Chapter Six: Messenger
Ian Dennis flew into Larnaca International Airport on Cyprus, but he had another airport in mind.
In 1974, Turkey invaded Cyprus and the Nicosia International Airport, once the island’s principal air hub, was the site of extremely violent encounters between Turkish and Cypriot forces and was heavily bombed. Today, it is deserted, officially closed and, located within the UN controlled buffer zone, has been declared a Protected Area used as the headquarters of the UN peacekeeping force.
Fortunately, Ian has a few connections at the UN and in Cyprus security so he arranged for a private visit. He had a meeting this morning with her.
She stepped out from behind a security wall at what was once the Health Control centre.
“I see you continue to abide by the rules of British punctuality, Ian.”
“And you remain mysterious as ever.” He indicated a direction by waving his right arm and she joined him on an uncharacteristically casual stroll through the ruins.
