Hernan Sanchez’ face lit up with pleasure when the two women arrived at his apartment. He had been in a quandary ever since he had read the report written by Ramon Vega. Whether he liked it or not, he was implicated in some of the shadier goings on of that era. He was ashamed that he had profited from the expulsion of the Jews from Calderon, having never imagined that similar policies would lead to the death camps in Germany and Poland. He had been young and influenced by the excitement of the fascist slogans and uniforms and talk of world domination. This fascination had disappeared when he learned about the final solution but not before he had earned some money building roads and houses for the new arrivals. Of course, Gloria did not know about any of this and he wanted it to stay that way. Ramon’s report would stay secret.

Despite his misgivings on the subject he had decided not to warn Gloria off the search for Alfredo. He did not appreciate being told what to do and Holger Ponce had crossed a line with his rude intervention. But he had a condition.

‘Papi, how are you?’ said Gloria.

‘Mr. Sanchez, it’s so nice to see you again,’ said Sam

‘I’m well, thank you. What a pleasure to see you both. I was bored here by myself.’

‘Our visit is going to be vexing for you but I need your help, Papi.’

‘Does it by any chance have anything to do with that rogue, Alfredo Vargas?’ said Hernan, wrinkling his brow in a mock serious manner that even Sam found amusing.

‘How did you know?’

‘Honestly darling, you don’t imagine that you can keep secrets from me?’

‘I should have realised that it was unlikely. I’m so sorry that I’ve been lying to you about him. I did mean to tell you. It’s not easy to be apart from someone you love.’

‘I am not pleased, but I love you and I know how it is.’

‘Papi, Alfredo is missing. I’m so worried about him. He went to the mountains with an American journalist and they’ve not come back. They may be injured or stranded somewhere.’

‘And what’re they doing up there, may I ask?’

‘They were looking for a fugitive German officer from the second world war,’ said Sam. ‘It’s pretty likely to be a rumour, but there could be some truth to the matter, and we’re worried that they have got themselves in trouble.’

‘So, you two fine young women are going to rescue the men from peril? There’s something wrong with this story.’

‘That’s why we’re here. You don’t think we would try to do this without your help, do you?’

‘I can guess what help you want, or should I say whose? That’s my condition for allowing you to go on this mad adventure so we’re in agreement. I’ll ring Segundo tonight and have him meet you at your apartment tomorrow at dawn.’

‘Thank you, Mr. Sanchez. We’ll feel a lot safer if Segundo is with us. He’s quite a formidable person.
