Executive Power 13-14

As we move from the setting of the Oval Office from CH 12 to central Baghdad we once again reunite with David. He is sitting in his hotel thinking about all the problems he is encountering in life. There is numerous pages describing the kinda place he is living in since he was born. David tells of the numerous spies watching on the sides of streets in downtown Baghdad. Spies working for Saddam, Israel, Palestine, and who knows the others. As quickly as it came, the thinking leaves and David is onto planning for his job that needs to be accomplished. He gets intel that Genral Hamza is staying in a hotel 5 blocks from their previous meeting place. David puts on his disguise and without telling the General, books a room two stories above the Generals. Once he is all set up in his room, David dresses up in all black, with leather gloves and a black cotton beanie that he pulls over his face. We put together the inferences that after David picks up a coil of rope and a silenced pistol he is about to complete some business.
"Loosening his grip ever so slightly, David slithered slowly down the rope until his foot touched the railing of the balcony beneath." (pg 200)
As David opens the glass door on Hamza's balcony he finds the General in bed with a very underaged girl. David quickly shoots the body guards next to the front door and shoots Hamza. As quickly as he arrived he is out the bacony and climbing to his room.
