On the Run

After the men left Bruno's office and were escorted from his home. Heidi appeared in the doorway. She had a concerned look on her face as she was quick to ask Bruno what this matter was all about, seemingly having an inkling about who they were to begin with.

"Do these men have anything to do with what you have tasked Erich with?"

Naturally, there were three people in this world who knew about Erich's activities while he was absent without leave from the Army. The man himself was well aware of what he had done. While Bruno, the man who had given him the task to begin with was the natural second.

As for the third, it was none other than Heidi. Ever since resolving to tell his wife the truth, and nothing but the truth, Bruno concealed nothing to her. No matter how grisly the details may be. Thankfully, she was a woman with a thick skin, and a sense of pragmatism when it came to fulfilling one's obligations to family, kaiser, and fatherland.
