We watch the people flowing through the streets as we go in search of the burgomasters. Drained, lifeless ghosts and sleepwalkers without even the strength to be frightened. They've been deprived of their Apocalypse, the Prophet is gone. Not the merest hint of God. But this is really the Last Easter, with the tombs uncovered and the souls of the dead wandering as they wait for judgement. Someone saw him being carried into heaven by the angels, someone else saw him being dragged to hell by a demon. They are crowding the streets, the market square, no longer with any desire to pray, because they don't know who or what is worth praying for. Clusters of people talking in low voices form all over the place. The situation needs to be taken in hand, we have to find Knipperdolling and Kibbenbrock before discouragement turns to panic.

We find the second burgomaster sitting on the steps of St Lamberti's, head lowered.

'Where's Knipperdolling?'

Confused: 'He was with me at the walls, and I haven't seen him since then.'

'Are you sure he's not in the church?'

He shakes his head. 'He hasn't come this way.'

We hurry towards the Cathedral square. I don't need to look at Gresbeck: we are harbouring the same dire presentiments.
