One night in February Hans came home from work to find Rainer standing outside his apartment door. This was the last thing Hans wanted. He could only get himself in bigger trouble, talking to Rainer again.
"Rainer, you shouldnβt come here. Iβve been followed lately. Someone probably knows youβre here β or will see you leave."
"I had nowhere else to go, Hans. Iβm hiding out. The Stasi is looking for me."
Hans felt his hope drain away. He was caught, either way. If Rainer was telling the truth, Hans should have nothing to do with him. If he was lying, and was actually here it seduce him into a mistake β to please some Stasi agent β that was even worse.
Just as Hansβs life is improving, he begins to suspect that German authorities are watching him again. Going back to prison would be painful, but worse is the thought that he might miss his opportunity for a future with Elli.
