He didn’t reply. He was about forty, overweight, with slicked-back hair and a neatly trimmed moustache. ‘You’re not German,’ he said accusingly.
‘Yes, I am.’ My hands were trembling as I thought about Wim and the men who might have sent him. Had I not been thinking of something else I would not have claimed to be German. It would have been easier to be a British soldier on leave.
‘Maybe. So where did you get the accent?’ he said, examining my face carefully. Over-confident, I’d been careless. He’d heard some false note and one false note was enough. He narrowed his eyes: ‘Don’t I know you from somewhere?’
‘No, you don’t know me. I’ve been away in Canada,’ I said. If Wim had been positioned to pick me up and kill me, he would have a back-up to support him. If the site chosen for his attack was prearranged, why not have this toughie sweep up along the road to make sure that it had all gone according to plan? If it hadn’t gone according to plan, if I was still alive, the back-up could stop and offer me a ride and make sure of me.
