- 2006:- Anjelica Hayden-Hoyle berates her husband for his cowardly stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict whilst Ephra and Rachel celebrate their daughter's birth. Nessa travels to the West Bank to unveil the university funded by the family foundation, meeting her translator Atika. However the university principal queries why the money should be forthcoming, suggesting that it was sent to Gaza instead. Nessa cannot understand why and gets no joy from a call to Ephra so she and Atika set off for Gaza, where they are abducted by Al-Zahid for a ransom. Nessa rings Ephra and he asks Julia Walsh for help. She contacts Monica but there is no immediate ransom and Nessa and Atika are sexually assaulted, Atika killing her rapist.—don @ minifie-1
- With the information given to him by Hugh Hayden-Hoyle, Ephra challenges Atika's long held claim that Kasim's father was their driver who died when she and Nessa were kidnapped in Gaza eight years ago. Before the kidnapping, it was a good time for Ephra and Nessa. His daughter Judith had just been born, their foundation's investment in educational facilities were now bearing fruit and Shlomo Zahary's was about to roll out phase 1 of their telecommunications project. Nessa left for Israel the following week to officially open the new computer faculty they've funded and there met Atika, her translator, for the first time. When Nessa learns that the school knows nothing of a recent $1.5 million donation she and Atika head to Gaza, an area the Steins do not deal with. It's there that they are kidnapped and held for ransom. Ephra clearly knows more than he's letting on and contacts Julia Walsh, then Head of the Middle East desk of MI-6. She has strong advice for him.—garykmcd
