I could hear the music now.  It was still slightly faint even though I was 
quite close.  I slowed my pace as I turned into the park, the band was at 
the far side on the stand surrounded by trees.  I drifted around the stand 
as I approached - there were about two hundred or more people - I could see 
a relatively clear spot.

I saw her then.  She was dancing on her own, she seemed to be in the middle 
and yet was alone - I came to a stop about a couple of meters behind her.  
I could sense the magnetism emanating from her, everyone who drifted 
through that area had to turn and look (the men that is), even those with 
thier girlfriends in tow - or were they being towed?  It was just after 9pm

I inched slowly torwards her, I didn't want to frighten her away.  The 
first one came at about 9:15.  He tried to attract her attention by taking 
up various postures beside her, hoping she'd turn to him.  She really 
looked sexy dancing in the soft light.  She ignored him, but he looked 
dangerous to me, I really hoped he wouldn't try and make a move on her, 
because I'd be forced to react.  He was on the make however, and soon moved 
off when he thought he saw better fish to fry.

The band really sounded good.  I wondered if I could get Gerald on the 
phone, he'd snap them up, but it was a friday night he definately would not 
be in.  They really would not be going for much longer, they'd already been 
playing for an hour or so before I arrived.

The other two came at 9:45 or thereabouts.  The shorter one was hoping to 
score.  He lit up a ciggarette, perhaps he thought that looked cool.  He 
looked really funny.  He tried to figure out whether I was with her or not, 
he couldn't really be sure.  I decided to speak to her after the band 
finished, right now I found the antics of the short guy too funny for words 
to describe.

He must have spoken to her just before the band finished, because she 
stopped dancing then.  I saw the second time he tried to chat her up, the 
look of disgust that passed across her face, then she simply picked up her 
bag and left.  I couldn't contain myself any longer, I burst out laughing 
and so did his partner.  He couldn't figure out what to do so he started 
laughing - tentatively - with us.  Then he asked me "Any problems?" "No" I 
replied. I just couldn't stop laughing, so I turned and moved off.

I signalled Sally to move the others out and then called Julius and told 
him to kill the two guys.  We had spent nine weeks of hard work avoiding 
the undercover units, making the contacts, getting them to trust us,
finally getting her out of hiding to make this meet and those two idiots 
had blown it for us.  Only three more weeks to reestablish contact and 
hopefully try and persuade her to let us get her out.  I honestly don't 
think we can.

I walked back to the flat through the brightly lit streets.  I decided to 
sleep naked, in this balmy weather it keeps you cool and helps you to hang 
onto your sense of the perspective.
