is pulled down almost to the edge of the glasses, make it impossible to see his

                   face; only his dark complexion and the gap in his chin make him recognizable. In
                   front of him in the picture is a big, muscular guy holding the car door. The guy

                   unmistakably looks like a bodyguard.

                     "Obviously a man who does not want to be recognized," Tom mumbles to
                   himself.

                     "In about 20 minutes, we will begin the approach to Frankfurt Airport," says

                   Steffen Hansen's voice through the speakers.
                   Tom scrolls through the last things Olina has sent him. When he is done, he

                   closes the computer and closes his eyes while the plane prepares for landing. He
                   has seen enough pictures; now he will meet the gentlemen, Gustav Kräsen and

                   Klaus Bonnert in the very flesh.

                     "Well, then here we are." It is Erik Mikaelsen who wakes him from his half-
                   drowsy state.

                     "Oh, yeah," he replies, trying to hide his distraction. "Yes, work calls."

                   Instinctively, he discreetly raises his hand under his shoulder, where his calibre
                   47 sits, and on to the belt, where he has ten extra cartridges in a small holster.

                     He knows with himself that shots will be fired today. He has been mentally
                   preparing for it for the past week or so. Whether it's a form of revenge, or

                   because he can no longer bear to play the harmless agent, he is not entirely clear.

                   The plane lands softly, almost imperceptibly, in the small airfield that lies
                   abandoned in the middle of the white, snow-covered landscape. From the

                   window he can see holding a black Mercedes Classic and a dark blue BMW 210,

                   with the engines running, all the way to where the plane is parked. The company
                   quickly gets off the plane and distributes itself in the cars with Tom in the

                   Mercedes and John and Erik in the BMW. The two drivers were also brought to

                   Germany from Denmark; both are from the Hunter Corps. They have secretly
                   arranged car rental, hotel reservations, and whatever else has been of

                   preparations before even the action, all managed from home by Olina.

                     “Everything is in place, papers, keys, everything is on the seat; it's just driving,”
                   says the man who drove the Mercedes.

                     "Fine, fine, then I'll see you get going," Tom replies.
                     The driver closes the door, leaves the car to Tom and gets on board the plane,
