Spiral
“Carter pulled free his ECube, weighed it in his palm, then accessed five codes; the ECube flickered at him with blue digits. Carter smiled - the tiny technical wonder would make sure he was not overheard; it would jam or scramble any listening devices in range.
Carter got out, battered boots crunching on gravel, and lit a cigarette. He looked up at the home of Count Feuchter - Castle Schwalenberg, a magnificent structure of old stone dominated by a central tower with a grey-tiled spire. The... windows were small, set back into the stone walls and flanked with traditional wooden shutters. Miraculously, the building seemed unharmed by the recent conflicts that had ravaged not just Germany but the whole of Europe. A few stray bullets from long-range rifles had peppered the shutters but no major damage had been done.
The sun was out, glinting from the glass. Carter walked across the gravel and was stopped beside a crumbling stone arch by a German Special Forces agent.MoreLess
