told him to sit back on the sofa. By now Nagib's erection had reached unprecedented proportions almost causing him physical pain and he could barely stop himself from pulling Alia to the sofa and respond to his body's primal instinct. She was pleased by his reaction and in a low husky voice instructed him to take her on the carpet without removing his blindfold. She pulled him on top of her and within seconds both exploded in the most intense orgasm that surpassed anything they had previously experienced. After they caught their breath, she removed his blindfold and hugged him tightly saying she would never let him go. He smiled and told her that whatever happened they would stay together forever. They got up from the carpet and walked hand in hand to the bedroom where they continued their lovemaking.
When they woke up it was almost noon and after having coffee they had a serious discussion about the future. Alia repeated her idea that they settle down in Los Alamos like good Americans, start a family and lead a normal life and forget about the plan. Nagib said he was tempted to do that but the urge to inflict damage on the Israelis would not fade away. Alia insisted that they had a great opportunity to live happily in the US and should let others avenge the injustice inflicted on the Palestinian people, but Nagib remained adamant that it was their duty. She promised him more pleasures like they had the previous night, but by now the fires of passion that had driven him senseless before had cooled and he repeated his speech about honor of his people, respect to family values of revenge and duty to their homeland and the Palestinian people. Alia said that she would follow his lead and felt that the immediate danger of being exposed had passed, but nevertheless they should act quickly.
Chapter 4
Eugene called David from his office and related his impressions of the interview with Nagib. He said that Nagib had been very smooth with his answers as if they had been rehearsed. Eugene was mainly bothered by the fact that at no stage had he shown any emotions, even when describing his relations with his parents and deceased brother. However, the Colonel practically swallowed every word spoken by Nagib as if it was delivered by the Pope (Col. Dick Groovey was a devout Catholic) himself at the latest Ecumenical Council. Eugene told David that he thought they would have a problem convincing the Deputy Director and the Colonel that Nagib's access to classified information should be restricted, or even that a new thorough security investigation should be initiated.
David's concern that Nagib was up to something increased after the conversation with Eugene. He asked Haim Shimony's secretary to arrange a meeting, saying that it was not urgent, but she knew that Shimony, who was now Chief of Mossad, respected David's intuition and scheduled the meeting for 8 pm that evening. When David arrived at the Chief's office a handful of people, some wearing IDF uniforms and some dressed in civilian clothes were just leaving. One of them was "The Fish", David's old friend from the ISA, so David greeted him warmly and asked him if he could stay for a few minutes and participate in the meeting. "The Fish" asked David what it was about and when David told him it concerned Nagib Jaber "The Fish" readily accepted the invitation. Once they were seated in the Chief's office, David related the news he had received from Eugene and expressed his gut feeling that something fishy could be going on. The Chief said that he had great respect for the American approach to security issues but felt that they were a bit gullible in their belief that anyone who received US citizenship and took the required oath would be loyal to his new country and take no notice of his past and forget where he came from. He mentioned a few well known cases of espionage by nationalized citizens who passed classified military, security and commercial information to parties in their original homeland. Some did this willingly and voluntarily and some did it for financial gain while others were coerced to do so. The Chief suggested that "The Fish" should carry out a thorough investigation and profile of Nagib's background, family and personal history, and also look into Alia's background. In addition he proposed to send David to the US to personally meet with Eugene and see if he could find more about Nagib. This latter detail was very sensitive since Israel vowed not to operate clandestinely on US soil after the embarrassment caused by the Jonathan Pollard affair who was the only American ever to receive a life sentence for passing classified information to an ally of the US.
