Wondery.
It was a warm October afternoon on the island of Malta.
A man sat on a rocky hillside under an almond tree, waiting.
He leant forward and peered through a telescope.
800 yards away, across the shallow valley, a limestone house glowed in the sun, surrounded by a lush garden.
Just then, the door of the house opened and a woman hurried out.
She was middle aged, with long, dark hair.
The man grabbed his phone and made a call.
He spoke into it as he watched her.
She crossed the garden, opened the gate, and hurried up to a small white Peugeot hatchback parked in the driveway.
Then she stopped as if she sensed something.
The man took a breath.
He lifted his eyes from the scope and looked at her across the valley.
She was standing near the car, motionless.
Then she turned and went back into the house.
The man muttered into the handset and hung up.
6 miles away, the man on the other end of the call lowered the phone.
He was standing on a small yacht, the Maya, floating near the breakwater in Malta's grand harbor.
