After the martini he paid the bartender handsomely and left the bar. He wanted to feel the right amount of tipsy, but his logical part of the brain told him that he had a lot of good judgements to make, so he stopped with one peg of martini and outside the bar whistled for a taxi. One taxi stopped. Inside the taxi he asked the driver if he could smoke. The driver said yes. He lit a cigar to feel good. He was definitely not feeling good right now, so he wanted something to feel good. He generally did not smoke inside cars or taxies, he did not ever talk to taxi drivers much lest asking for permission to smoke which was below his position. But he did all the exceptional things today. Because he was feeling very romantic today. And when one fighter turns a lover boy, he goes soft first or goes suicidal: John knew this and he was feeling the both way at the same time. He wanted to live for Bodil and if he could not get her love she wanted to die chanting her name. As he was desperate he said to the taxi driver, "Man, do you speak English?"
The taxi driver told him that he was an American, living in this country because he followed his heart - his beloved who belonged to this country. John again asked a personal question to the taxi driver, "How is your beloved then?" He asked this question because he felt the taxi driver's fate was quite similar to that of his own. The taxi driver replied in a humourous way that his beloved was his wife now and was resting in his house while he was working for her and driving the taxi day and night. It gave John a good laugh. He wanted a good laugh so dearly that he handed the taxi driver a cigar to lit whenever he wanted. The taxi driver took the cigar. John directly asked, "Hey, my case is not different from yours. My wife wants me to get her a cut head of a certain human being who can be hear or anywhere on this globe which is not an easy task I know. If I don't bring her the guy's head she won't love me. This not confusing at all. This part is crystal clear. But one of my friends said that to catch a grey I need to fetch a black first. This message was not very helpful you know." The taxi driver replied that this seemed some cryptic message. John laughed. Then focused on smoking his cigar. He wanted an answer from the taxi driver. But he cursed himself the next moment for seeking answer from the wrong places today.
Then another message came from Adan: Did you get a black, my dear dark hearted friend? Or you need me to sleep with you?
The taxi had reached the airport. John typed to Adan: No need dear cousin. I had SOMANY girlfriends to sleep with. With his wordplay he wanted to hint that he had slept with Adan's wife Somani so many times, which would enrage Adan beyond repair. But he was going to hit the send button when the taxi driver said, "Sir, please wait. I want to talk to my wife about your problem. She is very clever. She will get an answer, definitely."
John stopped. After the taxi driver's call he would hit the send button. The taxi driver talked to his wife half in English half in Danish. Then after two minutes he happily ended the call. He told John that perhaps black might mean a black man or a black hat. John did not know what a black hat meant. The taxi driver made him understand that a black hat was a hacker who could hack into any system and find the location of a man anywhere on this globe if he was an exceptionally good hacker. But it might cost a lot of money. John thought: Yeah, a hacker. He suddenly wanted to kiss the hands of the taxi driver like a king kisses the hand of a pope. He gave all the money he had inside his pocket and all the golden chains and rings (except his marriage ring given by Bodil) he wore. Then he wanted to kiss Adan very badly, so he did not send the message he had typed. Rather he deleted the message and typed and sent: Thanks cousin. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks again.
