CHAPTER 91

— CAN I STEAL IT for a moment? — Said Maria Orsic as she entered the room where the Führer was with Mengele and Sandro Palmeira.

Mengele smiled and said:

— It is all yours, I think we are done here.

Sandro nodded ruefully.

Maria approached her guest and hooked his arm as if inviting him for an old-fashioned stroll.

— I hope you are a gentleman with a lady, Sandro.

— Only with the prettiest and smartest.

She looked at the two monsters that were in front of her and said:

— I hope you have learned how to treat a lady.

AS SOON AS THEY LEFT, Maria smiled kindly and said to Sandro:

— Did they tell you why you are here?

— They just rolled.

— I imagined… — she looked at John and continued — you two have important missions here, Sandro, by the time I tell you that we have to get out of here, you won't argue, you'll just obey my orders, are we understood?

He looked at John.

— He's friends with the girl who asked you to come here.

— I would have guessed, but… are not you too old to do this sort of thing?'

— There are things we just have to do, regardless of age.

— I liked you, grandpa.

— I liked you too, boy, but the next time you call me grandpa, I am going to have to spank you.
