-What are you building here, my brave one?

-Nothing at all. Get out of the way.

-All right, all right, all right, all right. Have a nice day.

-That's right, don't hang around here next time.

Nabil liked to wander around his town and stick his nose in other people's business. Todayhe wanted to take an interest in the new buildings that were being built on the outskirts of thecity, unfortunately the workers didn't seem cooperative. So he was going to have toinvestigate himself. The curious man waited until nightfall and the construction site wasdeserted before he could enter. Alas, he found little information and since the work had onlyjust begun, he could not really guess what the final building would look like. In the days thatfollowed, he stayed fairly close to the new buildings in the hope of being able to gatherinformation. He was beginning to wonder about these facilities because no one in the cityknew what was going on here, he had done all the bars adjacent to the construction but noone had the slightest idea and some hadn't even noticed.

- You should stop rummaging through other people's stuff man.

As Nabil walked out of the bar, a man sitting on the sidewalk lacing up his shoes raised hishead to look at the person he was talking to.

- Okay, I'll make a note of that.

- I'm serious.

- Just do it.

Nabil continued on his way without worrying about the man who had spoken to him, he wasused to threats and knew how to ignore them, only today his assailant was not going toleave him alone so easily. Seeing that he was being followed, he turned around and sighed.

- I know that you are one of the people building the buildings north of the city and yourbehavior makes you even more suspicious than I thought. Now please leave me alone.

- You think you're going to get out of this so easily? We've been watching you revolvearound our constructions for several days now. My boss just wants to send you a warning.

- I wish he would have warned me himself but I'll settle for that. I live right here, can I gohome now?

- That's right, go home and stay there.

Nabil entered a house that was anything but his own, fortunately no one ever closes thedoors in this town.

- Excuse me for barging in, I'll only be a few minutes.

He locked the two women who were sitting in the living room at the entrance to the kitchenwith a kind of all-terrain anti-theft device and installed almost invisible cameras in thewindows overlooking the street. Now that he had shown where he lived, he was certain thatthe men of this mysterious organization would return. After his installation, he opened thedoor and handed two guns to the women.
