The man beside him was his exact opposite in every way; this one was tall and lean. The pair looked like Laurel and Hardy standing side by side. Leah could see the gaunt man’s ribs protruding from under his starched white shirt, mirroring one of the concentration camp victims who’d starved to death under Himmler’s eager eye. His head was the shape of an egg, and any hair he’d once had was long gone.

He shook Bauer’s hand. It looked almost like he was concealing Mexican jumping beans under his skin; every muscle, every nerve he owned, seemed to be dancing. His cheeks went up and down and his eyes winked and blinked like a set of chaotic Christmas lights. His fingers curled and uncurled, like a man who couldn’t seem to grab on to the elusive brass ring that hung just beyond his reach.

Leah tried not to gasp when she focused on the third man. His eyes were yellow, with narrow black slits for pupils. They were the exact replica of the cat’s eyes from the beer hall. The man with the red-painted face was now standing before her unmasked. His eyebrows were plucked and shaped like he’d just stepped out of the salon to attend this illustrious dinner, and his suit was cleanly cut, clinging to his tall body like a second skin of silk. The bright white hair was pulled into a ponytail that hung down his back, resembling a cold, hard icicle that would burn the flesh if you stepped too close.

His eerie eyes focused on Leah, and a smile came to his face. “Didn’t I tell you that you would soon see Valhalla?”
