Fresnes Prison

ODETTE WAS MAKING HER way to the sewing room when Trude motioned to her with a conspiratorial wave. They went into an open cell and Trude said, “Frau Churchill, I have something to tell you concerning your husband.”

Odette sat to brace herself, nerves twitching. “Tell me.”

“He has been taken away yesterday.”

Taken away. Euphemism for horizontal exit. “Has he been shot? I want to know. I am strong enough to know the truth.”

“No. He has been taken to Berlin, to Gestapo headquarters in the Prinz Albrechtstrasse, for interrogation.”

Prinz Albrechtstrasse. It made 84 Avenue Foch look like Scarborough Fair. Everyone knew about their dungeons and tortures and confession killings. Dribble out the last betrayal and then the bucket to wash out the blood.

Odette absorbed it with composure. Today Peter was alive. Tomorrow he would be alive. And after the war, she told herself, he would be alive.
