The 11:00 A.M. flight of the Lufthansa Fokker 100 landed smoothly on Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport runway, turned around, and headed back to the terminal. A cold wind blew rain across the window and left dampness in the air.

"Now that we are back in Rome," the detective said, "Klaus Baer can once again become Klaus Burchel. You can forget about that frightening grandfather of yours and go back to being just an everyday crook." The man laughed.

Klaus bit his tongue. He'd had enough of Stein's envoy to last six lifetimes. Big and strong, the man was inescapable and was the only one who enjoyed his asinine jokes.

"Actually, you are an extremely lucky fellow," the detective said. "Most employers would have written you off. Some would've had me just put a bullet in your head. Not Dr. Stein! I'm amazed that he wants you to come back to work for him after you knocked off a priest and ran. Actually, bumping off that man wasn't too cool."

Klaus kept looking straight ahead.

"Don't worry about getting through passport control. Nobody's connected you to the killing but Dr. Stein."

Klaus took a deep breath.

"I don't think you'll be in the mood to run once we get in the terminal, but remember all I have to do is pick up a phone and report a killer on the loose, give them a description, and you won't make it to the front door."

"I have no intention of running."

"Good. My car is in the parking lot. I'll take you to Stein's apartment. I think the good doctor even has a task ready for you to do immediately."

The pilot signaling the release of the seat belt sent both men to their feet. The detective stepped behind Klaus. "After you, young man," he said. "I'll be behind you all the way."
