The cold of the north had made it's presence felt in the city of Gafur. Temperatures had dropped to 21 degrees in the last two days as in some parts snow was beginning to fall across the arid lands. The call for prayer sounded in the distance from a large speaker somewhere. The voice was soft and majestic sounding as the man sung in the Mahdavi language which was basically Turk. The sprawling metropolitan area of the city was endless it seemed. Office buildings and shops were everywhere, paved streets and people most of all. It was a seemingly average day in Gafur, nothing stirring in the mist, no crime at all. A all black armored truck moved down the streets of Gafur, followed by two black sedans as the small convoy made their way towards the industrial heartland of Gafur.
Inside the armored vehicle were stacks and stacks of clean unmarked bills , amounting to several million dollars in Mahdavian currency. The sedan's following the armored vehicle were the men responsible of a transaction that was going to occur. One of them was Yusef Shad a man born in Nasiriyah and was moved to Mahdah two decades ago. He was now a politician in the Imperial Emirate and held a seat in the Grand Assembly which has seats for over 200 persons of different backgrounds and positions in the Mahdavian government. When the war in Nasiriyah had started no less then six months ago during his first year of becoming a senator he had secretly disapproved of the occupation and supported the insurgency.
For the last two months he had been secretly laundering money to Al Hafa through his government pay checks that he would receive as pay for being a member of the Grand Assembly. He had become one of Al Hafa's prized assets in finance and a comrade over all. The convoy had pulled into a large warehouse building which was mostly empty and before them stood several well dressed men with beards standing in front of a Suburban waiting for them.
Yusef exited his sedan and with men of the National Police Force who he had bribed for protection came with him and approached the well suited men before them. They approached as well and they all shook hands as they got to business.
"Hello. You have the money in order , yes?" One of the suited men said calmly.
"Yes it's all in the truck over behind us" Yusef said pointing to the armored vehicle parked nearby.
"Let's check it out then." The man said as they all went to the armored vehicle and opened up the back to see what was inside. Silvier suitcases were stacked high inside the holding area. The suited men looked at them all and nodded with a smile.
One of the suited men hopped inside the holding place and opened up a suitcase and found cash, just what they wanted. He opened up a few more and found cash and closed them all and jumped out. He looked at Yusef and smiled,
"You have done much for our cause, brother. May allah grant you martyrdom in heaven." He then gave Yusef a hug and he accepted that as they then wrapped up the meeting with good bye's and the location of the next transaction.
