“And now insane men adrift in a world without order formed a line at the door.聽 They rendered unto her every evil act brought into this world by God.聽 They fell upon her with brutality that none of them at any other time would have thought possible.聽 There was once no scenario that would lead them to behave this way.聽 At any other time in their life there were no words or arguments that could convince them to treat a woman with such wanton disregard.聽 No one now asked, 鈥淲hat brought me to this?鈥 Not one of them asked, 鈥淲ho are these men?聽 How did we end up here, doing these things? Who am I now?”

“Thierry was one.聽 An award winning documentary film producer based in Paris.聽 Her curiosity was not driven so much by his fame or talent, with which he was generously endowed on both counts, but by his elusiveness.聽 He had a reputation for chasing the most complicated and dangerous assignments that others considered too risky.聽 He had money for all occasions.聽 He had a reputation among men as a man with a reputation among women.”

“Then Drago began the deliberate, precise, business-like process of killing.聽 A knee-buckling burst of fire and flash laid waste to men and material within seconds.聽 A Panhard vehicle to Silva鈥檚 left simply disappeared in an explosion that spraying metal parts willy-nilly in every direction in a spread so thorough that Drago thought they were under fire, and he yelled at his men to respond.聽 Another blast destroyed a six-wheeled reconnaissance vehicle, but it didn鈥檛 break it apart; it simply expanded as if swollen or bloated, like an air mattress or inflatable toy, though it still had weight and quickly collapsed over its own suspension.聽 Some trucks were overturned; a Jeep flipped end-over-end.聽 None were left unscathed.聽 In short order, what had been ten or twelve vehicles were reduced to a single steaming and smoking pile of metal.”

“But the floor retained an unparalleled measure of excellence with a decorative array of ceramic tiles precisely laid by an anonymous Muslim artisan with limitless patience, pride, or skill.聽 He left behind an ornate work of art in a short, squat, non-descript building near the most dangerous piece of real estate on the planet.聽 Silva often wondered how an architect so careless came to work with a craftsman so precise.聽 Looking at that floor, she often thought that if everyone applied just a fraction of his dedication to their own work, it might cancel out the hatred driving the destruction.”
