ON HER WAY back to the office, she wondered what in the world she was going to do about Hanne. In the end she would probably have to speak with Rønholt.

“Hey!” someone called from behind her.

She turned around. When she spotted Olle, she realized that she never thanked him for the drawing of the kitchen rat.

He was tall and his hair was thinning at the top. Louise guessed that he was at least fifty, but a look in his warm brown eyes, which kept smiling as he walked toward her, made his age difficult to pinpoint.

“Did you like it?” he asked expectantly, like a child who drew a picture for his parents.

Louise wasn’t sure if it was her expression or because she waited too long to answer, but in any event, he seemed to catch on to the fact that she probably wasn’t a major fan of cartoons.

“I can make something else,” he quickly offered. “I just thought I should make you something now that you’re going to be working with us.”

“No-no,” she burst out, embarrassed that he should have to suffer for her irritable mood. “It’s really cool and it was so nice of you. I didn’t even know you had that kind of talent.”

“I’ve got all kinds of talent,” he retorted in a velvety smooth voice, stepping closer and smiling.

Louise was so taken aback at his undisguised flirtation that she couldn’t think to do anything but just stand there with a sheepish smile.

“You be sure to let me know if you feel like exploring some of the other ones,” he went on as she slowly began to take a few steps backward.

“Olle!”

Eik came out of the cleaning room, tucking his pack of cigarettes in his pocket.

“She’s mine.”

Louise turned around, feeling relieved that her rescuer wasn’t having lunch at Posten with the others. She gave a quick nod to the tall, gangly cartoonist and fled down the hall toward the Rathole.
