What plan did the general Tamika made to get rid of the American soldier

“It would be best if he could be quietly killed,” the

General said. “Not by you, but by someone who does not

know him. I have my own private assassins. Suppose I

send two of them to your house tonight or better, any night.

You need know nothing about it. It is now warm — what

would be more natural than that you should leave the

outer partition of the white man’s room open to the garden

while he sleeps?”

“Certainly it would be very natural,” Sadao agreed. “In

fact, it is so left open every night.”

“Good,” the General said, yawning. “They are very

capable assassins — they make no noise and they know

the trick of inward bleeding. If you like I can even have

them remove the body.”

Sadao considered. “That perhaps would be best,

Excellency,” he agreed, thinking of Hana.
