.He'd told Dejti that the group was American special operations, but he stillwasn't sure.The methods were the same, if he had to guess he'd say SEAL bythe entry patterns and the way the groups moved based on the few remainingeye-witnesses.But there was no reason he could find that an American specialoperations unit would attack the Albanians.Quite the opposite, in fact, givensome of the videos in Dejti's hands.He'd nosed around Chisinau, a bastard city in his opinion, and some of Yuri'sassociates had mentioned a group of Americans nosing around.They supposedlyhad Georgian girls they were taking to a "special auction" in Montenegro.Thealso had more muscle than was normal, at least fifteen or twenty Georgians.The database he was looking at was from Interpol, a listing of potentialsecurity threats in and around theEU zone.The problem was, there were so many he wasn't sure what he waslooking for.The group might not have even been Georgian, but he wasconcentrating there.But between the Ossetian separatist movements and theChechnyans.He stopped in his perusal and backed up a page.There was a note in thedatabase about a newGeorgian militia with American training.A mountain infantry group called theKeldara."An American using the name of Michael Jenkins has begun to form a new militiain the Georgian mountains.Said militia has engaged with Chechnyan terroristgroups twice.Equipped with light small arms, the group has undergone trainingwith five or more Western special operations trainers.Results of trainingunknown."There was a picture of "Jenkins" and he matched the description of theAmerican in Chisinau.Of course, so did half the men in the world.But Yarokcopied it off the database and mailed it to his men inTimisoara to show to the witnesses from the club.He briefly considered simply turning the information over to the Romanianauthorities.They'd put the word out through Interpol and that would certainlyinconvenience this "Jenkins" character.But it wouldn't fulfill his mission,which was to put the man in an unmarked grave.However, Interpol also kept a database of people using hotels.It was slow toupdate, but it might give him an idea where Jenkins was going.* * *The girls liked the hotel.The Hotel Caesaria was on the Adriatic coast of Montenegro, a narrow strip ofland that included the cities of Kotor and Perast.The town of Zalenika, whichwas where the hotel was located, could barely count as a town, much less acity.There was a straggle of old houses, a small market and a warf to supportthe primary local industry: small boat fishing.The majority of the boatslooked as if they'd been constructed in the time of the Argonauts.They wereopen "caiques", lightly built wooden dories originally designed for one or twomen to row them or to use small sails.Their only concession to the21stcentury was the addition of small diesel motors.The fishermen wouldgenerally leave in the afternoon, go out in to the reefs that choked the area,lay down gill nets with gourd floats then pick them up the next morning,starting usually at dawn.Zalenika was near the opening of a large bay that serviced the boat traffic ofPage 45ABC Amber Palm Converter, http://www.processtext.com/abcpalm.htmlboth Kotor and Parest.There wasn't much for either, local trade was highly limited and there wasn'teven a regular ferry service to Dubrovnik, the nearest major city, much lessto Italy which was just across the Adriatic.Zalenika was the definition of"backwater." The hotel was just down the road from the main "town", near thevery tip of the cape that protected the bay.There were a few beaches but mostly the coastline was too rocky for goodswimming.There was, however, enough room for some sunbathing and a smallbeach by the hotel.Mike had explained to the girls that, as part of theircover, it was important that they looked as if they were just on a trip andgetting a little sun.After some pro-forma protests, most of the Keldara hadsuited up and headed for the beach along with the three "liberated" hookers.Which left Mike out in a small Ladia, looking for a boat.Two, actually.Zalenika mostly fronted on its excuse for a warf.The small bay that the cityfaced was curved in a semi-circle with ancient jetties protecting it fromnortherly gales.The warf itself was a seawall that looked as if the originalstonework was Roman with rickety wooden piers jutting out from it.It wasbacked by a narrow street made of flagstones patched with everything frombricks to concrete to sand.There were acouple of sailboats anchored in the middle of the bay and a few ancientspeedboats tied up at the piers [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
