Like peixinho, I'm quite sympathetic towards the 'villains'. I have a good friend who is Egyptian and lives in Egypt. He has a university degree that would be considered a good one elsewhere, but he works as a repair man because of the lack of opportunity. And it's a good job compared to the people around him, many of whom are desperately impoverished. It's an impossible situation for them...
That said I've been wondering for half the story if the two missing workmen were the culprits!
And great reveal!
