As Miriam and David walked down the hall on the familiar eighth floor of the Hador Dafing Building, a number of those working saw them and reacted with either clapping or a two fisted thumbs up. The returning Mossad team reacted with waves and smiles, embarrassed that they were thusly greeted. David knocked on a door with out a number or name and without waiting for response held the door open for Miriam.
Without turning from his view of the Mediterranean Levi responded to their entry with, “Ready to go to work again, you two?”
“What do you mean go to work again? You promised us a rest!”
Levi swiveled in his chair to face them, grinning. “I know I did. I am just kidding you. You both have earned the gratitude of our country and you shall have your rest. If we gave out metals for your kind of service, I’d be the first to pin one on each of you, but we don’t. So instead, I have reserved a suite for you at the Blue Bay Hotel and Spa in Netanya for a week. I understand that this is one of your favorite places and one where you two have tried to hide from me on a number of occasions.
Miriam looked at David and blushed. “How did you know” She asked.
“Well we are an intelligence agency after all. That’s what we do, gather intelligence. I want you to just have fun, not think about Geneva, Munich, Emeralds or me, for a whole week in Netanya. And I don’t want to see you for another month. Think you can do that for me?”
David stood up and hugged Miriam and looking over her shoulder I know it will be hard not to think of the past couple of years, but for you, I think we can manage that.”
Laughing, Levi got up for his chair and came around and enfolded his two combatants in a bear hug. “Now get out of here, you two.”
