Preparations
I had too much to get done during the remainder of the Christmas holidays to check on Ina, so I resolved to do so as soon as I came home in May. Since I had no wish to make the long drive to Berlin, I figured that I could just drop in on her as a spirit sometime in the afternoon, when I should be able to catch her alone with her child. I knew her address, and my father had a map of Berlin somewhere in his archives, so it should not be too difficult to send my spirit there. I had never really tried to test the limits of the spiritual realm since Hans had taught me the basics; I had no clue exactly how far my spirit could travel from my physical body. Berlin was just over six hundred kilometers from München, so I hoped that the distance would not prove too far.
