They made it back to the jeep without running into Americans. Dusk was approaching, and the air had cooled further. The major unlocked one end of the cuffs and relocked it to the seat frame on the passenger side of the jeep. De Fresne had been quiet during the walk, treading carefully with his hands locked behind him, afraid of falling and not being able to catch himself. The American had walked a few paces behind him, his rifle in a ready position and trained on the Frenchman’s back.

“Where to now?” asked de Fresne.

“Out of Germany.”

“Not France, I hope.”

“Holland.”

“What’s there?”

“Transportation Stateside.”

“Then what?”

“You’ll see.”

“I’d like to know where I’m going.”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Okay.”

The American negotiated the ruined streets of Frankfurt and out into the country. Military Police checkpoints were situated every few miles on the main roads. At each stop, the major showed his credentials and explained that he had captured the prisoner in Frankfurt. No, the prisoner didn’t have any ID. He’d lost it while on the run. The major had been after him for three months, and had finally caught up with him. He’d been selling information and weapons to the enemy. The private had been hiding in other military units while on the run. With the fluidity of the front, a lot of men were losing contact with their units and were attaching themselves to the first outfit they found. It wasn’t unusual for a strange soldier to be with a unit for a few days and then disappear back to his old company.

They stopped overnight near the French border. “I’m going to turn you over to an MP outfit for the night. They’ll feed you and give you a cot in a cell. I’ll tell them you’re not to be interrogated. Don’t make small talk. You might get tripped up on some little thing that any American would know about and you don’t. If anybody is persistent in trying to talk to you, tell them you are under orders from me to keep your mouth shut.”
