The Seventh Cross1944

Bruno Sauer:
I came because I had something to tell you.

Leo Hermann:
We haven't seen you for some time. Sit down.

Bruno Sauer:
No, thank you. I'll just tell you, and then I'll go. A man came to see me this morning. I had never seen him before, but what he told me may be something in which you are interested. He said he came with a message from a mutual friend. He didn't name the mutual friend, but I think he was speaking of George Heisler. You all know that Heisler escaped from Westhofen and is hiding somewhere in the city. He needs help. I think that's why he sent the man to me. I couldn't be sure the man was what he said he was, so I sent him away. I think now I may have been mistaken.

Leo Hermann:
What was the messenger's name?

Bruno Sauer:
I don't know. He didn't tell me.

Leo Hermann:
What did he look like?

Bruno Sauer:
Small, slight, sandy-haired and freckled. Clothes - he might have been a factory worker. He wore glasses.

Franz Marnet:
That must be...

Bruno Sauer:
I don't blame you for not being willing to speak in front of me. I'll go now. I've told you all I know.

Leo Hermann:
Wait. Sit down. You've done a great deal for us. Franz, who's the man?

Franz Marnet:
Paul Roeder. It must be Paul Roeder. Little? A wide mouth? A manner like a boy? I'm not sure where he lives, but I know the neighborhood. I'll inquire at the market.
