‘May I help you, officers?’
The two police officers walked slowly around the man’s house.
He followed. ‘Hello? Is something wrong?’
‘You are half-brother to Helmut Graf?’
‘Yes. He was here a few days ago. Is he alright?’
The officers stopped. ‘You are concerned for his safety?’
‘Has something happened?’
‘Yes, your half-brother made a serious mistake. He tried to kill some people, some people who you should never upset, let alone try and kill.’
The man shocked upright, mortified. ‘These people, they are from Zug?’
An officer nodded then drew his pistol.
‘Oh, God.’
‘He cannot help you.’
