The Adventures of Rocky Jordan - Desert Betrayal

Old Time Radio Mysteries

On a particularly hot evening in Cairo, Rocky made his way toward the Nile river lagoon, hoping to catch a cool breeze. As he drew near, he heard the muezzin call the Muslim faithful to prayer from the minaret of the mosque. Not wanting to interfere, he hid in a small passageway that led to the winding stairs of the minaret. He waited until the sounds from the street told him that the prayers were complete. Suddenly, he heard a loud scream and looked up to see the bearded muezzin in his long flowing robes tumbling headlong down the stairs. The red splotches from stab wounds were spreading on his white robe. Rocky ran to him to help stop the bleeding, when he noticed another individual wearing a robe and heavy black field boots walking down the stairs toward him saying "this does not concern you". He then pulled out a Lugar and bashed Rocky across his face.
