....during the next week Danny      moved into a rented flat some distance away from Langley Virginia,  telephone was installed and a car  drove him around to and from the agency,  he rang up the fishing camp and gave them his new address and phone number for any emergency  situation,  
A few days later  he visited  Sam Green  a companion in his flat,  he worked in the detective department,  conversationally  the topic of previous agents and agencies names rose up,  specially the ones who were  suspended,  some two hundred fifty  of them were  discussed  , most if them turned against the agency,  present director was the deputy director then , Danny explained some of the  seniors were still  working in the agency  and only he has the access to the classified information he is leaking

....Larry was  going to Canada from New York, in the last phase of his journey he hired a helicopter   that was flying northwards  towards  a fishing camp , the pilot  gestured downwards  , that was  the camp black well,  helicopter landed  , Larry looked around,  he spotted the jeep that would drive him to his destination,  half hour later on the drive Larry saw a cottage beyond the canopy of trees,  the cottage was  absolutely  vacant,  a man near the river  was cleaning his small boat,  Larry reached him and asked him where was Williams dans 
Danny is gone fishing up the river I can take you there if you want 
Larry readily occupied his seat inside the boat,  after one hour  he saw someone  fishing , he got down and going closer declared  Danny I have to speak with you urgently 
I am not at all interested in what you have to say 
I know you love your country for the sake of  it listen to me 
I can die for my country but I am not working for the agency 
But the agency is part of America and for its  safety you must listen carefully to me, I bring deputy director  Dickson  Handley s message 
I retired seven years ago and lead a peaceful life 
Come back just for six months

....it was one  cold  winter morning in Vienna Robert Stine was   facing the winds  holding the paper carry bag  close to his chest was heading towards his house,  he lived in s small flat on the third floor of an old skyscraper,  he made coffee for himself  and sat down to eat his breakfast 
There was a good phase of his life  when he sold  information to different  international agencies,  but now he was paid just eighty dollars by the American, his wife was a bar maid , his life was  rolling on 
He hoped to make  a huge amount  from his latest project for the Americans,   he through a secretary of an American agency  was working on coding machine card chip  copy, walisa was to meet him next day in a park,  he had   been working hard on walisa to agree , if walisa brought the copy  he could  get that desired amount from the Americans 
Tge door bell rang  as he was having his breakfast,  who could that be this hour,  his wife's timings  were  different in the evening,  reaching the door he asked who was there 
Postman,  a most urgent letter 
Robert peeped outside through the peephole , right there stood the familiar figure of the regular Postman

.just drop this topic said sehrab , amma simply tell me if I shall  recoup  within four days,  amma looked at him with her old dry eyes and smiled,  God willing  you will recover  with the first dose  after the final fourth  you will want to cut down  mountains,  chameli teasingly asked if he will become Tarzan,  he glared at her he will become a monster not Tarzan,  chameli giggled,  amma also smiled  seeing both chameli  and sehrab happy , she meaningfully looked at them and  gave them her blessings,  her profound feelings   made them both speechless,  a  color passed  across her face , cahmeli rebuked amma for speaking thoughtlessly , she slowly began moving towards her corner,  amma was rather surprised  at her girl s annoyance,  after sge left amma turned to sehrab and asked if both of them had quarreled , he explained  poor she  wouldn't  have quarreled  in fact  she took great care of him , his voice became soft,  amma  thought  chameli was silly and shy, not completely.  Satisfied with her own  statement sge followed her girl 
He was forgetting  the  genuine feelings of a mother for her young unmarried  girl,  he had skipped telling amma and chameli  all about himself,  mothers of Yong girls are exactly like this,  they  are only worried about their own daughters

....Tara saved herself from falling down  but she couldn't escape from his  influence,  it is usual adolescence thinking  that someone specially follows you notices you observes you ,,for you he goes up to the terrace every day,  he shows his deepest interest in your life,  he takes care of you,  you can't think properly,  your mind likes to  think about just him , something  natural  growing up  and Tara was experiencing it,she was liking his proximity  , she couldn't ignore him as before,  she spent more time listening to friends romantic life stories and began reading more love stories,  she felt it made life beautiful,  she felt tge difference  between indifference and close warm relationship,  she now  spent extra time up on the terrace waiting for him after fajar  before leaving for college

...living in fear  was killing her,  all that she wanted was  freedom from her confined life,  life was suffocating,  she wanted to do things  her way to her liking  as she wanted  of her choice,  her other classmates  were free to choose and decide,  they all dressed up  trendy,  wore makeup  , listened to music,  going  for drama shows  but her bhabhi was  barring her from enjoying life in its simplest moments 
Is this how you treat children,  from now  you must know how to cover yourself,  how to dress up properly how to walk and how to eat, if she learns all the right things and proper behavior  soon enough she will  take off to soaring but trendy attire,  modern music  going out to theaters will certainly spoil her , she ought to be kept tightly under  control,  bhabhi would  doubtfully  look at her,  telling ammi what all dangers  round the corners await  , bhabhi indirectly   let ammi feel guilty for not raising her daughter  correctly  and the correct way only bhabhi  knew 
Ammi tried to explain  to Tara  this wasn't the right age to dress  fashionable,  later on she could  have as much fun as she could,  that bhabhi was right about drama shows and loud music,  these are merely sinful distractions,  stay away from temptations  because they are worthless

.....some people  are  very fond of getting  their  shave done  and to fulfill their  passion they discover  new ways , if you carefully look around you seriously  innumerable  people will be found in every colony and area , rafuq bhai was one such weird character,  age sixty  medium height,  dusty complexion,  white capped head, no work routine,  the days spent  roaming aimlessly  through the streets  before returning home to sit in a chair  outside his house m the only one thing he did  right was to get groceries  fir his household  and  obediently  follow his wife's instructions,  a two storey building was made during his good times,  he lived with his wife on the upper floor and rented out the ground floor,  from this amount he was running his household,  two daughters were happily married and settled,  sometimes they visited their parents 
Rafuq bhai was universal bhai , children  elders and tge aged all called him rafuq bhai,  men and women  unanimously accepted him just as rafiq bhai,  so he was just rafiq bhai  to all equally,  
Every time he would leave the house wife enquired where was he going 
Just up to the barber's 
 For a shave
The wife looked surprised and confused 
Didn't you go to the barber's two days ago 
Yes of course but it was a Monday,  putting on his shoes he spoke helplessly
