"The most important thing is that we stand together, united as a nation" The

                   Prime Minister has completed his "speech to the nation".
                   Tom turns off the radio, flows back in his stream of consciousness.

                   He has really pushed to get the meeting with Inge-Lise, even though doesn’t have

                   time, because no stone should be left unturned. He has now been close to losing
                   his life twice, in relation with his work the investigation around Gustav Kräsen.

                   The first time, last year, when some of Gustav Kräsen's people managed to kid-

                   nap him, and now again yesterday, where he might as well have been killed when
                   the helicopter crashed.

                    From experience he knows that such a spectacular case will be something that
                   will be remembered for many years to come, and the people who solves it would

                   gain hero status. But the thought, though appealing, isn’t sufficient to keep him

                   engaged. He’s had enough of the job, he’s fatigued physically and mentally, and
                   money as well isn’t that big of a motivator for him. When this case is over, he will

                   do his resignation and take some time off to think about his life and spiritually

                   grow. There is no shortage of offers from the private business world either. Eve-
                   rywhere they want him, either a speaker or a lucrative high exec positions, as a

                   head of security or and advisor.
                   He continues out through Hellerup until the city is left behind him the ocean ap-

                   pears on his right side. If only it was a bunch of idiots they were up against, but

                   it's not. It’s the opposite. The attack yesterday where the mighty Kronborg Castle
                   was the scene of a historically violent event, which in addition to the 6 lives it

                   took, could easily have gotten even more out of hand. He rips of a piece of his

                   bandage care that’s shielding his left ear. Luckily his hearing is intact, it was gone
                   after the first explosion, but had luckily returned gradually.



                   He pushes down on the accelerator a little harder and the car obeys, making him
                   move faster the thick layer of snow, as the two-lane Strandvejen becomes a four,

                   and Hellerup disappears behind him. Further out in the direction of Charlotten-

                   lund, through the fishing town of Skovshoved with the old half-timbered houses.
                   One thing is clear though; before the weekend is over he must find out Gustav

                   Kräsen's Danish connection, and he is close. He can sense it.
