“We’ll disclose the location just a few minutes before the

meeting,” Zadislav informed him.

“Oh, you’re quite right.”

A week later, during another shopping expedition for the pub,
Leiby slipped away to the border crossing point. Pyontkovska’s
dog followed him like a shadow. Leiby didn’t drive him o ; he
felt sorry for the lonely dog.

Max Berman waited for him in the designated place.

“ e head of the Polish underground, Veitzach, is due to arrive
next week, but they won’t divulge any details about where the
meeting with him is to take place.”

Max pulled a face. “ at’s problematic. If our soldiers don’t get
to him on time, he’s liable to get away, and then your cover will
also be blown,” he warned. “Try your best, Leiby. Try to get
more details.”

Leiby nodded. “And what about Vizniak, who collaborated
with the Germans?”

“Don’t worry, he won’t get away. His prison cell is reserved just
for him. But we prefer not to enter the village just yet.”
