Dialing & Hiding

Ares

Sergeant Klarsson. A German man of nobility, professionalism and punctuality. Making him a reasonable business partner. I supply weaponry for the German military base and in return, they conceal my identity from the knowledge of German civilisation. A transaction I have with many countries I weaponise with.

I rest my back on my leather office chair. My laptop is in the centre of my desk awaiting Sergeant Klarsson. I decide to know her whereabouts after the phone call. I know I'll get distracted by the troublesome Evelína and I don't need Sergeant Karlsson second-guessing if I'm alone or not.

The photo op screen disappears and there appears Sergeant Klarrson sitting professionally in his office hands clamped together. His grey hair swooped to the left with a side part. A pale man with pink undertones. German weather treating him poorly.

" Kristoffer, mein guter Mann. Lange nicht gesehen "

- Kristoffer my good man. Long time no see -

He says with a dashing smile. For someone who called me multiple times he is in a chipper mood.

" Herr Karlsson. Das Vergnügen gehört mir. "

- Mr Klarsson. The pleasure is mine. -

He sees my response as an entry to speak his demand. He knows I'm a forthright man and hates wasting time. He clears his throat before he speaks no n

" Zunächst möchte ich Ihnen für die große Menge an Sendungen in der letzten Woche danken."

- First I'd like to thank you for the large sum of shipments last week.

"Ich hoffe sie waren nach deinem Geschmack "$

- I hope they were to your taste -

" Nun, wir konnten sie nicht für den beabsichtigten Zweck verwenden, aber ich bin sicher, wir werden die Gelegenheit wieder bekommen. "

- Well we didn't get to use them for their intended purpose but I'm sure we'll get the opportunity again.-

I'm not sure what he means by that response and have no interest to widen this meeting outside its ordeal. My job is to deliver not inquire.

He continues

" Ich musste Sie anrufen, um mich nach der Sendung 356 zu erkundigen. Wir müssen die Ankunftsorte besprechen, meine Männer müssen bald zum Schlachtschiff aufbrechen und ich möchte keine Verzögerungen bei den Produkten. "

- The reason I needed to call you was to ask about shipment 356. We need to discuss its arrival bases, my men will need to leave for battleship soon and I don't want any delays on the products -

" Ich verstehe " I say

- I understand -

I don't understand.
Shipment 356 is the latest material I've been working on. A load of lethal weapons and inventory, I've been holding back on releasing it to him not knowing whether or not the intentions of his actions are in my favour. He's a trustable man but also diabolical like most in this world they shall not be crossed over with.

" I'll send over half of the load over to your station. The other half will remain under construction. We haven't yet mastered the techniques of some of the material " I tell him.

He won't like that response but that's all he'll have to accept. I provide him with the best machinery one can offer. If he loses me he knows he can't reach me again. My identity will be ridden like I never existed in the first place.
