<p>1<br />
October 30， 1984<br />
Huddled into his threadbare overcoat， Drew Ellis stood<br />
on the dimly lit platform feeling the cement floor tremble<br />
under his feet as the trains thundered into the Friedrichstrasse<br />
station. It was a dim， depressing place， with a thin line of<br />
shuffling， shabbily dressed East German pensioners outside<br />
the brown， duty-free shop， waiting to buy cheap presents to<br />
take to the expensive West， or a week s worth of cheap<br />
tobacco and alcohol to consume at home.<br />
The shop was narrow arid long， a boarded-up cupboard<br />
on one side， cartons of cigarettes pressed against windows on<br />
the other， an aisle in betwe~， where a man and woman<br />
worked with the patience of primitive robots. Posters in front<br />
of the waiting room advertised holidays in the Harz moun-<br />
ains and the cultural delights of the Pergammon. A trio of<br />
East German Vopos， their drab green uniforms reminiscent of<br />
WWlI films， walked in suspicious phalanx down the broad<br />
flight of steps at the far end， which led to the crossing point<br />
and the East.<br />
Ellis huddled against the wall. The station was western<br />
territory， and technically speaking he was safe there. But East<br />
Germany was only two flights of stairs away， and as a senior<br />
intelligence ottqcer， he should not have come; not alone，<br />
anyway.<br />
But he d had no alternative. He had to meet Emma.<br />
He d lived without her for eight days， and those days had<br />
seemed like an eternity. Besides， he wanted to be sure<br />
Emma was safe.<br />
Emma was Czech， and as a sturdy six-year-old， had<br />
walked across the border with her family during that Prague<br />
