Long ago, when life was still normal. Briefly she woke, to find herself somewhere cool. The pain was beating against the inside of her skull, crashing in waves against the bone. Dim memories crowded her mind. Lying in the street in Winterfeldtstrasse, people around her, her head pounding. Being picked up, and traveling in a taxi. She moved, and an agonizing ache knifed through her ribs. The threat to Erich. Bruno. Arno Strauss. The dead girl and the visit to Katia Hansen. She could not make sense of any of it. In the past few weeks her entire life seemed to have become unhinged from its normal path. It was like that moment in the cinema when the film speeds up and slips from its projector, spooling crazily away with all its images, leaving only a flickering darkness. She fell asleep again. It must have been some hours later when she woke. Fatigue pressed down on her like a crushing weight, making it difficult even to stretch out. The bed she was in felt luxuriously deep and soft, the sheets deliciously chill against her hot limbs.
