When I came down to breakfast on Sunday morning Roehm was no longer in the house and the panzer had gone. Iso was still fast asleep. But on the easel in the kitchen was her largest sketch pad and there, reproduced in all his uncanny glory, was the figure of Samiel, staring back at me as I filled the kettle. His cape swept the floor, and with a meticulous attention to detail she had drawn the giant hollowed chest and the ghostly ribcage of his living corpse. His face was slightly turned away, only one eye met mine, but the huge dome of his tremendous head loomed perfectly to scale. On the top corner of the page, neatly darkened with cross-hatching, were the barrels of a hunting gun pointing directly out of the picture at the level of the viewer’s chest. I put on the coffee machine and sat down at an angle to the image. But she had been too clever for me. Wherever I sat I saw the single eye of the demon, following me around the room, and the barrels of the gun swivelling steadily, taking aim.
