You figure that whoever murdered Spider is likely to still be around the scene, or at least be coming back later, if they took the trouble of displaying his body like that. You decide to go back and check the surrounding area, carefully.

Heading back in that direction, you notice a small house about half a mile away from where Spider was killed. The small house is located on a hill overlooking the murder scene. It would be a perfect place for the killers to hide and keep an eye on whoever visited Spider's body.

You approach the house cautiously, moving from cover to cover - a tree, a boulder, whatever you can find - on the way up. Your Walther PPK, silencer attached, is in your hand.

A side window is open. The sound of men's voices, speaking in Arabic, is carried to you. Hiding behind a large tree only a few yards from the house, you listen. You feel your body tense as your eavesdropping reveals that these men were indeed the ones who killed Spider. They also rigged his body with explosives that would go off as soon as someone cut the body down.

You learn that these men are al-Qaeda terrorists who want to overthrow Assad and turn Syria into a theocratic state that is a save haven for terrorists. You ponder your next move.
