Daniel Pov Prisoner Of Night And Fog

Chapter 7

I made my way back home, I didn't know what to do, on my way there, there were rumours of a fight, and I didn't want to be there when it happened.
I stayed around Circus Krone so if Dearstyne were to come my way, I could help him, and to see what happens, maybe I could get a story on it, as long as I stay from sight.

I waited a good half hour before I saw a group of Communists marching by. I hid in the shadows, hoping they didn't see me, I noticed they were going towards Circus Krone. I just hoped that nothing bad happened. Lots of brawls happen, and if girls get involved, things get messy. I remember last year a girl had died.
I decided to stay near, so if something bad happened, I could get a scoop.

I stayed far enough that I shouldn't get involved, I looked and saw that Fräulein Müller had talked with Herr Hitler before the Communists had gotten there. I realised they had noticed Fräulein Müller, I felt a knot in my chest, if a brawl were to start, she'll be hurt.
They got her attention, I saw her pale, the Communists had said something to Fräulein Müller, she closed her hand on her Hakenkreuz necklace. I saw one of the fellows leap forward, ready to attack.

I felt my stomach drop, I don't want to watch someone get hurt, I noticed the SA fellow that is friends with Fräulein Müller's brother push the Communist away, I guess her brother's friend and herself know each other and are on fairly civil terms.
"Get out of here!" he yelled at Fräulein Müller.
 Fräulein Müller looked around, her brother and his friends had just left and noticed her, Fräulein Müller looked at them, "Communists! Help!" she screamed, clearly panicked.
She started to run before a SA officer stopped her.
The two started talking and he led her to a safer place, I heard police whistles in the distance, and he said something to Fräulein Müller "No! That's not necessary!" she said, but the guy had left to get the SA fellow who helped her earlier.
The guy called her name "Gretchen!" he had called. Fräulein Müller turned to him and lead her to his automobile before taking her to where I guessed was her home.

I felt some relief that Fräulein Müller was ok, although I didn't know what to think of Dearstyne. I stayed hidden till the commotion was done, they managed to clean up well, but there wasn't much evidence left.
I left and returned home, and my cousins seemed worried "Daniel Cohen, where have you been?" Ruth scolded.
I sighed "I was at Circus Krone, and there was a fight, I stayed hidden, don't worry" I explained.
The next day I worked on a report before I got ready for my meeting with Fräulein Müller at The Golden Phoenix.
