It was simple. It was short.

It said Hauptsturmfuhrer Von Steubon will return from his period of punishment on July 23. At that time, you will return for your new assignment.

Punishment, I thought first, stiffening.

I pictured them punishing Freidrich, and I wondered what sort of punishment it would be. Was it like the torture or punishments for prisoners? Or something different? Did it depend on the crime?

I was unable to fall asleep for a good long while, picturing Freidrich, alone, and having to face punishment.

Just as I drifted off, another thought crossed my mind.

July twenty-third.

Freidrich would not be here for his birthday.
