trip. A little further search of the web found that there was a special deal on tickets to Frankfurt, Germany, and they figured that they could fly to Germany and then continue their travel with one of the European low-cost airlines to Istanbul. These airlines did not care if you just purchased a one-way fare so they could save a considerable sum of money. They still had to overcome the other problems so they decided to concoct a heartbreaking cover story. They would claim that they had been on vacation in Vancouver when someone broke into their hotel room and stole their credit cards. Fortunately they had some cash and by selling their car – they had the documents to prove that – they raised some more. They received a message that Nagib's father was in a hospital in Istanbul and tradition dictated that Nagib as the eldest son, had to see him before he passed away. That would also explain why they couldn't wait for new credit cards and clarify why they had to pay cash as well as explain their Arab sounding names. They hoped this would be convincing and as a back-up Alia was ready to shed tears because of the bad fortune that transpired while narrating her story.
Obviously they couldn't buy their tickets on-line because using their credit cards would instantly alert the authorities, so they entered one of the few remaining travel agencies and explained their predicament. The polite travel agent examined their US passports, found nothing wrong and was favorably impressed by their appearance as solid citizens, so she didn't even mention the problems they had anticipated. They handed her the cash, received the printed tickets and walked out of the office holding hands. There were direct flights from Vancouver to Frankfurt but the cheapest fare they found was operated by Icelandair and was scheduled to take off early the following morning. They were not worried about the stopover in Reykjavik because they were convinced that no one would be looking for them there.

The first task force, responsible for locating Nagib and Alia was clueless as to their whereabouts. The couple had been traced to California, the used-car lot in Pasadena where they had traded in their fancy Toyota for a cheap sedan had been found by the Pasadena police that alerted the junior FBI agent. The dealer instantly recognized Nagib from the photo the agent had shown him but said that he did not get a good look at Alia. He described the car he sold he sold them as an old Nissan in excellent mechanical condition and gave them the license plate registration number. He added that they looked pressed for cash and that he was very pleased with the good deal he had made with the trade in. When asked if they gave an address in Pasadena he said that he thought that they mentioned a cheap motel nearby, and when asked if they said where they were headed he answered that they didn't speak much. He neglected to repeat the joke on "the 5-50 guarantee" which was not really surprising.
The FBI agent looked at his map and saw that there were only two motels near the dealership. The woman at the reception desk of the first motel sighed when the agent approached her and showed her the photos of Nagib and Alia. She mumbled something about police harassment and confirmed that they had stayed a few nights at the motel. She mentioned that they had paid cash and kept to themselves, adding that those were the kind of guests that were most welcome. She said she knew nothing about their past, present and future plans, and really couldn't care less where they had come from and where they were going to. The FBI agent didn't even bother to ask to see their room and reported the news to the senior FBI agent, Penny, who was in Los Alamos.
The meeting of the task force proceeded. The fact that the couple had been seen in Pasadena a mere two days earlier was encouraging as it indicated that they were in no hurry to leave the country, because this could
