Assem Akram - The '1492' Conspiracy

Ava was able to gather the information allowing us to identify Father Emilio Ungari’s friend, the discreet whistle-blower – so to speak – who had been the primary relay of information permitting Interpol to get involved in the investigation of the plot dubbed ‘1492.’

Some astute research on the Internet had allowed us to find his address. We decided to pay him a little visit. It would have certainly been more courteous to call ahead to make an appointment, but then we figured that perhaps he would deny us such a privilege and act as if he didn’t know what it was all about. To avoid wasting precious time, we decided to show up at his door – a little bit cavalierly perhaps, but efficient. Besides, nothing can replace a nice chat between friends of friends in the friend’s home…

The house was one of those late Eighteenth Century villas in Georgetown, made of red bricks and very appealing in appearance. Emilio was right when he said that his friend belonged to a wealthy family: this piece of real estate must be worth millions. We walked passed the bricked alley surrounded by trees and rang the doorbell repeatedly, but nobody answered. We decided that we would stick around until somebody shows up.
