"We managed to get a warning out to the German High Command, but the power went off before we could tell them about the whole situation. The basic tactic will be to hide the mistake and the only way to hide this specific mistake, will be to remove it and that means a full-scale bombing attack."
I could see that I wasn't getting through to Berchard, so I rested an arm around his shoulders and switched to my best Dutch: "You see how happy you made Mandy with those cookies? Just think, if you stay here, you will become dead or end up like one of the innocent people of the town and walk around wanting to kill your friends and then end up dead too. Is it not better to flee, survive and rebuild to bring more cheer and joy to the people around you?"
I had no idea where I had picked up all the words, but they had the desired effect, he saw things our way. It was all about hitting where they were the strongest and he clearly liked to help his fellow citizens and even the people not native to the city, like Mandy.
Or perhaps he and Mandy . . . interesting thought, but it had nothing to do with me. I took the keys from Mandy, who was lost in her cookie heaven, and thanked Berchard, who in turn gave me a loaf of bread "for the road" and it was then that I realized how hungry I actually was. The truck started without a hitch, Jan and Han clambered onto the back, we drove off, Mandy directing me to the next stop.
