members of hippie tribe were mostly and usually found on streets, smoking drinking and mentally absent, qasim knew looking like them he was staying in a very expensive hotel, he cursed hamid
when the wife repeated herself she would leave him because he looked so wild and uncivilised, qasim happily asked when was she going away, she felt bad and wanted to call her father , he was ready to help her get the phone , there was a knock on the door, the hotel room service waiter was asking him if qasim a rich man apparently but very tribal looking decent man needed smack or a beautiful companion , he could any time ring up room service and ask for sharif --the waiter told his name was sharif
finally qasim ran away from home, his wife had made his life miserable, the problem was his beard, for past some days he was growing it, he already had long hair shoulder length, but she was ignoring it as the latest trend, but when qasim stopped shaving then she threatened to leave him, leave the house
nik takes archer to another room to talk privately, jean was being dragged, he was not the one to send him instructions, nor did he send the police any tip, was it not archer himself who had brought the parcel with him on the trip, there were no custom stamps on it, and there was no rat either in it, had he not planned cunningly to let carolina open the bomb parcel, for she dead was worth more than alive in his picture
nik sells his stolen rat back for twenty thousand dollars
just in time to board the flight he also remembers to buy the best of french perfume bottles for he was a rich man
as the letter instructed nik , he must wait in the hotel for further orders with the rat, it was a sunday, the next day he decides to leave, he hides the rat in the romm television,
at the airport the french police arrests him, they had a letter by jean who claimed nik had stolen the rat
nik is taken to archer the producer of the movie, company
he shows a small parcel of second rat arrived from the first flight by the manufacturers
giving the tiny parcel to carolina archer asks pictures of her be taken as she opened it
watching her open the parcel , very intently nik jumps on her as the police take out their guns
nik slips down the rope , leaving it tied up to the sky light, from the near by telephone booth he rings up the guard , to find out for him if the rat was safe, , as it was playing the main role in the movie the next morning with carolina
the guard looks at the rat in the box and keeping it on the table goes back to answer the phone
nik throws down a string with a magnet to pull up the toy rat
but the toy rat was not made of iron
nik tries again, pasting some strong glue to the magnet and this time the rat is pulled up
but
the hole is too small for the rat
it was impossible to remove the sky light, the alarms would alert everyone, mary had said jean was archer"s partner , against each other they stood, jean threatened to destroy archer, nik with a cutter makes a small hole in the glass above , throws in a tiny ball bearing, holds back his breath waiting to hear the sound of it touching the ground, all alarms screech the guard looks around unable to see the hole in the sky light
