HAIRY RISK TAKER, A NOVEL

                                                           CHAPTER FOUR
The morning after Hairy's arrival in Cairo, he was dressed casually and wearing his tap dancing shoes. They were leather oxfords with heavy steel toe taps and heels. In the states he had to register them as deadly weapons. He was clicking and clacking through the lobby of the Concord  El Sadam Hotel. He was half way through the elegant lobby when he turned into a quiet game room. There was a bearded man sitting alone in front of a chess table with 
a board set with Staunton pieces. He said,"ahlan wa sahlan". Hairy sat down and said "ahlan bik." The man was Patrick Dennis Fero, aka the Tsar." He was a chess master who was an undercover agent for NSA, and an old friend of Hairy's. His alias in Egypt was Amed U-Checkmeit. He had made friends with Muhammad Badie. For fear of listening devices, Hairy and Amed communicated with a complicated system of eye blinking. They were blinking furiously and Amed said that Badie was expected at any moment to watch the game.

Sure enough, a few moments later, Muhammad Badie walked into the room. After the usual Egyptian greeting, Amad introduced Hairy to Muhammad Badie. Hairy smiled and stood up. He gave Badie the customary limp hand shake and kissed him on each cheek. Then, he viciously head butted him in the face. Badie dropped to the floor like a limp dish rag. When he hit the floor, Hairy kicked him in the solar plexus and then in the temple. Badie was dead but there was no bloody mess on the floor. To show his excitement, Hairy did a stomp and a stamp and a Gene Kelly classic tap dance move. Amed gave him the universal thumbs up sign. Then they carried Badie outside and deposited him in the dumpster. Hairy said to Amed, "Tomorrow, I will find Muhammed ibn Saeed ibn al-Aziz al Filasteeni and Muhammad ABD-Al-AZIZ and tap dance them to death!
