Vogel unbuttoned a breast pocket and took out a scrap of paper. “Remember all of you that my department knows all. Our intelligence is superior to anything else in Europe. I have here the address of a bordello in Paris that I believe among others harbours two young Polish women. They believe their brother will come.” He handed the paper to Arni. “They won’t be there for ever.”
He handed Erich a stamped letter of authority. “That will enable you to remove those women. Don’t f**k it up my boy.”
“Finally does anyone here object to my ongoing retention of Elise?” He gave no time for anyone to answer and saying. “Come,” to Martha, and left.
As the two left the house Vogel said to Martha. “Being a sadist does not necessarily make one evil. Not completely, anyway.”
