Staff Sergeant Harold Lewis Jr. pulled open the door to the cell under the chapel and Staff Sergeant Petronius J. Clark, who was carrying a napkin-covered tray, entered ahead of him.
Both had brassards emblazoned with a red cross, identifying them as medics, around their right arms.
“Lunch, Konstantin,” Lewis said. “A hot roast beef sandwich and French fries.”
“Thank you very much, but I’m not really hungry.”
Cronley entered the cell.
“I’d eat, if I were you,” Cronley said. “It’s going to be some time before you’ll have the opportunity again.”
Orlovsky didn’t reply.
Father Welner entered the cell and leaned against the near wall.
“Bad news for you, I’m afraid, Orlovsky,” Cronley said. “The game’s over. By that I mean you can abandon hope that you’re going to be sprung from durance vile.”
“Am I supposed to know what that means?”
“You were winning. Now you’re losing. You’re good, very good. You even had General Gehlen going for a while. But it’s over.”
