By the time they arrived back at Kromer’s office, Cohen’s memory of what had transpired was becoming hazy, so much so that he was inclined to feel that he must have been dreaming. Kromer seemed to have slipped back into his former lethargy and was once more concerning himself with paperwork.

Cohen watched him sit down in front of his computer monitor. On the desk in front of it was a sheet of paper that Kromer must have scrawled on earlier.

‘But what have I written here?’ he asked Cohen.

Cohen stepped away from the table. He was suddenly fearful.

Back in his own office, he saw at once that the papers he’d been working on had been taken away. Franklin had left him a memorandum stating that he was not pleased with Cohen’s attempts at letter writing, indeed, he had felt obliged to refer the matter to his own superior.

Cohen looked down at his suit and found that it had become crumpled and soiled. His chin was unshaven. Just how long he had been here it was now impossible to tell. Moreover, it didn’t seem to matter. He finished reading the memorandum from Franklin and read the words: ‘It is time that we took punitive action.’

From somewhere back along the corridor Cohen heard quiet laughter, but there was no humour in it.
