“I think you are here for your government to meet a Hungarian colonel by the name of Imré Dinar.”

Slater had finally regained his composure and concealed any reaction to the name.

“Have you any way of identifying yourself?”

“No,” she said. “Have you?”

Slater did not answer, and Ilse took another step in his direction.

“Please, Ilse,” he said, “sit down and let me think a while.”

The one time in his life when he had wanted his office to expose him they had refused. Lord knows, they had done so, inadvertently, enough times. The Germans had already refused to reveal their agent’s identity. That was the real reason for his office’s refusal, Slater was certain. It wasn’t because they didn’t believe he was not expendable. And now what? Her knowledge of Dinar proved only that she was either what she claimed, a member of German Intelligence, or in the employ of the Communists. This tender scene might be a perfect provocation to take him off his guard, to find out what he knew. The Communists couldn’t have picked a better instrument.

“I would be delighted, Liebchen,” Ilse smiled slowly. She was now sitting on the bed. “You can think what you like, but you will not be able to close your mind to me, Bill Slater. I will wait.”
