Michael looked down at the red-haired girl at his side and he smiled softly.

“So far, so good,” he murmured.

“We have been lucky,” the girl said. “Let us pray our luck holds.”

“It must hold,” Michael said grimly. Nothing more was said until they reached the blacked-out Unter den Linden and turned off on a deserted side street that led to the Central Intelligence offices.

“Do you know any of the staff at Central?” Michael asked quietly.

“No. Why?”

“It might have helped if you did. The problem of getting in at this hour of the morning might be difficult. But we’ll manage.”

“The office is in charge of Marshal von Umbreit,” the girl said, “but I know nothing of him.”

The car rolled to a smooth stop a few moments later in front of a modern, white-fronted building. The building was completely dark and sandbags were piled high against the walls.

The driver got out and opened the door.

“Will that be all, sir?” he asked.

Michael noticed that a half dozen guards were on patrol in front of the building and that two of them had halted and were watching the car.

“Yes,” Michael said, “that will be all.”

He stepped out into the dark street and gave his hand to Marie. When she stood beside him on the sidewalk the driver saluted jerkily, got back into the car and drove off.

Michael took the girl’s arm.

“Follow my lead,” he whispered. In a louder voice, he said, “Come, Fraulein, there is not a minute to lose.”

The words carried clearly in the dead silence of the night.

Michael saw the two guards moving slowly toward them, their booted feet sounding ominously on the hard sidewalk, but he pretended to be unaware of their presence.
