“I’m almost ready.”
“You’ll contact me each day. Email, text, phone call through Shani.”
“Daily?”
“Yes. With the murder of Tariq and the targeting of Victor, it’s a safe assumption they know about you.”
“I know. But I’ll be with Ardeth. He’s powerful there.”
“Better to be prepared. You need to take care.”
“I will. I promise. It’s only for a month.”
“Kol Tuv, Shalom; and in all things, never act out of panic. I’ll be watching you, yeled ahuv.”
“Ani ohevet otcha, Zayde. You be careful, too.”
"If for some reason you need backup. Feel free to call. I'm sure I could make it there faster than just about anyone. I would rather leave the people we care about alone for a little while and drag your half dead body back to Seattle than have some stranger deliver a letter."
"You'd run to Cairo for me? Can you fly that helicopter yet?"
"I can put that thing through its paces. In a few weeks I wouldn't be surprised if I can put that thing through an eye of a needle."
"Thank you. I appreciate it. Just trust, if I call, or get a message to you somehow... there is no overlap of night between here and there... it will be bad. Real bad."
"Noted. So when do leave?"
"Tuesday. It's all been arranged."
“I’m going to miss chatting with you.”
“You will be back, Sarah. Hopefully, I will be here still.”
“I know. I’ve grown used to texting with you.”
“Well, be careful. Remember, you sleep during the day.”
“I know. But I’m not having nightmares anymore.”
“Good.”
"If you need anything—if there's ever anything that I can do, whatever you need—Michael will have my phone during the day. Call."
"I will. I'll be fine. It's only a month."
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you more."
"It's not a competition. Which is good for you, because I don't lose. …. Just...come back soon."
"I will. Promise. If all goes as planned, I'll be pampered and shown off, I'll have to talk a lot, deliver missives, and see what Ardeth needs of me. Then I'll come home."
“Good. Because I’ll be here.”
“And that’s worth coming back for.”
"Luck and safety while you travel through the lands of your Mountain-Loyal cousins. May your steps be light, and may Al-Ashrad's wisdom guide you."
“Thank you, Your Highness. And may God be between you and harm in all the empty places you must walk.”
“You’ll contact me each day. Email, text, phone call through Shani.”
