Will Bonner "Yes, but only since you left the telephone workshops." "What's the other area you want to talk about?" "Israel intelligence are after all the war criminals, plus any information about Nazis who have emigrated here. If we can get information about them, and pass it on, then the Israeli's, in return, will reciprocate with information that we want." At the mention of Nazi's Will's mind was suddenly triggered. A picture of Stefan came into his mind, and his brain shifted gear. This may be a way of resolving that particular problem, at least, it was worth pursuing. Ed was still talking whilst Will was thinking. "You're moving about amongst these people especially in this large company. It's a slow process, and whatever you come across, we'd like to hear about it." Will had made up his mind about Stefan and would worry about the consequences later. His abuse of Joanna had to stop. Ed had stopped talking and was waiting for Will to respond. "I'll do a deal with you Ed." "Not another one!" "This girl Joanna, who works in my office, is being physically abused by her husband. I've been thinking about going to the police to get it stopped." Ed laughed out loud. "You must be crazy! The police are nothing more than a bunch of lawyers, running around with badges on. It would take them forever. Just think of how many forms they would have to fill in!" "She is definitely Dutch, but I have reason to believe that her husband Stefan, has taken on a Dutch name to hide his past. Without him knowing it, I listened in whilst he was trying to physically persuade another German immigrant to do something that he didn't want to do. By the sound of his objections, I'm convinced that he was attempting to recruit this man into some sort of movement, possibly similar to the Hitler Youth, and his bombastic, egotistical nature shouts out that he could have originated from the Nazi Youth Corps." Ed attempted to speak but Will carried on. "I haven't finished yet. If I find out for you that he is part of some movement, no matter how small, will you see to it that he's stopped from abusing his wife, or better still, removed from the scene?" Ed didn't pause to think. "If you do what you say you'll do, we will do our part. You can rely on that." 192

The Reluctant Agent A Compelling Story of Espionage "There is one more thing." "Oh no, not more conditions!" Will chuckled. "With regard to the Yugoslavs, I'm not going to spy on them without moral justification. They've treated me well." "No, I don't want you to do that, listen to what they have to say about the Croats. We can't find out where they hold their meetings, and only occasionally get information regarding locations, after they have taken place. They never seem to meet in the same place twice." "Okay, but my prime concern at the moment is centred on this Nazi. I'll have the information for you in a couple of days, and I want you to act quickly." It was getting close to Dorothy arriving home as Will walked up Hawksburn Road. It was always a pleasant walk up that road but his mind was troubled. In one day he had been launched back into the fray, and already calculating what he should do tomorrow. Arriving at the apartment simultaneously with Dorothy, prompted the obvious question. "You're late Will?" "Yes, I've had quite a day." Over their evening meal they discussed Will's move to the new factory. The next day Will went over to Stefan's department to ask where he could be located, and was delighted to hear that he had been sent over to one of the subsidiary companies for the day. Down in the salvage department the German was working alone, and Will closed the door behind him and locked it from the inside. It was quite often closed to the staff, so no one would suspect that anything was amiss. The German got up from his chair. He was a quiet man, in his late twenties or early thirties, always ready to oblige and Will was already regretting what he was going to have to do. "What are you locking the door for?" he queried, an apprehensive look on his face. "I want a chat with you and don't want us to be disturbed. Your name is Klaus, isn't it?" Klaus moved to the far wall, putting as much distance between himself and Will as he could, his whole body language and facial expressions were changing to fear, and for a moment Will felt sympathy welling up inside, and he strived to 193
