"You see, a few hours drive from Munich lies a farm where we are building a

                   larger art store. These include about artworks from Leningrad, as you know that
                   we are holding in an iron grip."



                   Uno nodded. He couldn’t imagine anything more stupid than going to war with
                   Russia – in Russia. But that's what they were. Stupid.

                   "Whether it's a painting, a sculpture or something completely third, the art must

                   be photographed and recorded before the work is considered for an exhibition
                   and can move on to Linz when the museum becomes a reality."

                   Uno got some courage.
                   "How did you think I should work if the warehouse is outside of Munich?"

                   "Well, of course you’re moving to the farm. We look after anything. You get your

                   own room, and live farm owner, Walther Stormann. "
                   The sharp emphasis indicated that it was not up for discussion, and Uno quickly

                   nodded.

                   "You work three weeks at a time, and then you’re off for one week where you are
                   free to travel back to Berlin, if you please. Bringing your wife along down to the

                   south is of course also an option. It’s up to you. I assume you can operate a
                   camera? We have one available, but you must find yourself a local place that

                   develops the photos. I'm sure there are many who want to make money on such

                   a huge order."


                   Uno felt an eagerness spreading in his body, his heartbeat hit faster, and he was

                   rocking back and forth on the hard seat. Even though he read the letter Angee
                   had sent, it wasn’t until now, that he realized what was expected of him and what

                   he could get out of it. What he had thought to be a sad and gloomy day, suddenly

                   became great. It all turned in one moment. The thought of getting away from
                   Trudie, and, of course, an opportunity to see a part of the Czar’s huge art

                   collection with his own eyes.


                   Even the anonymous and pale office suddenly had a new more cozy light, and he

                   could not help smiling while Angee explained how Uno had to hand over the
