The separation was currently a matter of less concern to Navrátil than the state of his bladder. Coffee and beer were working it hard each day and he was beginning to wonder whether it was medically possible to wear your waterworks out. But, on the plus side, he was getting some very encouraging responses and it seemed likely that the contact that he had expected to take weeks might arrive in the very near future.

He had taken to having a late afternoon nap as a means of making it through to the end of the evening in the bar and decided that he could do with a run to shake off the lethargy of sitting all day nibbling on unhealthy food. Having carefully locked his room he pulled his sweatshirt over his head, stepped out into the street and began to run.

The run was not too hard so he completed it by sprinting the last four hundred metres, other pedestrians permitting, and as he let himself into his room he could see the trap he had left had been sprung. He had dragged the rug over to the door and carefully closed it with one corner of the rug lapped up the door. The idea was that if anyone went into the room they would push the rug back, realise that this would give the game away, and therefore flatten it out in what they would presume was its original position.

And that was exactly what he was looking at now. The ballpoint pen he had left pointing to the third line of his notes was now two lines further down the page. Reaching under the bed he checked his bag and could see that someone had opened it and rummaged inside, but they did not appear to have detected the false bottom.

Somebody seemed to be interested in him. He was glad that he had ensured that there was no evidence that he was a policeman and that his mobile phone was clipped to his waistband. It contained no real pointers to his work, unless you knew that “JS” was Slonský and “Kristýna” was Peiperová, but there were one or two texts in his correspondence with her that he would not have wanted anyone else to read due to their extremely affectionate character. Needless to say, Peiperová had written them.
