The instruction was specific: 'This package must be delivered personally to Pablo, and to him alone. No witnesses."
He arrived in Paris and spent several days tracking down the man named Pablo. Finally he located him. But he found out Pablo was not alone. He has a woman with him. Somehow he has to get Pablo alone or at least no one to witness him handing over the package.
That night he approached the hotel where Pablo was staying. He waited for him to return to his room. It was way past midnight when the man showed up. The way he walked, the way they both walked, suggested they'd been drinking heavily. The female companion was with him. He waited for them to settle in. An hour after the lights were switched off, he knocked on the door. Once. Loud enough for someone still awake to hear it. Then he stood away from the door and waited. There was no response. None was expected yet. He counted the seconds.
Ten minutes later he knocked again. And he waited and counted another fifteen minutes. Once more he knocked.
Perhaps the woman is still awake and Pablo cannot risk it. If that is the case, he'll have to wait and try again. Another hour. Or until morning. No it cannot be in the morning. This mission is too risky to be carried out during daylight hours. He'll have to wait until nightfall again.
He approached the door again and raised his hand. His hand froze before it reached the door. Forget it. Tonight's over. Another knock and it will raise suspicion. Pablo is a careful man. That's how he survived this long.
