The Story of Henri Tod
“He turned west purposefully and began a measured stride, looking neither right nor left. He had walked one block when a 1958 Trabant pulled up alongside him. A man seated in the back seat opened the car window and said, “Mr. Jerome?” The man carrying the briefcase stopped and said, “I am a porter from the Hotel am Zoo. I was instructed by a Mr. Jerome to give you this briefcase. He regrets he could not deliver it himself.” The porter handed over the briefcase and walked away.
Captain Gouzenko c...lenched his teeth, and to the driver said, “Go up Pasteurstrasse for one block. Turn right on Greifswalder. Keep the radio on alert. If we are being followed, we will be notified by the time we reach Bernhard-Lichtenberg. If we are not being followed, then go back to Hildestrasse.”
