Chapter 2 - "Red Square-off" (a bit shorter) ====================================================================== Moscow, Russia Dinamo Stadium 12th February 2008, 9:30 pm
Full time.
CSKA won. The cries of celebration go up from the crowd. About 28,000 screaming supporters celebrated a hard fought victory, as 1 of those people began the walk down to the city streets.
It was Abel Rehman. 23 year old, American, wealthy and successful businessman. Had several shares in big companies - HSBC, Rio Tinto and Vodafone, just to name a few, and also had interest in many sports teams, the reason why he was at the game in a private box. Food, wine.....He was hard to recognise, though, his big coat almost disguising him from the thousands of fans filtering outside. He found a taxi, hailed it and got in.
"Izenka Street, please". As the cab sped off, the driver turned the radio on. An unintelligible gibberish filled Abel's ears.
It was Russian. He settled in for the drive. As he reflected on his possible buying venture, flipping through the documents, he thought about the team. Could it be financially viable? Would the fans approve of it?
His phone went off. He put his documents aside and pulled it out of his pocket. A text.
.....unknown number. He pressed Read and was confused.
Peek-a-boo. I see you.
He was weirded out. He didn't take any notice afterwards and kept filling out the documents.
HSBC......name......Abel Rehman....
When the car got close to his house, he saw a strange figure. He never saw him before. He paid the driver, 20 dollars, and got out of the car. His eyes still fixated on the man standing in his driveway.
"Uh hello, do I know you?"
...
...
I have a package for you.
