TWELVE

When we got back to the kitchen, Njal stood up.

“I must sleep. You have a room for me?”

D’Arcy nodded. “Of course. Main patio, up the far stairs, first door.” He turned to me. “I had Maria make up the beds when you said you were coming.”

“Yuh, thanks.” To me, Njal said, “What time you want to leave in the morning?” He looked at his watch. “Is quarter to five.”

I thought about it. “Mid morning: eleven, twelve.”

He gave me the thumbs up and left. Timmerman watched me and D’Arcy sit at the table and sighed. “I also could sleep. It has been an exhausting day.”

D’Arcy gave him a sympathetic smile that offered little hope. “I’ll show you to your room very shortly, Mr. Timmerman. I am very sorry about this, but we need to ask you just a couple of questions first.”

“Alors…” he spread his hands. “Ask.”

Before D’Arcy could speak, I said, “Explain to Mr. D’Arcy what Omega’s view of the British withdrawal from the European Union is.”

I caught D’Arcy’s startled glance, so did Timmerman. He gave a tired smile and shook his head.

“You are a very devious, dangerous man, Mr. Walker. So, Mr. D’Arcy does not know about Omega, but he works, I imagine, for the British Department of Intelligence. No doubt it is the Secret Intelligence Service. You need to make him aware of Omega, but you need also for him to see us in the negative light, as a threat to Britain, so you ask, how does Omega view Brexit.” He shook his head again. “Very well.” He studied D’Arcy’s face a moment. “Omega does not want a breakdown of the Union, Mr. D’Arcy. There are dark times coming in the near future, and Omega believes that a united Europe, with Britain at the heart of the Union, has a better chance of success in surviving these dark times than with a disunited, fractured Union. Therefore, we oppose Britain’s departure, and we work behind the scenes to prevent it.”

D’Arcy flopped back in his chair and stared at Timmerman. “You’re serious,” he said. “You are actually quite serious.”

“I am very serious, Mr. D’Arcy. And believe me, Mr. Walker is doing you no favors by making you aware of our existence.”

“Why…” He glanced at me, frowning, trying to get his head around what was happening. “Why are you telling me this? Why are you here?”

Timmerman looked at me with interest. They were the questions he was asking himself too.

I said, “You don’t need to know that, D’Arcy. I will give you the names of Omega’s operatives in the U.K. In exchange, you help me.”

“Help you how? What do you need?”

“I need to dye Timmerman’s hair and change his clothes. We had to leave our weapons in Paris, so we need a couple of automatics, and a few hours’ sleep. I need to use the house in Torre de Olvera. And above all, I need your word you won’t alert the authorities.”

For the next hour, D’Arcy debriefed Timmerman on the subject
