At three in the morning, Colonel Habermehl found the De Rosa episode much more amusing than it had seemed to Bora. Laughing until he had tears in his eyes, he asked for more details.

“There isn’t much else to say, Herr Oberst. I was bracing myself for a tasteless scene, Italian-style, but Bruni’s husband was so disappointed to find me alone instead of De Rosa in good company, he couldn’t even keep up his fury. He started bawling in front of me, and gave me an earful about faithless women.”

“And you? What did you tell him?”

“Nothing. What could I tell him? My only reason for being there was to find out the address of the man who fought with Lisi. I needed to keep De Rosa in one piece for the time necessary to hear the information. Fortunately Bruni left without seeking redress. A few minutes later De Rosa showed up, out of breath. It seems he hid himself in the porter’s booth on the ground floor, and had been praying to all the saints while Bruni climbed the stairs to catch them by surprise.”

Habermehl poured himself an abundant nightcap. “Good thing you chanced upon the love scene! Tomorrow we’re stuck with the joint operation plan, but you will follow up on the new lead the day after tomorrow?”

If he shut his eyes, Bora could see the ants labouring up Gerhard’s bloody side. “No, sir. The day after tomorrow I’m on patrol.”
