Hotel Vier Jahrezeiten

Munich Germany

Schloss kept the reception short and had returned to his suite intending to wrestle some more with the never-ending mountain of paper that consumed his working days. The hotel kitchen had sent up a rolling buffet table with light snacks and sandwiches. Schloss limited himself to a cup of coffee. Rainer eased into the suite and walked over to the table where Schloss worked.

“We had some excitement this evening,” Karl Rainer said.

“How so?” Heinrich Schloss asked.

“Herr Reichschancellor,” Rainer said, “the American girl succeeded in making contact with the Heydrich group.”

“And what happened?”

“She would not say much about her adventure. One of my men saw her leave the hotel with Konrad Mussen, and had the initiative to call me. I had people watching her. She apparently dove out of a window of their safe house to escape. We were quartering the neighborhood and discovered her running along the street.”

“A very lucky woman,” Schloss said.

“A very gutsy woman. Unfortunately, our friends had already left the safe house when we arrived. We did recover some documents and our people are conducting a thorough search of the property as I speak.”

“Did she confirm it was Heydrich?”

“She did. I’m having our people put her on the train to Berlin tomorrow. She did us a big favor, you know.”

“I realize that,” Schloss said. “If she had managed to get herself killed, though, there is no telling how the Americans would have reacted.”

“I had that thought as well.”

“Very well, Karl. I appreciate you being so quick off the mark. Let me know of any further developments. We simply must run Heydrich to ground.”

“I understand Herr Reichschancellor.”

“Have a good evening, Karl.”

“The work will still be here in the morning, Herr Reichschancellor.”

“Lord, I hope not,” Schloss said with a wry smile.

“You should get some rest.”

“So says Frau Marsden and Gisela.”

“You should listen to them,” Rainer said.

“Ah, yes, I cannot escape my minders; even in Munich. I plan to only work for another hour or so.”

“Very well, Sir.”

“Good night, Karl.”

“And you, Sir.”
