Will, Karl, Franz To Eva

The following few days came with an ease I could not explain. The four of us settled into a pattern of exercise, breakfast, work, break, work, supper, reading, games or both, and sleep. All tensions about anything were quietly relieved. New arrangements for Will and Karl’s return to Vienna were planned. With a full understanding of the role Schmidt played, we tore apart everything. We combed through our cryptography, ensuring all of it was unique. We scrutinized our invention and design. Then, we practiced with just the transmitters unplugged from the machine. One person transmitting, all of us decoding, rotating to a new person for transmission every time. The person transmitting composed their private message, which none was privy to. Then we practiced more. Everyone began to know the codes, not perfectly, but enough to begin deciphering without the keys to some degree. The exception being Will, of course, who knew it all from the first glance.

Early Monday morning, only a few hours away, I would take Will to Salzburg in the old truck. From there, he would make his way to the train station in the city and return to Vienna. Fritzy would return to Innsbruck with Karl. They would make a night of it, and Karl would return to Vienna via the train from Innsbruck. As much as I wanted to send one of the radios with Karl, they were not mine to send. We would need to wait for Henry to arrive before making those decisions.

In the evening, Klaus found me in the turret alone. After several hours of relaying and decoding messages, we all stepped away for a break before supper.

“Mein Herr, my apologies for disturbing you, but a letter has just arrived. The courier said it was of the utmost importance and for you to receive it directly. The courier awaits a reply in the vestibule.” Klaus handed me the envelope.

I opened the unmarked envelope and caught the subtle smell of Madame Reneé.
