СКАЧАТЬ reached out for the old man’s hand. ‘We’ve taken a risk to come and see you but now we have your answer and we’ll leave you in peace,’ she said quietly.

      Mick nodded in agreement, ‘Yeah, Mr Zibu. We’ll go and leave you in peace. Sorry to have disturbed you.’

      ‘My son? How is he?’

      Eliza replied, ‘He’s now a surgeon at Guy’s Hospital.’

      ‘Good. Good,’ whispered a pleased old man.

      Mick and Eliza climbed back into the Land Rover and were about to drive off when Chand Zibu waved to stop them.

      Mick wound down his window as the old man approached. ‘How did you find me?’

      ‘I have spoken to many people. In quiet, secret places, your name is spoken. Some hope for your return while others make their own plans for a future free of Joseph Lattua.’

      The old man nodded, ‘Perhaps there can be a new future, but it’s not up to me to lead the country to that future. I had my chance and failed,’ he placed his hand on Mick’s arm. ‘Wait a moment.’

      They watched as the old man walked over to the rickety chair and picked up the tin box beneath. He opened it as he walked back to the car. ‘I can’t tell you who to trust, but I can tell you who not to trust.’ He extracted a stained, and much folded sheet of paper from the box. ‘I shouldn’t have done this. My life would have been forfeited if they had ever found it. These are the men who betrayed me,’ he proffered the paper to Mick Sloane, ‘Be careful…tell my son he is always in my thoughts.’

      Mick took the sheet and tucked it into his shirt pocket. He shook the old man’s hand in thanks. ‘You take care as well.’

      Eliza watched out the back window as the Land Rover drove away. She saw the old man light a cigarette while he stood watching their departing cloud of dust. Then he slowly made his way back to the rickety chair and settled down to await his next customer.
