Chapter 1 Secret Meeting
"Red lanterns burn brightly in Suez." Aimee whispered the password into the barn.
"Mostly when it rains." The stranger murmured his portion of the passwordfrom behind the heavy wooden door as he creaked it open, glimpsing Aimee and her companion.Day was fading into night, and in the feeble light she guessed he was maybe 18 or 19.She wished he would hurry because each time the cold February wind rustled the trees,she thought a soldier was approaching.He hesitated; then he warily opened the door.
"Come in," he said in a voice as stiff and cold as the onshore breeze.Aimee stepped over the threshold into the old brick barn,carefully holding her elbow askew so young Jacques could follow her.Behind them the stranger slid a wooden plank through metal brackets on each side of the door.

"Jacques is not my brother, but he is the one with news and he needed help finding you."
