"Have you been stopped yet?"
"No, but I've been followed. I'd have gone out and walked around some last evening, but was followed all the way from here to the hotel. The same man followed me from the hotel here this morning."
"The baron" appeared to be genuinely surprised at this statement.
"I don't understand that," he said. "What kind of looking man was it that followed you?"
"He was middle-aged and dressed in civilian clothes."
"I'll find out about this," "the baron" announced, pressing a button on his desk.
An office messenger between 60 and 70 years old entered.
"Is Schoensiegel or Blau out there?" inquired "the baron."
"Blau is," replied the messenger.
"Send him in."
