THE GREEN KING (part 69)

The Candlesticks
of Bogota
At the end of
November, Reb Klimrod was given a new assignment. First, he completely changed
both his identity and his work. He was given papers that identified him as
Pierre Hubrecht, born in Paris in 1926 – an assumed name he was to use at least
two more times. The curriculum vitae given him specified that his mother was
Jewish and had disappeared in Paris in 1942, and that his father, a career
officer who had chosen to fight on the side of the Free French, had been killed
in Syria, where he had been joined by his son, after a detour in Spain.
Although all of these biographical details were perfectly authentic, they had
nothing to do with Reb Klimrod; but they did explain his knowledge of French
and rudimentary Arabic.
As for his knew
work, these papers gave him access to a bank in the business centre in Tel
Aviv, the Hakim & Senechal bank, whose central office was in Beirut. He
started as a runner. One of the Hakim brothers was a silent partner funding the
Irgun, but that was not the only reason Reb was soon promoted; he was simply a
little too bright to be a runner. Around mid-December, he was working as a
money broker. He was only seventeen, although his passport said he was twenty.
Another cange marked his separation from Bainish. The latter had left Tel Aviv
for Jerusalem and now specialized in attemps against the rail roads and
pipeline of Iraqi Petroleum Company.
