Amir goes to rescue Sohrab and meets the Taliban official in chapters 21-22 of "The Kite Runner." It is at this time that Amir realizes that the Taliban official is the same bully from his childhood who beat up and raped Hassan. The official "removes his glasses, and Amir realizes the official is actually Assef. Assef says he can have Sohrab, but first he has to earn him."
Amir has come full circle and now will face the fear and demons he has run from his entire life. He will face Assef.
