LXII

Louis returned to the safe house to discover Parker waiting in the kitchen, his suitcase by his feet. Angel sat at the table, drinking coffee. He looked better for a few hours of rest. Anouk was preparing something in a pot for supper. Whatever it was, it was heavy with paprika.

‘Change of plan?’ said Louis.

‘You and Angel have this in hand,’ said Parker. ‘These are your people, so I suspect you always had. I’m going to London. Join me when you’re done.’

‘Johnston?’

‘Call it caution. I think I was wrong to let him go on ahead without us. I’ve been feeling that way since we got off the plane at Schiphol.’

Louis shared with Parker what he had learned about Cornelie Gruner from De Jaager, and the three men agreed among them a plan of action to investigate the activities of the former.

‘I’m sorry I won’t get to meet him,’ said Parker, as Paulus pulled up outside to take him back the airport – at, Parker hoped, a speed that wouldn’t leave his eyeballs pressed into his brain like raisins in dough.

‘Gruner, or De Jaager?’

‘On reflection, both.’

‘I’ll pass on your regards to De Jaager – and Gruner, although maybe not in the same way.’

‘You step carefully.’

‘Always do.’

‘Except, it seems, when you’re getting shot,’ said Anouk, without diverting her attention from the stove.

‘Yes,’ Louis admitted. ‘Except then.’
