“Our friends have gathered at the courtyard, just as we expected,” Zollner said with a chuckle.

“What about Adriano?”
“I believe the other brother is… yes, he poked his head out for a peek, now he’s gone again. I believe he is going to make a run for it.” Zollner chuckled. “Seven for seven, coming up.”
“What about Lars?”
“The Swede? Haven’t seen him.”
“He’s supposedly good with a rifle.”
Zollner snorted. “If he thinks he can make the shot, he’s welcome to try.”
