The Acrobat

by Mike Dixon

Being with Roxanne was dangerous. The cute, all-American girl had changed since David last saw her . They were teenagers then. Ten years down the track she was scarcely recognizable as the exciting chick he had once known. Roxanne made his heart beat then. She still did but in a very different sort of way.
Her fans knew her as an acrobat who performed acts of great daring on the high wire. NATO intelligence agencies knew her as a person of interest. David cursed the day he agreed to be her minder. Looking after Roxanne was only part of his job. Spying on her was another.
Being a double agent was full of dangers. Friends could mistake him for an enemy. Enemies could use him. Roxanne’s family came from somewhere in the war zones of the Middle East. Just where was far from clear. David suspected Afghanistan but couldn’t be sure.
He knew the country and had no desire to return. His meetings with the Taliban and other extremists had been far from friendly. One way or another, Roxanne was leading him in that direction. She could speak the local languages and was formidable with a gun.
David was contracted to find out what she was doing. Then he was free to get well clear of her. That meant staying alive. Roxanne seemed to think she had nine lives. David knew he had only one.
