"That sort of life isn’t for me. Everyone doesn’t have to start a family."
Had been his standing reply, when Minna regularly took to the subject.
His cell phone vibrates in his left pocket. He carefully picks up the phone, while
putting the other phone with the interactive map away. He connects the specially
made headset and accepts the incoming call; it’s Bjørn again.
“They’re fucking on to us. Hold your position. The chopper above is theirs,
not ours. We have one on its way. Right now, I’m figuring out how we can speed
up the process.” It’s not common for Bjørn to swear, he’s clearly worried.
Tom meets Bjørn’s concern in a low-pitched, almost toneless reply. "Who

shielding his eyes to get a view.
The timer shows: 22.33, exactly 20 minutes since he parked the car. The
targets have moved further up in the castle. Tom changes position from his
squatting stance, to get up and run all way over to the bridge that leads inside
the castle, then he continues through the gate and into the castle square, he
makes a to the right turn and pushes himself up the castle's inner wall.
Tom’s trying to listen for any noise, but there’s nothing. No one noticed
this swift little manoeuvre - so far so good. He can now see across the whole
castle courtyard; from the fountain in the middle of the courtyard, all the way to
the spires. A tornado of snow is forming in the square due to the pressure from
