the now familiar soul-deep shuddering of desire. The threat to their lives had only served to fill him with needy hunger.

He ignored the request to sit, but decided he could explain. He leaned against the footboard of the bed and tried to focus only on Karl"s face. “I"ve done a little research on Volkovsky. As far as I can tell, he has no interest at all in any country but his fatherland, Russia.”

“It"s mother Russia. We in the Germanies speak of our fatherland.”

Reese waved a hand. “Never mind that…that sort of nonsense.”

“I agree.” Karl sighed and stretched his arms over his head, wincing. “I have no interest in great devotion of one country over another, although do I love my England, and the mountains of Neuschlosswold steal my breath. But pray, go on.”

Reese examined him curiously. “Hard for a man in your position if you don"t appreciate national pride. Your whole life is supposed to be devoted to it.”

Karl laughed but didn"t sound amused. “Indeed. So about this Volkovsky. I"m certain he cares nothing for Neuschlosswold. He lives only to help Russian peasantry. Why would he attack me, then? And why do you mention him?”

“I overheard his name that night I listened in on your spy"s conversation.”

“My other spy"s conversation, you mean.”

Reese ignored him. “I"d wager good money that they were discussing this attack. „Hold off a few days," one said. Volkovsky frequently advocates violence against the established powers. I read one of his pieces, and he described exactly those sorts of weapons and techniques, incendiaries with timers along with thrown explosives.” He began to pace. “I haven"t done a great deal of research, yet I don"t believe Volkovsky has actually done anything more than speak of this sort of action.”

“All talk and no action.” Karl began to unbutton his shirt. “Something like tonight"s bomber, who is clearly a sad amateur. No one died. He should take some lessons before he tries again.”
