“COLONEL MERKUR TO see the commandant,” the approaching officer announced, pushing the bound woman before him with the barrel of his Luger.

“I’m sorry, Colonel Merkur, but Colonel Kahler is occupied at present,” said the gate guard, his greatcoat buttoned up against the cold and his helmet pushed down firmly on his head.

“I’m sure he is, private,” Merkur said, “but he’ll want to know about this.” The officer prodded the woman again with his gun. “I’ve captured another one of them.”

Voight looked the young woman up and down. Her svelte figure was clad in dark, tight-fitting fatigues, her wrists tied with what looked like one of the Colonel’s bootlaces.

Private Voight hesitated for a moment, uncertain what to do. He didn’t want to disturb the commandant’s meeting with the Devil, but if Colonel Merkur had caught up with another enemy spy, the others should probably know about it too.

“Yes, of course, Herr Colonel,” he said, turning back to the gateway behind him, signalling for his companion on the other side to raise the checkpoint barrier and open the gates. “Right away.”

The Colonel pushed his captive towards the gate once again, causing the woman to stumble and fall against Voight.

Before the private could even utter a grunt of surprise, his own gun was pulled from his hands and his legs kicked out from under him.

He fell to the ground, landing on his hands and knees. And there was the girl standing over him, her hands somehow free, and his gun in her hands.

There was a muffled report and the other guard dropped to the ground, groaning softly, his hands to his stomach.

In the instant it took the private to realise what was happening, there was another gunshot and Voight never heard anything else ever again.
