he does. I do not know what it is and he does not tell me. Doc will smoke it sometime Doc loves a good cigar and it is a good cigar.

Doc is beautiful when she smokes a cigar. It is a thing do not judge me.

I do not fuck with Eiger and the cigar shop because he does not buy anything here and that makes me pay attention but also because I like the little guy and his shop and there is no need to break beautiful things just to upset bad people who like them.

I fuck with everything else though because I am petty that way.

First it turns out there has been a fire at Karlsbad House in Doha. This is a thing that happens very occasionally there in the new buildings. They are building very fast and they bring in labor from overseas and it is not always the case that those workers are well treated some of them die on the job and in this case indeed someone evidently died and was lost in the superstructure and his corpse caused a short circuit between two phases and la la. Only one floor was affected and the building suppression systems were excellent and performed above spec.

But now it seems Hans Eiger’s apartment will not be available for his use in the near future. Insurance will cover it of course there will be no—

But well. There you are that is inconvenient.

I do not know who the dead guy was. Rex does not tell me when he gets back. He looks a little haunted. A little more like a Demon than he did. Saul asks me if he is okay.

“Yeah he’s fine.”

“He doesn’t look fine Jack.”

“What are you his mother?”

“Just getting the lie of the land Jack.”

“Rex was just some guy. Lost his brother to criminals. Wanted to do right by his country.”

“Look where that gets you.”

“Right?”

“There’s an issue around group cohesion when a given component of the group is allowed to feel disconnected and—”

“What are you like the most heavily armed shrink north and west of the Atlas mountains here?”

“I am a commando it is the skill set—”

“I really do not feature Marine Force Recon talking group dynamics in the Humvee—”

“That is because you are an effete criminal snob with no working knowledge of the complexity of—”

“And you’re a hairless ape with a cannon fixation—”

“I have seen you looking at my guns you want guns as big as—”

“Compensating for—”

(Zzzzzipp.)

“Good Lord Saul what am I supposed to do with that?”

“I am married I am just making a—”

“Why am I seeing all of the team junk this week—”

“WOW Saul that is your actual—”

“Charlie why are you here—”

“Should I also—”

“LUCILLE?”

ZZZZii-

“O GOOD GOD NO—”

“No seriously boss should I show everyone my crime vagina now is that a thing we are—”

“Price why is there dick everywhere NO CHARLIE that will not be necessary also those words I HAVE SAID—”

“Doc can we go away somewhere please to an island and never meet any of these people again?”

“After that I will be seeing all of them every time I close my eyes what is WRONG with—”

“Hi what’d I miss?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“Hi Rex.”

“Hi Rex.”

“Hi Rex.”

“Nuffim Rex hi Rex.”

“Uh. Okay. Well gosh Saul has a very impressive penis.”

“…”

“…”

(ZZZiiip.)

“That is very kind of you Rex and in no way connected with what I am going to say now which is that we are going to go and get wurst as men do there is a Schnellimbiß that I know. There we shall sit and take the air and drink beer.”

“O okay Saul that is nice I guess.”

Saul takes Rex to get wurst he says it is good for broken hearts. Doc gives me the face that says I am basically landfill with biohazards please get my shit together.

I tell her I have a name and I see her smile.

I put on my Banjo and give an interview to a Spanish newspaper about Ambiguitionism. I claim not to know anything about it. I claim to be a wanted terrorist and murderer. I say that I am here to rob Eiger’s bank.

The interviewer thinks this is excellent content but it wants some visuals so I take him into the pig barn and show him the X8 and he photographs it exploding a pigskin in the shape of a pig full of what he assumes is not actually a pig.

It is a pig.

Doc is not happy about this because now she has only seven pigs but you can buy pigs on the Internet and anyway it’s not like we need more than one pig. I am an evolutionary pressure is all, we will end up with the smartest pig for our job and that is the pig that we want.

I watch Hans Eiger go to his garage but his car will not start. There was a strange noise in the engine in his drive home yesterday. Now the key turns and nothing happens.

I watch him call Magnus Lindemann and find out that Magnus is not at home.

Hans Eiger takes a taxi to pick up his suit, which is not ready. He is very sensible about it. It is the sort of thing happens and he understands commerce.

He is standing in the street when someone from the Karlsbad calls to let him know about the fire. Hans Eiger is not happy now and he is almost terse. Then he takes a deep breath and I can see him master himself. He finishes the call and sighs and decides to go for coffee.

He sits and drinks a coffee. It is not his practice to drink coffee at this hour but he does it anyway and he has a little schnapps in it to make it fertig.

He calls his daughter to tell her about his day. Erna tells him she is thinking of moving to Australia.

Hans Eiger does not respond well to Erna and she hangs up on him.

He goes to lunch.

In East Germany it was called Zersetzung: biodegradation. Those assholes would destroy your
