Four times lucky?

I spoke with Melaku tonight and we are going to go to the airport for the fourth time tomorrow afternoon to get the Dell. I have no confidence in our speaking with Ato Yosef doing anything productive. One never knows; I would love to take Melaku into the secure area with me, but last time we went together he was not allowed in. If things get silly, having habesha there might be helpful, not to mention his ability to wade through what could easily deteriorate into a huge load of BS.
