A NEW WINDOW OPENED in the browser and, quickly, a video began to load, without audio, just an almost black and white image. It showed a hallway, where there were two doors that appeared to be bathrooms; it was a public place.
Greg assumed it was a security camera, because in the corner of the screen there was a date; in fact, it was the exact date of the terrorist explosion he was investigating. Besides the strangeness of receiving an email with a video like that, nothing had surprised him so far.
A few seconds later, in the video, a young man was walking below the camera, which appeared to be attached to the ceiling, wearing a large coat and carrying a backpack on his back, as well as a cap in his hand. He walked normally and, at a certain point, he looked back, seeming to be talking to someone who was far away and clearly smiling.
It must be a friend... — he thought.
The young man then entered the men's bathroom.
After a few seconds, Greg still didn't understand what the video meant, but he began to suspect when two strong, serious-looking white men wearing black suits came from the same direction as the young man and also entered the place. One of them, the tallest and most corpulent, appeared to have very light hair and was Benjamino with a wide chin and thick eyebrows. The other, not much shorter than his partner, had a smooth shaved head, a more slender face and a peculiarly shaped ear, similar to the ears of certain fighters.
What the hell are they going to do? — he wondered.
Have they done something to the boy?
A short time later, the young man left, adjusting his cap on his head, and returned in the direction he had come from.
Gregory paused the video. He observed the boy's clothing and then his expression.
Yes, it was him, Fadiq Al Faruj, the terrorist!
