“But if you’re caught, you’ll be executed—shot or hanged—for spying.” She held out the camera.

She half wanted him to refuse the mission, for she could hardly bear the thought of the danger he would be in if he accepted. But, if he refused, could she ever respect him?

He did not take the camera. “Poul was the head of your Nightwatchmen.”

She nodded.

“I suppose most of our friends were in it.”

“Better that you don’t know—”

“Just about everyone except me.”

She nodded. She feared what was coming.

“You think I’m a coward.”

“It didn’t seem like your kind of thing—”

“Because I like parties, and I make jokes, and flirt with girls, you thought I didn’t have the guts for secret work.” She said nothing, but he was insistent. “Answer me.”

She nodded miserably.

“In that case, I’ll have to prove you wrong.” He took the camera.

She did not know whether to be happy or sad. “Thank you,” she said, fighting back tears. “You’ll be careful, won’t you?”

“Yes. But there’s a problem. I was followed to Bornholm.”

“Oh, hell.” This was something she had not anticipated. “Are you sure?”

“Yes. I noticed a couple of people hanging around the base, a man and a young woman. She was on the train to Copenhagen with me, then he was on the ferry. When I got here, he followed me on a bicycle, and there was a car behind. I shook them off a few miles outside Ronne.”

“They must suspect you of working with Poul.”

“Ironically, as I wasn’t.”

“Who do you think they are?”

“Danish police, acting under orders from the Germans.”

“Now that you’ve given them the slip, they undoubtedly feel sure you’re guilty. They must still be looking for you.”

“They can’t search every house in Bornholm.”
