The Algerian section of Paris lies between the tenth and eleventh arrondissements, barely three blocks, where the low buildings are Parisian but the sounds and the smells are ArabicThe insignia of the high church small but emblazoned in gold on its doors, a long black limousine entered this ethnic enclaveIt stopped in front of a wood-framed, three-story house, where an old priest got out and walked to the doorHe selected a name on the mail plate and pressed the button that rang a bell on the second floor ?Oui?? said the metallic voice on the primitive hermes kelly intercom ?I am a messenger from the American embassy,? answered the visitor in religious garb, his French partially ungrammatical as was all too frequent with Americans?I can?t leave my vehicle, but we have an urgent message for you ?I?ll be right down,? said the French Algerian driver recruited by Charles Casset in Washington Three minutes later the man emerged from the building and walked out on the short narrow pavement?What are you dressed like that for?? he asked the messenger who stood by the large automobile, covering the insignia on the rear door ?I?m the Catholic chaplain, my sonOur military charg? d?affaires would like a word with you ?I?ll do many things for you people,? laughed the driver as he bent down to look inside the limousine, ?but being drafted into your army isn?t one of themYes, sir, what can I do for you?? ?Where did you take our people?? asked the shadowed figure in the backseat, his features in darkness ?What people?? said the Algerian, sudden cartier santos 100 xl men watch concern in his voice ?The two you picked up at the airport several hours agoThe cripple and his friend ?If you?re from the embassy and they want you to know, they?ll call and tell you, won?t they??
