“You’re ready?” Sergeant Arenberg asked as they made their way to the truck.

Océane was too glum to answer, preparing how she was going to inform her colleagues that she was just showing her face to rob them for the sake of the Germans. When they were finally alone in the army truck, she could no longer hold back and burst into tears, clamping her hands before her face in utter shame and humiliation. He had the decency to let her cry, obviously understanding in what position she’d been placed.

Steering the big truck along the Place de la Concorde, he said softly, “I have an idea, Madame Docteur. It may help unburden your heavy heart. What if I go in and order them to hand the supplies over to me? There will be guards at the hospital whom I can give instructions to help me. I’ll take the General’s list and you stay in the truck. That way no one will blame you.”

She looked at him through her tears. His sharp profile as he concentrated on the Paris streets. This man was truly kind, and he understood her. “Thank you,” she said sniffing in her handkerchief. “Can you … could you in some way tell my colleagues why I haven’t shown up. They don’t know what happened.”

“I will, don’t worry. Here.” He handed her a thermos and a bar of chocolate. “I’m told every woman’s heart becomes lighter when they see chocolate.” He gave her a sideways grin and Océane managed the ghost of a smile herself.

“Thank you, Sergeant.”

“I’ll leave the engine on. That way the cabin will stay warm. I will be back soon.”

After he was gone, Océane tentatively screwed the metal lid from the thermos and poured herself some of the black liquid in the top cap. She put the chocolate in her bag, keeping it as a treat for her grandfather and Gaël and Marie.

Gazing out of the small cabin window at the hospital that had been like a second home for her the past two years, she could hardly imagine she wouldn’t be working there anymore. First Professor Rozenkrantz and Doctor Ferron gone, now she. She hadn’t heard from her mentor in months, had no idea where she was. If she was safe. War tore every friendship apart.

Her thoughts returned to that odd and sinister Dieter von Stein. The man sent cold shivers up her spine, but she also reeled at the power he held over her. She needed to get to his plan for her fast. There was no time to waste. He didn’t need a fulltime doctor. What is it, what can it be?

She sensed in a macabre way that it had to do with her relationship with JJ but why he didn’t interrogate her if he wanted to draw information out of her, was mystifying. Not that she knew anything. Apart from the name D’Artagnan and the house on the Rue Fitou and that hadn’t come up at all. Von Stein had access to a piece of information that she had not.
