"Vogel is a man of heavy sexual needs, but he's also a total paranoid because he has to be to survive. He has a project, a hobby, that's highly offensive to anybody but something he does anyway. It's called schwartzenbrood, or something like that. He acquires, trains, and even breeds black women. He picks them according to rigid criteria, acquires them only from other area gruppenfuehrers, and they alone are his personal household staff. They prepare his meals, and test them first, and they make his bed, dress him, even bathe him. He treats them more like pets than people. When he gets new women, he always spends some time with them in the Safe Room." I got that ugly twinge in the pit of my stomach. "You want to slip me in as one of them? And take him in the Safe Room and get him to the Labyrinth through the tunnel?" He didn't say nothin', so I added, "You got to be jokin'." "He's arranged to purchase three women from a man he's done business with many times before down in southern Virginia. He trusts this man as much as he trusts anyone, because he's got concrete evidence that the man is both a thief and a traitor, which he is. This man's under constant watch by the secret police; he only lives from day to day at Vogel's whim. We, however, can pull a substitution there thanks to our own agents and resources. Vogel's men then pick them up and take them, and you, to the manor. One of the girls is nearly a dead ringer for you-not identical and probably not related, but so close that it's mostly a matter of switching fingerprint cards. You get in, and he takes you to the Safe Room. We'll be monitoring you all the way thanks to a tracer we can put inside your body that even Vogel's best won't discover." "He'd never buy it," I told him. "Hell, Bill, I'm kinda fat and without my good, but I sure as hell can't keep up no Gone With the Wind act for maybe days or weeks. If he's as careful as you say he's gonna check anyways. And even if I got that far, how am I gonna take him? He looks like a pretty big guy in that picture there." "You forget our technology. When we snatched that courier and interrogated him, we had to make him forget that he was ever found out, let alone questioned, and do it so that even somebody else with our technology couldn't discover it. Otherwise, we couldn't have taken even that risk with him. You will be absolutely authentic so that even drugs and hypnoscans will not show you as anything other than what we want you to appear. Only when you are actually in his rooms will everything suddenly come back to you, clearly, completely, and thoroughly. At that point, you'll be able to switch the persona on and off as needed or required-but, of course, you wouldn't stand hard interrogation from that point. We've done it before. We also might be able to temporarily increase your vision by certain techniques, at least for a week or two. Not twenty-twenty, but much better than now. We don't dare apply any sort of contact or surgical correction, of course. Somebody there might notice. What do you think?" "I think it stinks," Sam growled. "How big is Vogel, anyway?" "About six feet, maybe two hundred thirty pounds." "You think he takes 'em in there to play house? How does she get a weapon? Brandy's pretty strong and she's okay in the chop-chop stuff, but you can't depend on that in this case." "We don't intend to. We have capsules that will defy a dentist's examination and |
