Margie ends and Frida begins.

“I’ve got about a million.” Margie said.

“That’s a shame”, the impostor replied, “because we have time for one.”

“Why me?”

“We gave you the code breaking job as a test, to see how much you told people. Every single person who worked there was assigned an allied spy who was to court them and protect them from bombing raids. To find out who would really keep mum and to provide an excuse for you to all learn German. The five of you who actually managed to keep the secrets we threatened with death. You still refused to betray your country, your colleagues did not. We need people like you Margie, even more than we need people like me.”

“So, Roger never really loved me? He was just acting on orders?”

“I’m afraid we really only had time for one question Frida. We are surfacing, it is time to serve your country. You and Dieter will disembark shortly.”

Frida couldn’t believe this was really happening to her.
