I raise my hands in surrender, to make him understand that this is my fault. He looks at me with a frown on his face, after all I screwed up this badly... 《Now, the two of us leave this house and go to the town hall,” he says, bickering. 《Let's take some documents and leave here. After all, now we will be wanted. Or at least, I'm wanted for your kidnapping!》he looks at me reproachfully, and I deserve it, after all I ruined everything and now he risks losing his job. I'm a mess!
《Come on, come, now that they're calling the police, we have to run away, okay?》 And having said that, we cautiously head downstairs to the house, as soon as we reach the bottom of the stairs, in a dead silence that it makes me a little uncomfortable, he places a coat on my shoulders, the one he took from the wardrobe in the entrance of the house, and puts one on himself and indicates to go out cautiously with a wave of his hand. I follow him, a little hesitantly, now we are officially wanted throughout San Marino!
《Follow me, and let's try not to attract attention!》 Alex tells me in a low voice, who in the meantime is looking around, making sure no policeman sees us. 《Hold my hand, pretend to be my daughter or younger sister》 Alex explains to me, offering me his hand, which given the situation, I accept. 《If they stop us, you are Anne Hibermann, you choose whether you are daughter or younger sister, because you will have to use this identity for a long time, until I take you back to your father, okay?》, I nod 《then I will be your sister, it's a more probable figure, given that we don't have that many years apart...》 I stop and then ask him curiously《by the way Alex, how old are you? And how many does Heidi have?》 《Well, how many do I show?》 he asks me, I reply 《Well, about 50 or not, maybe 53!》 I say jokingly and he makes an offended face, which only leads me to a loud laugh! 《Seriously, I'm 28 and Heidi is 25!》
Ah, we're not even that many years apart! I thought some more? 《When is your birthday?》 《It's August 18th, Heidi's is January 30th, I don't remember yours?》he replies 《I was born on May 7th!》 I reply to him and in the meantime amidst the chatter we are almost at the town hall. 《Guten Morgen, Herr Hibermann! Berlin hat angerufen, nach dir gefragt. That's all Dringendes to you. (Good morning, Mr. Hibermann! Berlin called, asked for you. It seemed like something urgent.)》exclaims a German officer, as soon as he notices us arriving towards the town hall, I didn't quite understand everything but I understood that it was something about "Berlin", which from what I remember is the capital of Germany? 《Guten Morgen, were you happy? Und haben sie eine Nachricht hinterlassen? (Good morning to you, what did they ask? And did they leave a message?) Alex replies, in German... yes, I really have to study German, because otherwise I will never understand what they are saying ! 《Nein, keine Nachricht, aber sie sagten, sie sollten so schnell wie möglich zurückrufen.(No, no message, but they said to call back as soon as possible.)》
《Okay, dann gehe ich weiter und rufe sie an, in der Zwischenzeit habe ich einige Auswanderungsdokumente vorbereitet.(Okay, then I'll proceed to go and call them, in the meantime have some expatriation documents prepared)》orders the other officer, who does the Nazi salute and enters the town hall. 《What did he say?》I ask him. 《Nothing important, now let's go inside because I have to make an important call》 We enter the town hall and Alex heads towards his office, I follow him, and as soon as he is inside he sits down and starts calling, while I sit in front of him, trying to pay attention to his conversation with the man on the phone.
