The Rainy Day Man: Contemporary Romance (Suspense And Political Mystery Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
The following days, which marked some festival or commemoration, provided an excuse for waiting. Work stopped in the village. Processions left from the church and wended their way to sacred trees and graves which were scattered over the mountain. My man, it could be assumed, was in one of them, too experienced and wise to reveal himself before life returned to normal. Tel Aviv had not made contact either. Perhaps they assumed that the connection had not yet been established, or they were working slowly, calculatedly, preparing my mission down to the last detail. Scheckler was the only one who ventured guesses. With rapid, hopeful sentences, he enveloped my presence with endless speculations: "...It's unusual for someone like you to suddenly appear in a place like this. There's got to be a reason. Everything that's happening along the coast is just a diversion, isn't it? The real action's going to be here. Whoever controls the mountains controls all of Lebanon... That's what the paratroops said before they left. Where are they now, the paratroops? Hiding somewhere? Waiting for the order? You can tell me..." The attention he lavished on me constituted royal favor, as it were. He was the bureaucratic governor of the place, the brain and to a certain extent the leader too. He was the only one who knew his way around the maze of forms, rules and regulations. On the basis of the paragraphs he cited, leave time, activity time and the pace of life were determined. His orders, which included a plethora of military abbreviations and initials, protected the officer in charge of the repair shop from having to contend with over thirty homesick drivers and mechanics. Scheckler provided them with a faithful copy of the culture which they were used to, turning the repair shop into something very Israeli in character: an island of activity in what was regarded as a sea of rural indolence.
